clustering setup

    We're installing sql on a 2 node cluster. 

    We are now trying to instal sql 2000 and when we enter the computer name "of a new or existing Virtual sql server to manage" we get "the name you entered already exists on the network".  Our Admins had created a virtual server with the name we want to use.  Does the sql install create this server?

    this name gets published through the cluster service. So the name will get published at sql-instance-install time.

    BOL has more regarding "install a cluster"

    Sam, ithink  you are entering the Machine name. the name to be entered should be the virtual server name for the windows cluster that you have created already.

    The names should be unique and informative. The computer name for the virtual server name is not correct choice

    As I recall, the installer wants to create the name in either WINS or DNS or both.  If someone has already created the name records, the installer will complain.

    I remember, a very long time ago, having to go in and remove the names from DNS, and allow the installer to do the DNS updates.

    I'm not 100% sure I remember this correctly, but I think this may be your problem.

    Yes, the installer did want to create the entry in the dns.  Got it up and running.  Thanks for the help.
