Hi Todd - thanks for the tip!

I was able to get the startup parameters in an also connect without any issues...

I got this to work by using these steps exactly:

1)From Cluster Administrator: stop the cluster service for the failover node

2)From Cluster Administrator: take the SQL Server resource offline

3)From SQL Server Configuration Manager: add the startup parameters -c;-m;-T3608

4)From Cluster Administraror: bring the SQL Server resource online again

This was the same as what is listed above except pausing the node didn't work...I had to completely stop the failover node...now I feel like kicking myself! :hehe:

Regards,

John
