I noticed in installing a SQL2005 failover cluster instance,that it is not necessary to install on both servers. Installing on the primary node automagically installs to the secondary node. Does this constitute a COMPLETE install? It all seems to work. BUT this process does not intall client pieces (SSMS, for instance) on the secondary node. If you want that stuff there, do you then go to that box and just do a client install?

I want to install service pack 3 to my SQL Server 2012 Enterprise running on windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise fail over cluster, I read about the SP installation in technet, its mentioned that the passive node should be patched first and to do this the passive node should be removed from the cluster, I need to know whether I should completely remove the node from windows cluster or remove the node by using SQL Server installer and install the service pack and then add it back to the cluster, Can I do this by pausing the node in cluster and perform the service pack installation ?

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://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=913815
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?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

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:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06

1. Once fail over to secondary replica, what will happen to connected session in primary node? can the session fail over to secondary seamlessly or need to re-login. what happen committed transactions which has not write to disk.
2. Assume I have always on cluster with three nodes, if primary fails, how second node make write/ read mode.
3. after fail over done to 2nd secondary node what mode in production(readonly or read write).
4. how to rollback to production primary ,will change data in secondary will get updated in primary.

Hi,
We have configured two SQL Server 2005 in a cluster (without Witness).
We have severals ASP (using ADO) that are connecting to SQL Server 2005 with SQL Native Client in a DSNLess connection String :
driver={SQL Native Client}; server=MAINMAIN; Failover Partner=BCKUPBCKUP; uid=log;pwd=pwd;database=MyBase
When using this connection string, the connection to MAIN is alrigth, but when we simulate a unavailability situation on "MyBase" or on the entire MAIN instance, the new connection are joining the MAIN and not the BCKUP SQL Server.
We tryed several Connection Strings including Failover_Partner, Initliag Catalog instead of database... but no one succed in joining the BCKUP SQL Server.
I precise that the DNS on the PC that connect to SQL server is configured and both MAIN and BCKUP are resolved in command line or in explorer.
Is there an other driver that must be used, or is there an other parameter to set in the connection string ?
Regards.

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.
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /allinstances /quiet.
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.

Curious on how this will work.. if i install sql 2005 standard edition on one virtual server.. to a fixed disk (actually 2 fixed disks.. one for C, one for D).. then install another 2005 standard edition on another virtual server.. do i just rerun the setup and suddenly the failover cluster option will NOT be greyed out?
Can anyone comment on this?
Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I am intsalling SQL 2005 in an activepassive cluster. The OS is Windows 2003 with SP1. Everything installs OK but the sql server service cannot start afterwards. There are many access errors in the Security Event log - see example below - and numerous "SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. " errors in both the SQL and Application event logs. I have tried installing SQL in both mixed mode and under Windows Authentication and get the same errors. I can install SQL 2005 outside of the cluster on both nodes. Other items of note: This was a SQL 2000 cluster. I uninstalled SQL 2K, the virtual name was changed (IP remained the same) and the DNS entry was updated to reflect the new name. Early in the installation process - 3 or 4 days ago - I got a few errors about the Server Principal Name had to be updated but when I do a setspn -l the both nodes are listed and the entries look fine, though there are no entries for the sql service (MSSQLSvc). Not sure if there should be entries for the virtual name, but there aren't any for either the old or new name. Does the new virtual name need to be added to AD? Here is the security error - Event ID is 560 and it looks like there's a problem with Remote Access and is generated when trying to access either node:
Category: Object Access
Type: Failure Audit
Event_ID: 560

One other informational message that may be of use - looks like there's a problem with dll's for remote access, though this isn't pertaining to SQL:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( srmservice ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: srmservice error: 0, Started the agent (srmagent.exe)..
I´ve been reading that SQL Server 2012 Always On is dependent on having a Windows Failover Cluster setup. Is that correct ?

Hi,
A few months ago, I was trying to install SQL Server 2005 SP2 on a cluster (Active-Active), the Cluster has 3 instances, 2 lives in one node and the other one in the other node. When I try to make the deployment an error message appear, I do not have the error right now but it€™s something like €œCould not connect to the passive node, installation failed€?. The worst part of the error was all instances shut down and I couldn€™t bring on line and I have to reinstall all instances. I need to install SP2 but I€™m a little afraid fail again. Do you know the best way to deploy the SP2 on a cluster? Maybe move all instances in one node before install SP2? Can you help me with your comments. Do you think I have problems with the windows cluster?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,
We have been experiencing issues with SQL Server 2005 SP2 upgrade on cluster servers.
After running the setup, it gives failure message for Database services.
Installing SP2 on 64bit cluster server we get error regarding "passive node not patched properly or run the setup from passive node". However, select serverproperty(€˜productlevel€™) returns the output as "SP2". On more digging we found from SQL Server Error log, that the resourcedb of that server is of level 9.0.0.3199
€œThe resource database build version is 9.00.1399. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.€?
However if we do the SQL Server 2005 SP2 upgrade on standalone machines with the same software repository, it upgrades successfully and also resourcedb upgraded to 3042 version. So if we look at the errorlog of a standalone machine it gives following message.
"The resource database build version is 9.00.3042. This is an informational message only. No user action is required."
I again reiterate that, this is the issue we have faced on 64bit SQL Server 2005 SP2 upgrade only on cluster SQL Servers, however on standalone machine it works fine and 32bit SP2 installation works fine.
Please let us know the solution for this.
regards

Hi Everyone,
I have problem when installing SQL 2005 Enterprise to my Windows 2003 R2 cluster. I install the SQL instance on the first node in my cluster, it analyses the cluster and comes up with no errors or warnings, i answer all the installation questions and proceed with the installation. When installing the SQL engine I see the status changing as the instance is started and then stopped again etc, finally the status changes to "removing backup files" when it get an error that reports:
"The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Completing Commit. The error is: The specified module could not be found."
Unfortunately there isnt any more information to go on. Any help would be appreciated.
When the setup program tries to start the database service (the last step of installation), it indicates an error 29503.
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The error is (17058)
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi I just set up a new cluster and everything was working. Now when I try to test failovers like unplug the public network card etc...
The cluster group fails over correctly but my data and log array's dont failover.
So I unplug the network cable from node 1 (active) the cluster group with the IP, name, and Quorum disk fails over to node 2 but the other groups sql data and sql log stay on node1 and dont failover.
Any ideas?
TIA
