Active Active 2nd instance setup woes

Hi, We installed our cluster a few months back and setup the first SQL instance fine and well. We created the first instance as Named Instance (not default as seems to be most common menthod) SQLVS1SQL2005INST1. We also upgraded this SQL instance to SP2. We also created our second instance as on second virtual server SQLVS2SQL2005INST2 with its own disk arrays. Now to install our second SQL instance, we logged onto the second physical node and ran through the SQL installation wizard.. Only the WS components, books online, devt tools were installed on this node, so we selected all other components except analysis services. At the Setup Progress page a couple of ‘products’ failed (think from memory were ’SQL Server Database Services’ and ’reporting services'). We couldn’t progress any further with installation so used add/remove programs to remove the second instance. On our second attempt to setup we had ’Pending Reboot Requirement (Error)' so rebooted this 2nd node. This seems to have made our disk arrays for the 2nd node disappear from cluster, and also this node is unable to see the Quorum or node1 disk arrays now either <img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-6.gif’ alt=’

‘ /> Does anybody have any ideas as to where we may have gone wrong or best way to remedy problems?

Alight – we found the reason the Quorum drives etc were appearing was we had to restart the 1st node as well <img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-1.gif’ alt=’

The Edition Change Check warning we got during the prerequisite check was ‘to change and exisitn ginstance of MS SQL server 2005 to a different edition of SQL server 2005, you must run SQL server 2005 setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter Looking this up on google it seems others who ran with the parameter didn’t resolve their problem [<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-6.gif’ alt=’

This is the default behavior of SQL Server 2005. You can change this by using the Surface Area Configuration tool. So check whether it has been changed there in addition to relevant protocols are enabled.

Thanks for the reply Satya. We managed to get it up and running… Think the main thing holding us back was we were attempting the install with a ‘Cluster’ account we made which had all the SQL Admins grou ppermissions. It didn’t have Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins permissions and when we tried the install with an ac**** with both these group memberships it worked [<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-2.gif’ alt=’
