I'm trying to install SQL 2000 on a newly clustered Win2000 system.
I'm getting the following error:
The drive chosen for the program files installation path, C:, is not valid on all nodes of the cluster. Choose another drive to install the program files.
I've read Microsoft's explanation of the error, and that the one server can't access the C: drive of the other server if file and print sharing isn't setup correctly. However...
I'm logged on as Administrator, and have full control of both machines.
I'm telling the SQL install to use the administrator account.
If I go to start->run-> and type \serverBC$ the share opens just fine.
I've also check the registry entries that MS suggests: HKey_LocalMachineSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurre ntVersion and make sure that the value for CommonFilesDir and ProgramFilesDir is the same on both the nodes. They're the same
I am trying to install the data files within the same group as the quorom drive, but that should just give me a warning (and it does) and shouldn't be this problem. I'm just trying to install to the system drive (C:) which certainly exists on both machines.
I've seen a couple other posts about this, but no solutions. Any help would be great.
I have 2 Node Cluster with 2000 Advanced. I have SQL 2000 Enterprise. I am trying to setup a failover cluster (active/passive)
I have tried to follow the Microsoft Documentation that came with the box but whe hey what do u know - cannot get it to work. I cannot understand the lines "install a default instance of SQL that runs on both". What does this mean?? I know what a default instance means but running on Both ???
Does anyone have document that will show me the steps.
After installing SQL Server 2005 in Clustering, what are the general post installation tasks that need to be done: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=818234dc-a17b-4f09-b282-c6830fead499&displaylang=en
(1) For SQL Server service & SQL Agent service, should I change the property " Affect the group". What else need to be changed.
(2) What should be the "Threshold" & "Period" which is there below "Affect the group" property. ( Goto Cluster Admin --> SQL Service --> Right click --> Advanced).
I have a question about using MSSQL server 2005 standard edition in Clustering mode. I would like to build a msql cluster with only 2 servers (2 nodes).
I read here -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=818234dc-a17b-4f09-b282-c6830fead499&DisplayLang=en page 5 that you can use MSSQL server 2005 standard edition in Clustering mode with 2 nodes.
But my question is : Can I use windows 2003 standard edition (Clustering mode managed ????) or I only can use windows 2003 enterprise edition ?
We have 2 env. : Testing and Production, both are running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SQL Server 2005. The difference is Testing is NOT running Windows cluster but Production do so, what is the best way to transfer a database from testing to production?
We have another systems that both testing and production are running on NON-cluster and we use backup/restore to transfer the database, can it apply in this case.
And I found that there are a tools called DTC, which can transfer all DB objects from one DB to another, is it a best way to transfer between non-cluster and cluster env.?

I seem to be unable to install this using the link provided on the blog page. I'm getting a "Same architecture installation" error. Running on the machine is Visual Studio 2012 Premium & Sql Server 2012 (64bit).
I am trying to install SQL Server 2000 on a Win2K OS machine but Iget this error message:"A previous program installation created pending file operations onthe installation machine. You must restart the computer before runningsetup."I see others have had this problem but have fixed it using the solutionin:http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;312995I have tried the solution but to no avail. The registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetContro lSessionManagerPendingFileRenameOperations keeps reappearing as soon as Iclose RegEdit.Any ideas?Thanks,lq
Please help,I am trying to install MSDE 2000 so that Backup exec will run on thisserver. I have gotten so far as to find an entry in my SQLSTP.TXT filethat says that c:mssql7 was detected so the install fails.Now, to start with there is no directory called C:mssql7 on thisserver. I have gone through all MS articles on manual removal of SQLserver and instances. I have searched the registry for mssql7 andremoved any keys that matched, as per MS article I have searched onSQLBOOT.dll and it is not present anywhere on my system and I still getthe same results.2:07:44 Begin Action: Detection12:07:44 SQL Server version already installed: 7.00.62312:07:44 Previous Install SQL Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 Previous Install SQL Data Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 End Action Detection12:07:44 Begin Action: ODBCLocked12:07:44 End Action ODBCLocked12:07:44 GetDefinition returned: 112:07:44 Previous SQL Server ProductType: MSDE [0x4]12:07:44 This combination of Package and Operating System allows a fullproduct install.can anyone think of anything here..what else could be causing the server to think there is a previousversion of SQL 7 on this box!!!?
I get an error when trying to install the SQL Native Client. It says it cannot find the installation package and to use a valid copy of 'sqlncli.msi'. I've downloaded the Express setup twice and get the same error from both of them.
I'm attempting this in a VMWare session setup for Windows 2K, Advanced Server. I am trying to test my installation and setup procedures. This is not a production setup, just install testing and documentation. I have allocated only 272MB to the VMWare session, which is why the system doesn't meet the recommended settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to install SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition ,I begin to install it from DVD but during the installation it dosn't ask me about any instance and after installation there isn't SQLExpress service and I can't use sql server .(there are not MSSQL and Binn directory in sql server 2005) but when I install visual studio 2005 and after that I install sql server 2005 it ask me for name of instance and with this way every thing is ok and I use sql server completely.
I 'd like to know the complete installation of sql server 2005 is depend on installation of visual studio 2005 befor it ?if not how can I introduce any instance after installation of sel server 2005 .
I need to cluster two NT Enterrpise Servers with SQL 7 running on them. I have been looking all over the Net for info but not much luck. I need to have some specifics. Can you help me with some good sites or books or both? I have tried Microsoft and they had some info but not much.
