Cluster prepared instance failed

  • Hi

    I am trying to Install SQL 2008 R2 and I get an error

    Rule "Cluster prepared instance" failed and I cant install it.

    Please can any one help me.

  • I checked the log file it says

    Checks if there is at least one cluster prepared instance for the instance that is being clustered.

    There is no cluster-prepared SQL Server instance that can be clustered.

    But there is cluster added and MSDTC is active

  • paste the error log file and clustered validation file

  • are you sure this is your cluster machine?

    The error from SQL seems like saying the machine is not the cluster aware.

    In start-Run-- cluadmin, are you able to see the groups and resource.

  • Which Installation option have you clicked on the setup of SQL SERVER 2008 R2 ?

    have you defined qurum drive in cluster ?

    MSDTC and Qurum drive must be define before installation of cluster instance

    Yes, this is the Cluster Server.. just a hostory on this one..

    previously we had win 2008 with SQL 2008 Installed on this cluster.

    I went and removed the cluster feature and upgraded the Win 2008 to win 2008 R2 and then I added the Cluster feature back and started to Install SQL 2008 R2.

    THe MSDTC i haved added now but the Qurum is active and running, I thought MSDTC can be installed later may be i am wrong

  • Hi Guys

    I managed to Install SQL by running the validation report again only by selecting few options and that made me to by pass the verification test

    Thanks gusy for your time
