Thanks for the replies guys.

 

I am still having issues.

 

 

My problem appears to be when i use a named instance as opposed to the default instance.

 

1) I am not able to set up a Health Monitor

 

Here are my settings.

 

 

2) I disabled any health monitors. When i use the default instance i can connect in through the F5. When i specify a named instance it does not work. I have a VIP set up on port 1433. I have the named instanced specified to use port 1437. I have the node configured for this port in the F5. Any ideas? (I can connect directly to the SQL server so its not that)

 

 

Thanks,

 

Ross
