We're going to change hardware. From one server to a cluster.
Now we have a "standard" hardware setup :
One server Compaq Proliant ML-370
1GB RAM
Native database (3.60)
Database size about 20 GB
...
We're going to a cluster, ... Do we need to migrate to SQL, or we can stay at 3.60 with Native database?
I don't know anything about Navision performance with a cluster ... some advice?
Thanks in advance

The native database can be run in a failover (active/passive) cluster arrangement. The failover is not completely seamless for the users. They will lose connection during the failover process, and then must reconnect to the backup system.
Why are you moving to a cluster?There are no bugs - only undocumented features.0 -
Thank you bbrown ... Are there any documentation like "How to setup Navision with a cluster" ?
Only changes at hardware setup perhaps?
I have a doc "Navision 4 0 on MS Cluster Server", but it talks about 4.01 and SQL Server. Is Navision 3.60 and native database setup the same?Why are you moving to a cluster?
Here, in Spain, there are 3 or 4 bosses for each worker. Usually, that bosses read some computer science magazine, and they become computer science experts ...
This is very very sad I know, but it's real.

Well ... the company will grow in a few months. But we don't need that hardware.
There are people who don't know that to do with his money ... but this is not my problem
What about documentation?0 -
I don't think there is any Navision specific manual for configuring a cluster. Setting up a cluster is a Windows Server integration issue, so I would look there for manuals.
I remember a Navision white paper about clustering a few years ago. If someone has it, it may be good reading.
Spend some time on the Microsoft Windows 2003 server site. Look at the section on "High Availability". Do some reading. You may decide there is a better way to spend your boss's money.There are no bugs - only undocumented features.0 -

Ooops!! Sorry my English. I have not expressed myself well :? . I have tried to be a little ironic and I don't have any success. :?
I know what is a cluster. I don't know how to set up it.
I know we don't need it, and I told him. But they want it ](*,) ](*,)
They don't know anything about computer science. I think they read a magazine about clustering. Perhaps one of their friends have talk him about clustering ...
I know there is ten million ways to spend that money better.I remember a Navision white paper about clustering a few years ago. If someone has it, it may be good reading.
I'm going to search it, but if someone have it ...0 -

I take it that you have never actually built a clustered server system? If not, I would suggest that you do some reading. I understand that you boss likes to spend money, but I would guess he also likes to get value for his money. What happens if he has an unrealistic expections that you cannot deliver?There are no bugs - only undocumented features.0 -
