I have a two node Windows 2003 cluster running 4 instances of SQL
2000. The two nodes we have now are blade servers that have dual
3.0GHz processors with hyper threading enabled and 8GB of RAM (Dell
1855). We need to add a third node to this cluster. The server admin
group has setup a new blade server which is a dual proc,
quad core box with 16GB of RAM (Dell 1955).
I get the feeling that this is going to cause problems since the
hardware is different than what is currently running on the other two
nodes. Both servers do appear on the HCL. Should I expect to run into
problems? If so, what kind of problems could I encounter, and better
yet, why? I would like any information I can get so that if I have to
go back to the server team, I can explain the situation.
Thanks,
Chris
