I just setup an Active/Passive cluster using Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008, and the LiteSpeed install seemed to go as expected until it tried to push the MSI to the second Node and gave the message 'Unable to configure Node: [node name]'. I clicked OK then Next and it just tried it again with the same warning and yet again looping (OK, Next, OK, Next, etc). I finally just clicked Cancel where it gave the message saying Canceled Instance Configuration and that's it. Is there anything it missed? The Quest software appears to have been installed on the second node, so I know that part worked as expected, but what configuratino did it miss? This is a test cluster so I might fail over just to see what it does, but given I'm testing with the hope of installing this on our Production cluster later this week I'd like to know for sure what this means or how to avoid it.
Any thoughts?
Also note our Failover cluster has three nodes, but I only have SQL installed on two. The one it failed on is the Passive SQL Node, and the software appears to ahve installed fine on the third node which isn't setup with SQL. I'm not sure if that matters, but FYI if it does.
Thanks
