SQL2005 sp3 adding a node fails :-(

  • Hi

    I currently have an active\active 2 node sql2000 and sql2005 enterprise setup.

    I need to add extra clusters (as part of a migration) and I've managed to add the new nodes to the windows cluster and the SQL2000 cluster.

    Unfortunately I've hit a problem with SQL2005.

    When I try and add a node to the cluster I get the following error message during the System configuration check:

    There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard.

    Check Core(local).log I can see the error

    oaded DLL:C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\sqlsval.dll Version:2005.90.4035.0

    Error: Action "InvokeSqlSetupDllAction" threw an exception during execution. Error information reported during run:

    Failed to find a cluster group that owned shared disk: \:

    WinException : 2

    Error Code: 0x80070002 (2)

    This seems to indicate there's something hiding in the registry somewhere pretending to be a shared drive without assignment.

    No errors in the SCC log that I can see, last entry is

    Processing article FeatureDataFile

    Scc Error: 50038 (0xc376)

    Error code: 1626 (0x65a)

    SccPerformer closed.

    No errors in the event log.

    Any help gratefully appreciated 😀

  • okay found that the node had to have all the disks in the cluster (not just its group/VM)
