Hi All,
I'm designing a SQL 2008 R2 Cluster on windows 2012 servercluster (2nodes) and am wondering if I need to foresee MSDTC as a cluster resource.
I'm only going to deploy the database engine and reporting services.
Do I need DTC then as well or not?
I've found the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189910(v=sql.105).aspx
It states the following: "Before installing SQL Server on a failover cluster, determine whether the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) cluster resource must be created. If you are installing only the Database Engine, the MSDTC cluster resource is not required."
The cluster will be used to host System Center products.
What are your thoughts on this?
Many thanks!
Filip
