Hi All!

While installing SQL2000 on Windows 2003 Cluster, the setup freezes right after the virtual IP is specified. Last line sqlstp.log shows


Begin Action : DialogShowSdDiskGroups


So everything looks pretty similar to the symptoms, described in the KB article 293788. The fix, suggested in the article, is to make sure that disk names are different from the cluster resource group names.

Unfortunately, the cluster uses Veritas Volume Manager instead of the regular Windows Disk Manager, so I can not even add individual physical disks to the cluster resource groups -- I have to add Logical Volume Manager Groups instead.
So I am not sure how to apply the fix here: I did make sure that the LVM Group names are different from the name of the cluster resource group, but that does not seem to help.

I have not used Veritas Volume Manager in the past, so I want to see if anyone here has used it, and if it has to be configured a certain way in order to allow SQL Server setup to properly enumerate available shared storage disks.
