SQl clustering

I have a job interview and I need to know what type of questions can be asked about working in a cluster environment, I don't have much experience in clustering, can someone please give me an idea?

Thanks in advance!!

Microsoft has many white papers on the subject, read them. Be prepared for questions like how to setup clustering, anything to look out for?, what is failover, failback etc.

For SQL Server, how many default instance you can have in a cluster?, what's the advantage over log shipping?

When I conduct interview I usually ask few of these questions. This will tell me decide whether to hire the candidate or not.

a. What is QUORUM
b. How long it takes to failover from one node to another node
c. How many nodes you had on your clustering environment
d. How will you know which node is active node now
e. How will you find all the shared drives on your cluster server
f. How will you find the node names
g. Is clustering and load balancing are same?
h. What is heartbeat.

Practice clustering at home. You can use MS virtual server.

where are the answers for those questions?

You will know the answer when you understand clustering.
