How to cluster SQL 2005?

Hey everyone,
We are about to try to cluster SQL 2005 for HA on two windows 2003 ent.
servers. Anyone know of a step-by-step white paper? Do I need a "Quorum"
disk like our Exchange cluster?
Are the steps for clustering Windows the same as when we did our Exchange
2003 cluster? If so, then I only need the SQL part of the steps.
TIA,
Clayton
The steps for clustering Windows are the same, regardless of what app you
will be running. As for SQL Server 2005 cluster installs, check out:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179530.aspx
Also, check out www.clusterhelp.com for resources and training.

|||Hello clayton
it is important to have quorum disk because it is a resource for clustering
in windows environment.
U could find step by step installation on http://msdn2.microsoft.com
