This is super valuable information. We have been working on an upgrade plan from a Windows Server 2003 / SQL Server 2005 Cluster to a Windows Server 2008 /SQL Server 2008 Cluster. Problem is our SAN runs on Serial Attached SCSI which isn't supported. We even started configuring a VMware lab environment which also is not supported! You saved us a lot of wasted time and money. So now we will set it up as Windows Server 2003 / SQL Server 2008. Just paid for our subscription many times over. Great magazine. Great article. WTG Denny!
