Hi, I am trying to setup SQL 2000 Ent. on 2 node Windows
2003 Cluster in Active/Passive mode. The setup hangs at
the point where it needs to display the disk selection
dialog box. Below is an extract from the sqlstp.log file;
************************************************** ********
14:49:27 Begin Action ShowDialogsHlpr: 0x4000
14:49:27 Begin Action: DialogShowSdVirtualServer
14:49:39 ShowDlgVirtualServer returned: 0
14:49:39 Ipaddress = 10.1.101.191,255.255.255.0,Internal

14:49:39 begin ShowDialogsUpdateMask
14:49:39 nFullMask = 0x1bf7c037, nCurrent = 0x4000,
nDirection = 1
14:49:39 Updated Dialog Mask: 0x1bf7c037, Disable Back =
0x1

14:49:39 End Action ShowDialogsHlpr
14:49:39 ShowDialogsGetDialog returned:
nCurrent=0x8000,index=15
14:49:39 Begin Action ShowDialogsHlpr: 0x8000
14:49:39 Begin Action : DialogShowSdDiskGroups

The KB article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;en-us;293788 explains the issue in reference to
resource name and resource group name for the shared
disk. But the names I am using are completely differnet,
so that can not be an issue. I am able to failover the
cluster groups to any of the nodes and able to access the
shared disks and read/write files/folders.

Please help!!!!

Hello,
Are you using Terminal Services client or are performing setup at the
console itself. Try to peform the installation at the console itself. If
you have to use Terminal Services Client, then log out of the session for
both the nodes, start new sessions and try again. Once you establish a
session, do not failover the groups.

Also, are you using dynamic disks?
