I have YET to have a 100% CLEAN install of SQL 2005 in a clustered environment. SQL 2005 Std. was not so bad, I think I finally managed a 99% clean install (no script errors on patches) on the third try.
SQL 2005 EE keeps erroring off on 2153 patch install. The error logs are no help at all; they simply stop logging activity at about the point that the error occurs.
Process:
Install OS
Patch OS to SP1
Cluster OS on SAN
Configure Cluster Groups (DBC01, DBC02, DBC03) with cluster disks
Configure MSDTC (network access, configure cluster resources)
Start SQL Installation
Install RTM Binaries on Node 1 for Default Instance
Install Workstation and non-cluster components on remaining nodes
Install RTM Binaries on Node 2 for Named Instance
Reboot all nodes
Install SP1 for all instances from node 1
Install SP1 for all local services/applications for all other nodes
While attempting to install the 2153 SQL patch/hotfix, the process will either:
Hang while waiting for the first passive node for the default instance; or
Crash immediately with no error messages in the logs.
This is no nearly detailed enough, I know. I'm missing error messages and more. It's snowing outside and I have to get home. I just think that the installation for this product in a clustered environment is very unstraightforward at best, and at worst is a real liability to an organization since it's practically impossible to get it clean the first time through.
When you try to re-apply SP2 for SQL 2005 on node added to cluster it continously fails?
Only way to apply SP2 is to shut down original node(with SP2 allready applied) and then apply SP2 and hotfixes on additional node!
I would like to see some reply from SQL support team for this 'issue'. Is this normal? This bring many issues when you have more than one sql on 2 node cluster....etc
I am having a problem installing the first instance in our two node cluster. We're running 64-bit 2003. I'm trying to install the database engine and client tools only, so of course I get the IIS warning for both nodes. This is expected because I don't want Reporting Services. So the install should still work. However, I'm also getting the ASP.net registration message on only one node.
"Failed to find the ASP.Net Version Registration with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)."
I suspect that I should be getting the error on both nodes because I don't have IIS installed on either node. But again, I only get a warning for one node. This is probably the cause of my failure because it sees the nodes as being out of sync. I'm not sure how to correct this though when it appears that the nodes are exactly the same. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Do I have install sp2 on each node in the cluster or do I just need to install it on the active node and reboot? Do I need to pause the active node? I was looking for some documentation for this and didn't mention anything regarding pausing the active node in the cluster in order to apply the sp2 for sql 2005.
I am trying to install a new database onto a SQL 2005 cluster with installshield and am getting an error that I can not find any info on. The error is as follows.
"Cannot use program file ... for cluster server. Only 4 metafiles on which the cluster resources of the server has a dependency can be used."
I will confess to knowing very little about clustering so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi we have a two node windows 2003 x64 cluster, each running a SQL 2005 instance. I've added a new node to the cluster and am now trying to set up a new instance of SQL 2005 on the new node (node c). During the install i am getting a failure just after the stage where you choose the features to install. I'm selecting SQL database engine with Failover Cluster. When i click next i get a message which states:
"The drive specified cannot be used for program location. Program Files must be installed on a valid local disk available on all cluster nodes. The valid values are"
I've read a number of articles about possible causes for this and i've checked all the suggested causes but none of these have made a difference. The cluster disk resource is healthy and can be failed between all nodes in the cluster. No errors are generated. I am using an account which has domain admin rights and I can access all admin shares on all nodes. Some of the articles i have referenced are here:

http://blogs.technet.com/mbaher/archive/2007/03/23/clustering-sql-2005-and-administrative-shares.aspx I've tried uninstalling all components etc but still i can't get it to work. The next step is rebuilding the server completely so does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a Cluster environment that has SQL 2000 Enterprise installed. I would like to install SQL 2005 Enterprise as well. What should I watch out for. Do I need to specify a named instance for the 05 install, setup is giving me the option and does see the 2000 instance? Is there a document that walks through this installation?
While I installed on the active node I got the following error: A recently applied update, KB921896, failed to install
After that installation finished , but query the server version I get: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
9.00.1399.06 RTM Standard Edition
On the Visual Studion Manager Help About I get 9.00.3042
Error logs are below. Can you please tell me how can I overcome this?
TIA.
I paste here the summary and the hotfix logs of the primary node. There is also the Redist9_Hotfix_KB921896_SqlSupport.msi.log but it is too long to paste here.

