SQL 2005 on a Win 2008 one-node cluster - 12-16-2008 , 07:52 AM

Hello everybody,

I have a one-node Windows 2008 cluster and I want to install SQL 2005
(cluster). the point is that I have to wait for a month to receive the
second node so my idea is to start with one node and then add the second one
as soon as I get it.

Is there any problem or concern if I do this or is better to wait until
having both nodes ?

Regards
Javier

Make sure you leave the patch level exactly at a SP. If you take the patch
to a hotfix level, the process of adding a node and patching it gets really
complex.
