Installing SQL 2000 act/ac cluster on Win2003

  • I am trying to install SQL 2000 Ent SP3 (i.e. with sp3 already applied to installation files) on a Win2k3 cluster.

    I have checked both local and domain privileges and they are good. SQLSErvice and SQLAgent service run under domain account that is in Local Admin Group.

    This account also was granted "Log on as Service: and "Act as Part of OS" rights.

    And I keep getting the following error during install...

    An error occurred while creating virtual server resources for

    clustering: "Cluster specific registry entries couldn't be written."

    Does anybody have any ideas?

    The remote registry service runs on both nodes with default configuration: under NT AUTHORITY\LocalService and starts automatically.

    I can insall a single node virtual SQL Server 2000. But when I try

    to add second node to it or when I try to do 2-node installtion

    as described above I've got the error.

    The last portion of sqlclstr.log is in both cases

    I also have the following errors in the Event Logs (they happened

    before SQL installation and are due to running Win2003 in Win2K domain).

    They seem to be not relevant to SQL:

  • Could you look at the first node to confirm that it's listening on TCP/IP in the SQL Server error log? Also, you're prompted early on for an admin account on both nodes. What account are you using for that?

  • Yes, SQL Server is configured to use TCP/IP as I see from Server Network Utility. And in SQL server logs on both machines I can see corresponding lines:

    SQL server listening on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX

    SQL server listening on YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY:YYYY

    As for accounts used, W3K cluster is installed using one domain account that is a memeber od local Admins group on each node. For SQL installation the second domain account is used. It is member of Domain Admins and correspondingly member of local Admin on each node. SQLSErvice and SQLAgent run under this account.

    I am logged in as the latter user and enter this account and password during installation/when adding additional node.

    Actually I also tried to use first account but it does not make the difference.