I am tying to set up an SQL 2005, SP1 failover cluster on a new set of hardware. Everytime I try to run the install, I get this error
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ------------------------------
Setup failed to start on the remote machine. Check the Task scheduler event log on the remote machine.
I've gone through this doc (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189910.aspx) and checked all of the applicable cautions:
I don't have an antivirus package running.
All of the SQL setup pre-checks run fine.
I have a SQL Group created, with the shared drive as a resource.
NBT is disabled on both heartbeat NIC's.
NBT is explicitly enabled on both external NIC's.
While I do have DDNS running, just to be safe I've pre-created an A record for my SQL VR.
Both nodes are registered in DNS and Setup correctly finds the second node.
In the Application event log on the second node (the one failing...), I get MSI Installer 'Install Started' successes (and sometimes I even get "Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Installation completed successfully.")
I am running the install as myself, a Domain Admin and am explicitly added to the Administrators group on both servers.
Remote Registry is running.
Task Scheduler is running.
There is plenty of space everywhere.
All of the Admin shares are enabled.
The node I am running the install from is the owner of all of the cluster groups and resources:
Cluster group
MSDTC group
SQL group
This is all that is in my setup log:

I am trying to install multi instances on my server cluster 2003 R2 Sp2. Because of the compatibility issues with my services I need to install both SQL 2000 and 2005. With 2000 I can easily specify the instance and servername. The server name can be the same, but the instance has to be different. Is this true for 2005? I have found so far that for every new instance that you create that you need to have a different virtual server name. How can you utilize the same virtual name and have multi insances
I would like to install SQL server 2005 cluster on Windows 2003 cluster. Is domain controller (AD and DNS) necessary for the SQL server 2005 cluster? If yes, may I install it on one of the SQL server 2005 cluster nodes? Thanks in advance
Hello All, I am trying the following script to upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP1 to SP2. I have an Active Passive cluster configuration. I have default instances of SQL Server. I am using the following script.
The sql server install fails to run. When I used the above command with just
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /quiet still the summary.txt file came with authentication success and that is all. I changed the above script and did
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /instancename=instancename of the cluster
This worked, however the install patched the passive node (DB engine, all the cluster unaware components) but failed to patch the DB engine on the Active node. I had to run the SQL Server sp2 install manually but still it did not patch the DB engine on the primary node
1. Can someone please help me with this issue as I want the unattended install to work. so it installs both active and passive node. I will post the final output and also the ADS script to do this as a bonus if this works.
Here is the summary.txt file.

I am having an existing sql 2005 cluster on an active passive cluster. I need to add analysis service to this as a new component. I am having enough space available in the cluster disks. Following are my queries,
1) do i need a new virtual ip and virtual server name for the analysis services ?
2) do i need a seperate cluster resource group for analysis services with an additional disk added ?

I am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one virtual domain. The nodes can connect to each other as well as the physical machine. When I try to install a fresh copy of SQL 2005 on my cluster, I get an error every time. The error stops the installation while checking system configuration after installing prerequisites. The log file entry is as follows:

I went as far as giving the folder full access to everyone temporarily and received the same error.
I'm have been assigned the task of installing SQL Server 2005 as a cluster on a Windows cluster that has already been setup with a sans.
I've done alot of reading the past two days and I still have a few questions which I need answered before I begin.
Our setup- DC - nothing but domain controller S1 - SQL server 1 S2 - SQL server 2
S1 and S2 share the following drives (database) (transaction logs) (F) (G)
Do I install SQL on each of the clusters? If so, do I just follow the instructions the exact same? And am I suppose to power S2 down while I install SQL on S1 and then vice-versa?
1. have 4 drives and all are within the SQL resource group but can see only 1 drive through management studio when doing a backup
2. Is restore only possible through the /backup folder on the default installation path as it is a small drive so can a restore be possible from any other locations
I have two clustered server. (ms sql 2000 server, windows 2003 server) now i need to add one new server to the cluster and take the secondary node off. I have installed SP4 & hotfix in my SQL Server cluster before.
My question is do I still need to install SP4 & hotfix in my new server?
I'm trying to install SQL into a new cluster. The cluster service is up and running fine. I can even fail it from Node 1 to Node 2 with no problem.
However, when I try to install SQL, I get a screen that tells me that SQL is performing required operations on the cluster nodes...this may take a few minutes.
After hanging on that message for a looong time, SQL comes up with a generic message that the install failed and that SQL is cleaning up. Then, nothing. No error message, nothing that I can track down.
Some system information: Node 1. Dell PE2650, 2x 2.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM - Windows 2000 Advanced Server - Dell Perc3/DC RAID/SCSI Controller - Dell Perc3/DI Integrated RAID Controller
Shared Storage. Dell PV220 - Q: Quorum (1 GB) - S: Data (136 GB) - T: Logs (20 GB)
Additional Notes: 1. I am using a checklist from Dell and another from MS. 2. I have also downloaded and read the checklist from sql-server-performance.com. 3. I have ensured that the comclust.exe was run on both nodes prior to starting the SQL installation 4. I am using SQL Enterprise Edition. We used the same CD to install a cluster server two weeks ago.
Questions: 1. Where can I find an installation error log that might point more specifically to where the problem might be? 2. Any thoughts on what the problem might be? 3. Anyone ever experience something similar?
Have SQL 2000 SP4 clustered instance running now. Attempted inplace upgrade to SQL 2K5 standard edition. Boxes are Windows 32 bit Ent Edition, SP2. Install wizard installed pre-req's just fine, and I got past the "components to install" box of the install wizard. When I clicked next, the current 2000 instance (already installed component) was grayed out and I could not select it. Checking the messages in the install wizard, I saw that my "upgrade was blocked". I cancelled out of the install wizard to verify all requirements.
Bounced both boxes, and now when I try to run the install wizard, it tried to install the required support files (ASP.net 2.0, SQL Native Client and what not) and then the install wizard hangs..... and never comes back. I have to kill it from taskmgr. Bounced the boxes and tried again, same thing. Install wizard hangs forever.
Yes, I am running from the active node holding the cluster resources. Yes, SQL 2000 instance is cold. Yes, I've checked add/remove programs and there is nothing to uninstall. Checked event viewer and I see the following errors:
Hanging application setup.exe, version 2005.90.1399.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.

