How could automated failover ever be justified?
Typically when you are setting up an Active/Passive cluster, the only software license cost you have is for the Windows OS. So for example if it is a SQL Server, you only need to license one copy of SQL Server. When patching is done correctly both nodes of the cluster shouldn’t ever go down at [...]

What is the maximum size of nodes?
The maximum cluster size depends on the application and operating system. More nodes usually always provides better performance and availability. But there are a few limitations out there; VMware, for instance, has a maximum ESX HA cluster of 32 nodes. Mostly I’ve only heard of recommended maximums, that are either 8, 16, or 32.

What formula is needed for this below in Excel?
If I understand your question correctly, you could use a combination of the <a href=”http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP100625621033.aspx”>CONCATENATE</a>, <a href=”http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP100698361033.aspx”>FIND</a> and <a href=”http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP100625681033.aspx”>LEFT</a> functions. For example, if you have “12400″ (you said back slash) in A1, you could put something like this in A2: <pre>=CONCATENATE(LEFT(A1,FIND(“”,A1)-1)+1,”2400″)</pre> If that’s not what you mean, please provide more details. -CarlosDL ——————
