  • 1.  What is the best practice or exclusion for Clustered SQL Server SEP deployment ?

    Hi,

    Can anyone please share your knowledge here in the forum regarding the best practice of ANtivirus deployment in Clustered server for SQL Server on VMware VM?

    I have just upgraded to SEP v 11.0.7 but somehow the Cluster has always got an issue with "split Brain" syndrome due to the Quorum disk issue.

    Cheers !

    Many thanks for the assistance Chetan.

    So in this case I shall create separate group in the SEPM console to contains all of the Clustered Nodes in my domain ?

    Yes, you can. It will allow for easier administration if you need to make policy changes for only these machines.
