while installing hte SP2 on db services and analysis services on a cluster server, it failed. In the log found the below, Error Number : 11009 Error Description : No passive nodes were successfully patched Any idea what this error is and how to overcome it..?
May check this KBA KB 934749 that talks about getting a hotfix which may involve the support cost, but best to check with support. The other one which has been specified by a MVP that failing over the SQL Server instance to the new node and then removing nodes that are possible owners. Once the setup thought that it was running on a single node, the install worked, updating the SQL Server instance and files on the new node to the appropriate version that matched the other nodes.
The solution to the issue I had with SP3 is that you need to PAUSE the other cluster node then everything runs sweet.
really it was very helpful...i wasted my time around 3 hours....and finally fixed it with your answer.....thx alot...keep going.
