SQL 2008 R2 Cluster Protection to Remote Subnet

This video shows how to protect a SQL Cluster (2000, 2005, 2008, 2008 R2) to a remote subnet that uses a different IP range.
Previous videos have demonstrated how to create a multi-site SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster, but the current release of SQL 2008 R2 does not allow clusters to stretch across IP subnets.
Double-Take Availability Application Manager can be used to protect an existing SQL Cluster (either a traditional shared disk cluster using Shared Disk or a Double-Take Geocluster using a Replicated Disk) to a second cluster. The second cluster again can be any type of disk - even a single node cluster.

This video shows how to configure protection between the two clusters, demonstrates a graceful failover between sites and demonstrates a complete production cluster failure resulting in a failover to the DR cluster.

Hyper-V Virtual Machines are used in this video but the same configuration could be used on Physical Servers, ESX Virtual Machines or any other hardware/hypervisor type.
