Default Upgrade from 2k to 2k3 Cluster corrupted - 10-23-2007 , 03:30 PM






We have a 2 Node SQL Cluster that I was trying to upgrade to win2k3 from
win2k. In the process the cluster got completely corrupted. I followed some
documentation online and did:

Cluster Node <name> /ForceCleanup

Now I don't even see HKLM/Cluster
When I try to import 'HKLM/Cluster' from the other working node I get this
message 'Cannot Create Key: Error writing to Registry'

I'm stuck please help.

Thanks in advance.

The /ForceCleanup command does a forcible delete of the cluster and all
cluster resources even if the cluster cannot be started.
