SQL Server 2005 installation failed in Clustered environment

  • Hi,

    I'm installing SQL Server 2005 x64 developer edition in newly build Cluster. We have node1 & node2

    I have logged in Node1 and started installing SQL Server 2005. In the middle of the installation, I'm getting the below popup

    All resources did not come online and therefore you need to manually set the cluster restart

    I clicked OK and the installation is completed successfully. But the SQL Service is not coming online in Cluster Administrator on node1. But the SQL Service is able to come online if I move the SQL group to node2.

    After analyzing the error log & event viewer, I have noticed the below error:

    [sqsrvres] ODBC sqldriverconnect failed

    I used to have working SQL Server instances on these nodes. But I tried to install SQL Server 2008 and that installation failed. Then I had uninstalled all the instances and started installing again but this time I'm getting this strange error.

    Please advice me how to resolve this issue.

    thanks

  • I'm installing SQL Server 2005 x64 developer edition in newly build Cluster

    You then say that previously you had other instances of SQL installed, you then tried a SQL 2008 install, then you uninstalled all your SQL instances. You are NOT using a newly built cluster, you are using a server that has been badly messed up.

    There may be a problem with the SQL install that can be worked round to get your install complete, but my recommendation is to re-install Windows and start your install with a newly built Cluster. This would mean that any problems you get are due to your current install, and not to what may have happened in the past.

    BTW, it is worthwhile to check that the AD computer entries for your nodes and cluster, and the DNS entries for your nodes and cluster, are removed before you start rebuilding. Also make sure that all shared disk resources and whatever quorum resource you use are cleared out before you start rebuilding.

    If you do all of this and still have a problem, then please post again.
