Adding a new Virtual Server to a Clustered SQL Server -

I have a 2 part question about adding a new 'named' Virtual Server to an existing Clustered SQL Server 2000 install.
I have a 2 node Cluster (WIN2K advanced Server sp4) with a default instance to which I added a second Virtual SQL Server (named instance). After many problems, finally got the second Server installed. Now I have 2 SQL Server instances in the Cluster - from what I understand, you can have up to 16, each seperate installs with seperate Cluster resources.
For the Second Instance, I have specific instructions from the Applications vendor on how to install SQL Server to work with their APP and I need install SQL Server WITHOUT the Full Text Search component and WITH a specific Server Collation (Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual character set). I have done this on other standalone SQL Server installations for this APP and they have gone smooth
When installing the new Virtual 'named' instance in my Cluster, I Cannot DESELECT Full Text Search when I choose Custom install.. it does not appear as an option???
Also, I chose the "Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual character set" during the installation, but that is not the Server Collation that is installed...
I have already installed SP3 for SQL Server against the Virtual Server on this Cluster, as well as a HotFix... and Now I'm preparing to rerun the SQL Server installation to see if I can fix the 'Collation problem' .. but I'm not sure if this is the right course of action.
Does anyone know why I cannot 'deselect' Full text search component at install, and any ideas why it seemed to pick up the Server Collation from the existing install in the Cluster and did not use the one I specified at install??? |
