Installing SSRS on one node (as Stand Alone) in a Failover Cluster
Hi Experts,
We have a SQL Server 2008/Windows 2008 R2 Active passive cluster. We need to have SSRS for reporting needs.
Since SSRS is not cluster aware and does not support failover, Can I go ahead and install SSRS on the passive node and choose "New SQL Server Stand Alone Installation" and install just the SSRS Server?
I would like to point this SSRS Databases on the existing Clustered SQL Server.
Please let me know if this plan looks OK.
Thanks in Advance,

I wasnt suggesting the it from a load perspective, more from an HA perspective. But yes you can also do it the way you have suggested.

the load on SSRS is very minimal. Very few reports executed occassinally.
Does the plan what ever I mentioned sound OK?
