Can I install SQL failover on a single node WSFC cluster?
-
For depressing reasons, I'm installing 2012.
Don't ask. For some other reasons I've had to create a single node WSFC cluster (& will add a node later). I want to install SQL FCI (not standalone) but I'm struggling. It could be lots of things, group policy, permissions ... but ...
Q 1 - is it even possible to do?
Thank you!

Yes it is possible to install a SQL FCI on a single node WSFC.
Can you detail what is failing, may give more to go on.

As Ant says, this is definitely possible. The process is the same as installing yhe first SQL node on a multi-server cluster.
What problems are you getting?

Thank you guys, I forgot to get back to you. I had all sorts of stuff going on unrelated to SQL - gpos, permissions, etc. But I appreciate the reply. When you work on your own you just need a sanity check sometimes that you're not being a complete div.
