Second Node Setup Problem |
|
|
I'm having trouble setting up a second node on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
The first node works fine, until I run the cluster setup, which goes fine
until "Configuring Cluster Service.... and hangs with Cluster Service in
"starting" state"
The first node runs SQL 2000 EE (member server), and the second node is a
clean install of 2000 AS on identical hardware:
The hardware is:
SQL1 (node1)
External NIC, 10.0.0.4, 255.255.0.0, 10.0.0.254, DNS Entries...
Internal NIC, 192.168.0.10, 255.255.255.0, No GW, No DNS, No NetBIOS
SQL2 (node2)
External NIC, 10.0.0.5, 255.255.0.0, 10.0.0.254, DNS Entries...
Internal NIC, 192.168.0.11, 255.255.255.0, No GW, No DNS, No NetBIOS
External NICs are connected to a managed ethernet switch, internal NICs are
connected via cross-over cable.
Both nodes connect to an external Shared SCSI Array, although I haven't been
able to get node2's cluster service to start. Is there something I'd doing
fundamentally wrong? Should the first node be offline when I run the setup
on node2?
When the cluster service startup hangs on node 2, service on node1 hum along
fine, but the console gets frozen and requires a hard reset (not good). I
hate being ignorant, and would love to hire someone I can trust to get this
working correctly.

Patrick,
ClCfgSrv.log from %windir%\system32\logfiles\cluster should be a good place
to start troubleshooting the issue. Errors logged towards the end of this
log file should be able to give us some clue as to what is going wrong.
Other log file to check is cluster.log from %windir%\cluster. Also errors
from the system event log might help as well.
First node has to be up with cluster service running when you run the setup
on second node.
Hope this helps.
