Does anyone know why I am not able to install SQL2000 Enterprise on ACTIVE-->ACTIVE cluster node on win2003. I'm able to install fine on the first node, but when I go to install it on second node to make it active-->active, I am unable to do so. The logs don't show me much and tried everything possible like removing terminal service, etc... Still a no go.

thanks,

Jay

To use SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003, you must also install service pack 3a for SQL Server. The installation of SQL Server 2000 will say that you can't use it on Windows 2003, but it still lets you get past that error and install it. After installing it, you immediately install sp3a which is what allows SQL Server 2000 to function on Win2k3.

So what error are you getting?

Are you running it remotely or unattended? If so, I would try it from the console.

Just one more thought I had and I may be doing this wrong. When I installed SQL on my first node, I chose the program files to go on C: drive which is not a shared drive (not in cluster), and my Data files to go on E: drive which is a shared drive(in cluster) which can failover to my second node. Do you think this is a problem.

I mean should I be installing both program and data files on the same drive and should that be on a clusterd drive..

Thanks,

Jay

The program files are installed locally to each machine, data files (master db etc) need to go on a shared cluster drive.

Moo. :)

No it's not a problem as mr mist mentioned. But I wouldn't install applications on C. C should be reserved for the OS. We have another local drive, E for applications. Then we've got SAN drives, F, G, and H on each of the database servers. F for MDFs, G for LDFs, and H for backups.

OK, After searching through so many articles on Microsoft site, I came across one which helped me install it. I basically had to stop all the unneccessary services on all my nodes in order for me to install SQL2000 instances on Win2003 cluster enviorment..Thanks for all the feedback..
