Hi
Adding or Removing a Cluster Node from the Virtual Server Definition
Another new feature of SQL Server 2000 failover clustering is the ability to add or remove a cluster node from a SQL Server virtual server definition. Adding nodes to the existing SQL Server virtual server definition performs all the necessary operations on the new nodes (including installing binaries, system components, and creating services) and performs the necessary modifications to the cluster configuration.
To add or remove a node
1.
Insert the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition compact disc in your CD-ROM drive. Select Install SQL Server 2000 Components.
2.
Click Install SQL Server 2000 Components, click Install Database Server, and then click Next.
3.
On the Computer Name dialog box, select Virtual Server, and enter the name of an existing clustered instance of SQL Server 2000.
4.
On the Installation Selection dialog box, select Advanced options, and then click Next.
5.
On the Advanced Options dialog box, select Maintain a Virtual Server for Failover Clustering, and then click Next.
6.
On the Failover Clustering dialog box, click Next.
7.
On the Cluster Management dialog box, select the appropriate nodes to add or remove from the cluster, and then click Next when you are finished
8.
On the Remote Information dialog box, enter the user name and password for the domain administrator account used for the clustered instance of SQL Server 2000, and then click Next.
9.
When the process is complete, click Finish.
