add SQL Server Full Text Search service on cluster.

  • Hi

    I have SQL Server 2005 cluster on Windows Server 2003. I configured SQL Server 2005 cluster. Thereafter i deleted SQL Server Full Text Search service from cluster. Now I dont know how to add it back on cluster. Please suggest me what to do ? I deleted it just for R & D purpose. Also this service is running fine on Node1.

    Thanks in advance. 🙂

  • Does the service exist in cluster admin on node1?

  • No, it does not. Is locally running on Node1. I can see it running in Services.msc.

  • You can make use of command prompt for it:

    start /wait Path of setup.exe /qb VS=Virtual Server name INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER ADDLOCAL=SQL_FullText GROUP=Fulltextgroupname IP='IP Address' ADMINPASSWORD='Password' SAPWD='SAPassword' INSTALLSQLDIR='directory path' INSTALLSQLDATADIR='Data Folder path' SQLREPORTING=1

    You will have to stop the cluster and create a cluster resource called SQL SERVER Full Text and add it to primary node. Make sure SQL SERVER Full Text Service is dependent on SQL Server Physical disk on which you have MSSQL installed.
