Hi.
Can you help me with moving from old hardware to new. I have 2 node A/A SQL
cluster.
node 1 - win 2003 x64 SP2 Ent. Ed., SQL 2005 SP2 Standard, default instance
node 2 - win 2003 x64 SP2 Ent. Ed, SQL 2005 SP2 Standard, named instance
node 3 - win 2003 x64 SP2 Ent. Ed, SQL 2005 SP2 Standard
node 4 - win 2003 x64 SP2 Ent. Ed, SQL 2005 SP2 Standard
I want to replace old hardware so I joined third node and fourth to existing
cluster. I have installed workstation components. Then I have succesfully
changed virtual server and removed first instance from node one. After
reboot of node 1 I went to change virtual server and start to add it to
fresh new node 3, but I cant get past remote account security. I'm using
domain admin account or account under wich is running sql server service or
cluster service - I'm stuck and unable to continue with setup.

Can you help me, please.

Best regards, Robert

What error message do you get Rob?

This is my error
---------
SQL Server 2005 Setup requires administrator permission on every cluster
node. To continue, update permission for the account currenty running Setup,
or log in with an account that has administrator permissions on every cluster
node, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
----------

I'm using admin account and I can log in on every node with this account.
But setup wont continue.

Do you have any suggestion?

Hmm that is a strange error; did you try using the SA account when doing the
setup?

I am confused about the setups? WHen you say you changed the virtual
server? What did you mean?

You shouldn't have to remove any instances to add new new node; if you go to
add/remove programs to manage the SQL Install you should be able to add any
available node to the SQL Instance you altered.