We are in the process of consolidating all our SQL6.5 and SQL7 databases to a single SQL 7 server - once completed we want to setup a 2 node SQL7/2000 cluster on either NT4 Enterprise or W2k Advanced Server. I would therefore appreciate any advice in choosing between the two platforms based on cost, ease of setup & configuration and ongoing reliabilty & uptime etc - we currently have no NT4 Enterprise Servers so would have to purchase these licenses anyway. Correct me if I am wrong but I also understand that setting up a cluster on NT4 Enterprise is considerabely more complicated and time consuming than on W2K Advanced Server? Any advice would be greatly appreciated..
I have a job interview and I need to know what type of questions can be asked about working in a cluster environment, I don't have much experience in clustering, can someone please give me an idea?
I have a question relating more to documentation and support. I'm trying to find documentation on clustering.
I remember quite some time ago I found a white paper that literally walked you through every step involved in setting up a SQL Server failover cluster. I had also found a white paper that walked you through setting up an Active/Active cluster.
I've been going through Microsoft's site, but all I've found are little bits and pieces.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, or even provide a link, etc. as to where to find some good solid documentation, that would be awesome.
If i have an activepassive cluster for SQL Server, under what circumstances would it prompt to automatic changeover to the passive cluster ? Failure of the SQL Server, or let's say 1 user database out of 25 becomes suspect?
HiI would like to know if it's possible to make a basic SQL cluster withwindows 2003 server and SQL 2000 standard edtition. It has to be abasic cluster, I dont need it to be very quick, I can have minutes ofservers down and it's ok.In case the answer is Yes, can you recommend some links to build itup, please?Thanks in advance!!Ignacio
We currently have a cluster configuration that is running as failover with one shared SAN storage solution. Two servers running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and SQL 2005 Enterprise. We have two nodes right now running in failover and we will be purchasing a third.
Everything is working now, but we would like to move to an N+1 configuration with two active nodes hosting a separate SQL instance each with one failover node. I've seen N+1 mentioned on about a dozen Microsoft websites, but I cant find any documentation on how to setup or configure this clustering method. Has anyone ever set up a configuration like this or seen any documentation on how to do it? Is it possible to run failover with three nodes, two of them being active?
Hi All, Is anyone can tell me the difference between log shipping and clustering? I look at it and I think that this is the same thing as they use two different servers. TIA
Does anyone know the answers to either of these, given that we are talking about an active/passive cluster using MSCS, and we use Groupwise for mail (don't ask!)?
1) How do I configure Agent Mail on the cluster under this setup?
2) How do I set up linked servers from this setup to other (non-clustered) SQL servers - I can set up the cluster virtual server as a linked server from the others OK, but the other way around doesn't work - perhaps not surprisingly, but is there a way around it?
I need some documentation on how to trouble shoot clustering SQL7EE. I have setup the cluster and looks like it is working but I missed somthing. When I test a failover by pulling the Network cable to the main network not the heartbeat network both boxes lock up. I can failover by powering down one box and using the MSCluster Admin. I am using NT40 6a on Dell PowerEdge 2400 and PowerValut 211s
Those of you who are using MS Clustering, what are some advantages vs. a third party product such as "Double-Take" ? If you have used "Doube-Take" I would be extremely interested in your thought of the product.
Is it relatively easy to setup and configure with and environment that's using all the standard products of BACKOFFICE (SQL Server 7.0 Standard Edition, NT 4.0 Standard Edition etc...)
Any hints, tips, etc... would be also GREATLY appreciated.
I have a question about database clustering. I am loking for the solution for the databse scalability, performance and zero downtime especially for MS SQL Server. As my understanding (correct if I am wrong), only Oracle provides 2 DB Servers (parallel server) or NT clustering for two sql servers. The drawback for these solution is only one server is working and another one is standing by. It is not efficent (which only 50%). Is any way that I could built the DB server farm which every DB server is working, if one failed, throw it away, rest of them still working; if I need more power, just add another db server box.How to solve the data sync problem ? Replication is not good for more than 4 or 5 db servers in the farm. Disk mirror is not good since if the server is down, there is no way to access the disks. DO you have any good idea ?
I am installing sqlserver 7.0 in cluster server. When I start with Installing the MSDTC and give the IP Address of the Virtual server, It is giving message:
IP Address is in use.
I couldn't able to continue the installation further
1. If I cluster 2 SQL servers in an active/active configuration and want to have a seperate disk array to house the data, do I need to have 2 disk arrays, one per server, or can I have one disk array?
2. When installing an application's database on the first(primary) sql server in an active/active configuration, do I need to install it on the second(secondary) server also? The second server will pick up the processes if the first fails.
For SQL 2000, what are the licensing requirements for a clustered environment? I thought you needed datacenter for the OS, is there a clustered version of sql server, or do you need 2 copies of enterprise edition. Also, if you cluster can you license sql cals for clients, or do you have to do by processor?
We are going to implement a SQL 2000 cluster in an active/passive setup. We are going to use multiple instances. What I am confused about is the naming of the virtual server and instances. In the microsoft documentation it states that all instance/virtual names must be unique across all nodes in the cluster. But the client always specifies the same virtual server name when connecting so how can the names be unique across all nodes??
I would have thought that if there was an instance created called inst1 on node A then during the installation that instance name would be replicated to the failover node B. When installing another instance on Node A do you have to specify a different virtual server and instance name on the failover node B??
