Failed install on second node, failover cluster

  • OS: Server 2003 x64

    MEM: 32GB

    SQL: 2005, SP2

    MSCS, failover cluster

    During the installation of SQL Server on a failover cluster, the second node did not install the database engine/services for some reason. Now, if the cluster was to failover, SQL Server will not start because the Cluster Resource Group will not failover to that node. After investigation, the SQL Server Resource within the cluster does not see the second node as a possible owner. When I attempt to add it as a possible owner, it does not see it. Further, when I look at the services on the second node, SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) is not a listed service. Analysis Services, Reporting Services, Integration Services are all there; just not SQL Services.

    What would be the best approach to correcting this failed install on this node? :w00t:

  • - Check the installation log files for the reasons why it did no install on the second node !

    Only then you can fix it.
