I cannot diasbale the VIA protocol and get the primary SQL instance to start
in my Virtual Cluster the Attributes of the Server configuration is as follow:
VMWare: Cluster configuration
OS: WServer2003R2 SP2
SQL2005 SP3
2 virtual servers
2 SQL Virtual Instances installed
The following errors are generated in the log:

Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information
about possible related problems.

Troubleshooting:
Attempted disabling VIA protocol using SQL Server Config MGR.
Restarted Services
effect continues to reenable the VIA protocol and the primary SQL instance
will not start.
Failover continues to operate and secondary SQL instance is operational.
Can someone provide a solution to my SQL Virtual Cluster environment.
