clustering SQL 2000

Hi,
I am using vmware product and i will be creating clusterd on vmware box and
cluster sql 2000. does anyone have done that and had any issue?
It is close enough to MSCS clustering to make you think it will work. It is
different enough to drive you to drink.

|||I've used it (VMWare) to play with clustering to get a feel for the steps involved etc. I was handed
an image (two images) with the OS clustered already, but I heard that VMWare has good info on how to
set up such. For "trying it out" purposes it worked fine for me (be prepared to increase timeouts
etc).

|||As Geoff says it's close enough but it never works out the same.
In my case, install scenarios for applying SP4 on a SP4 and RTM (after
failure) cluster which work on VMWare don't on real hardware but it's good
enough to learn the steps.
