SQL 2000 installation on a W2K cluster server

[GregJos]

Hi,

I am trying to install SQL2000 Enterprise on a W2K Cluster server, but the setup always fails.
I am following the MS documentation without success.
Does someone know the correct procedure to install SQL2K on a W2K Cluster?

Greg,
I have been reading on clustering since morning. Have you looked at "Creating a Failover Cluster" in the SQL 2K BOL?

Which MS documentation are you using? I followed their directions and installed SQL Server 2000 Advanced Server on my cluster just fine.

Oh, also which SQL Server 2000 are you using? Only Enterprise Edition can be clustered (to my best knowledge).

Ignore my question about version...I missed you posting that you're using the Enterprise version.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the response.
Yes, I am using the correct software from MS and yes I know everything about clustering.
My problem is that I am used to install cluster on HP platform and now I have to install it on IBM. And the real problem is that during the setup of SQL, when SQL setup is trying to bring the new SQL virtual resources online, it fails. Then everything is rolled-back.

Any idea?
