  • 1.  Feedback on SQL database Cluster

    Posted Jul 17, 2018 08:42 AM

    Hi,

    We are re-thinking our SEP management infrastructure and we are considering setting up a SQL database Cluster as the backend SEP site database.

    We have noticed that the document "Symantec™ Endpoint Protection 14 Sizing and Scalability Best Practices White Paper" mentionned using database cluster but we cannot find anymore information about it.

    Anyone have any feedback on using SQL database Cluster with SEPM, any limitations or problems ?

    Thanks in advance !

    What are your objectives? For BCDR purposes?

    There is a best practive on fail over/load balancing SEPMs:

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for your answer, yes exactly we are doing that for BCDR purposes.

    We want to have a single Symantec site with 6 SEPM spanned on two datacenter, so we are seeking to implement a SQL cluster also spanned on the two datacenter, to improve BCDR.

    Currently we have the architecture referenced in your documentation, but we want set up a cluster to automatically switch up in case one of the datacenter goes down. Because SEPM can have only one database parametered we thought to use database cluster.

    Any thoughts on that ?

    Thanks.
