Appendix B: Hosting Configurations for MS DTC 140

Set Up a Remote Node for Hosting DTC

DTC can be configured to use a remote host, which can be either a

dedicated node in the Matrix Server cluster or a stand-alone server

outside of the cluster. This configuration offloads the DTC hosting and

allows the Virtual SQL Servers to fail over while maintaining their DTC

availability.

The following procedure can be used to set up a remote node to host

DTC. The procedure is a recommended method of configuration;

however, your application needs may differ.

1. Open Component Services: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.

2. Expand the Component Services folder and browse to the My

Computer folder.

3. Right click on the My Computer folder to open the Properties dialog.
