You can install the QDB and CCDB on a local or remote virtual SQL Server running in either active/passive or active/active mode. You do not have to run the setup program on the SQL Server. If you do run the setup program on the SQL Server, you can run it on an active or passive cluster node.
In active/passive mode, if the QDB names are unique, you can install multiple QDBs on the same instance of the virtual SQL Server. In active/active mode, each active instance of the virtual SQL Server can have a QDB with the same name.
During installation, when you specify the SQL Server instance that will host the QDB or CCDB, specify the network name of the cluster to which the instance belongs.
The default location for the QDB and CCDB data and log files is the SQL Server’s data folder on the shared cluster disk. You must use the default locations when installing the QDB and CCDB on a cluster.
For more information about installing the QDB, see the Section 6.0, Installing a Management Site. For more information about installing the CCDB, see Section 7.0, Installing Control Center Components.
