I need to install two node cluster on Windows 2003 server, and also need to configure MSDTC. For this I need MSDTC IP Address for the configuration. Can anyone tell me the details what is this MSDTC IP Address and how it is been created? This and SQL IP address can be the same ?
Check the following articles... http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlblog/archive/2006/10/06/MSDTC-and-SQL-Server-on-a-cluster.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/askcore/archive/2007/10/18/installing-msdtc-on-windows-server-cluster.aspx http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic665563-5-1.aspx
I also want to know what kind of device this MSDTC IP should be pointing to. whether it is a Server, Network switch or anything else ?
