I am trying to install SQL 2000 on a Cluster Server Node
1. MS - Support informed me that I should install this as
a Virtual Server. However, Virtual server is grayed
out. This is a SQL 2000 Standard edition. I do have SLQ
Developer Edition. Does the Version matter here?

I understand their is a problem with SP2 and SP3. Do I
need to just do a local install and then upgrade to
Service Pack 3 and then re-install or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The OS needs to be 2000 Advanced server with clustering already installed or
2003 Enterprise Edition with clustering already install. SQL in both cases
has to be Enterprise Edition. Nothing else will work.

Nope, install after you have clustering running with Enterprise Edition and
then apply service pack 3a. The install and service pack install will go to
all nodes of the cluster.

What about the Developers Edition? I have one of these
that I am not using. Will it work on the Clusters?

Does this qualify?

Its not supported, so I have never tried it.

SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition supports ALL the features of the Enterprise Edition that allow developers to write and test applications that can use the features. So,
you can use it.

NOTE: The Developer Edition is licensed for use ONLY as a development and test system, NOT a production server.

Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2000

Great, that is what I thought. I don't see the Developer Edition on the link
you posted though. Am I right in thinking that its not supported for
Clustering, expect for testing and development.

In 800 X 600 you can't see the developer Edition column and there is no left
and right scroll bar. DOH! I expanded the screen and answered my own
question. Poor interface on that page