I've reached out to our TAM, but any help would be appreciated. No matter how many times I try, the install wizard now chokes and never comes back.
I'm running into issues installing SQL 2005 Enterprise on a Win2003 server. They seem to be related to missing rights. I've done a lot of research and have come up empty. Does anyone know why I'm getting these log entries? Thanks for any help.

There are have 2 nodes.Both on cluster and on a test_domain.Test domain is a active directory domain.
Node_A & node_B has C and D drives.D drive will have programs.
There is one common drive E - where data will go.
Now,I have to install SQL2000 on it.Can anyone tell me in layman's way how to install it.Do I have to have D drive in shared mode?When I give remote connection what should I give here?
Win 2000 clustered was installed by a NT expert and is working fine.
I am assuming drive_D will hold the SQl programs.
I tried one article posted here from Sqlserver preformance side but nothing worked.
Does it matter as both the nodes are on a Active Directory?
yesterday i installed sql2k5 on a activepassive cluster and for some strange reason the mssqlserver service does not want to start up on the node that i installed it on but if i fail it over to the passive node it will start fine. system info below:
I am looking for a best practice or any suugestion on the best way to install an additional Sql 2005 instance in a cluster environment. We have a production environment that is active/active/passive and need to install an additional instance with a little impact to the current production instances as possible. Ant suggestions or articles I can review?
I can't seem to install SQL Server 2005 (x64 version) on an x64 Win2k3 two node cluster.
I get all the way through the configuration and setup fails because it cannot start a task on the remote node. The error message indicates to check the task scheduler log file, which I have and I cannot find any 'errors' in the file.
Google/MSDN/Technet turn up nothing on multiple searches. Has anyone else run into this problem?
My installation account is a local admin on both machines, so is the sql cluster account. For the life of me I cannot figure out what's different for an x64 install vs 32bit....
Try to install sql 2005 x64 on a Win2003r2 x64 two node cluster. All looks fine as far I get to the "cluster node configuration" dialog. My second node is always displayed as "unavailable node" reason "unknown".
- I checked the logfiles but could not find any error. - Installation user & cluster user are both local admins. - Tried with sql 2005 x32 version -> same result.
What do I miss out here? Any help is highly appreciated.
When trying to install SQL 2005 as a failover cluster in a Windows 2003 64 bit SP 2 cluster, I receive the following error when trying to select the installation path after choosing to install as a failover cluster.
_________________________ TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup ------------------------------ The drive specified cannot be used for program location. Program files must be installed on a valid local disk available on all cluster nodes. The valid values are __________________________
There is a knowledge base artical that says this can be from not installing the software with an account with admin permissions on all the servers in the cluster with the 64 bit install, but the account I used is an admin on both servers.
The only thing that I can think is causing the problem is that it is setup to boot from our SAN and it is using one fabric. By default Microsoft Clustering doesnt like this, but we use the newest storeport driver and applied the registry key supplied in KB article 886569 to resolve this. I could not find any documentation showing that this would limit a SQL 2005 Failover Cluster from seeing the shared storage.
