Choose another drive to install the program files". So, I can't go on to the next screen.p.s.: The drive C: exists on the both nodes.Specs: Windows 2K Advanced Server SP1; SQL Server 2K Enterprise Edition SP1.Would you please help me with this issue?Thank you,Eduardo Paes.(Brazil)" |

| The two nodes need to share the same drive (usually a networked drive). The 'C' refers to the physical hard drive on each individual PC. C on node 1 is not the same physical drive as C on node 2 (I assume). Clustering works because the Master database and other files are installed on the shared drive. When one server fails, the other has immediate access to the exact same database files, running only its executeables from it's own proprietary drive.http://www.sql-server-performance.com/sqlserver2000_clustering_install_part2.aspEdited by - kevin snow on 05/30/2002 10:09:28 |
