Cluster installed studio on only one node

  • After a clean install of SQL Server 2005 on the active node of a two node cluster I found that SQL Server management Studio was only on one of the nodes.

    Is this normal?

    SQL Server management Studio is on node a but not b. The cluster can failover to either node.

    Thanks

  • That is normal. The client tools only install on the machine you are installing from. If you want the client tools on the other node you can go to that node and just install the client toools.

  • Thanks

  • Reporting services will also not install on the other nodes.

    It is not a cluster compliant application. (Clusterable???)

  • So I should install reporting services on the passive node then?

  • Yes

  • Is there any Cluster check I can run before releasing the cluster to developers?

    It is a UAT cluster. (User acceptance test)
