How to find out which physical node the virtual server is using

Wing,
The clustered SQL depends on the hard drive you have
installed it on. So whichever cluster owns the hard drive
at the momenent- that is the node Cluster is using.
Also, you can check it through the Cluster Administrator
utility.
Log on to OS of Cluster A or B (does not matter) and start
the Cluster Administrator. You will see your Cluster A
and B servers on the left. Click + to expand teh view and
choose Active Groups.
If you see your SQL cluster group under the Active Groups
of Cluster A- then virtual server is using Clsuter A. Same
goes for Cksuter B.
Hope this helps,
Nerses

You can use xp_cmdshell to run cluster.exe (command line cluster administrator)
