Hi all,

Hopefully someone can sort this for me, i'm going nuts!

I'm trying to install SQL 2000 cluster with two nodes on Windows 2003 R2. This is the error message in the sqlstp.log file:

15:12:44 Setup is performing required operations on cluster nodes. This may take a few minutes...
15:12:44 C:\DOCUME~1\CB0907~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\1\SqlSetup\Bin\remsetup.exe C:\WINDOWS\remsetup.ini
15:42:44 Process Exit Code: (1460) This operation returned because the timeout period expired.


A timeout of 30minutes keeps occurring and failing the install with the message:

"Setup failed to perform required operations on the cluster nodes"

I'm installing from the c:\ on Node A which is fully shared out. I've added the sql cluster account to the local administrators on both machines, as well as the account i'm using to install. I've tried installing the virtual server using just one Node and then adding the second later but the same problem happens, help!

Thanks..

Did you check installation log file? Move your temp directory out of profile then try again.

you can't install on a local drive... it should be a shared drive
and you cannot fully share c because the OS for the machine is on it

Are you using SCSI solution or 'normal' SAN?

I believe cblatchford means installation files are on c:\.

Yeah that's correct; resolved the issue now, was to do with a service account!!

..also, for some reason mapping out the install directory to an actual drive rather than just using a share seemed to work (after I had logged on using the SQL Server service account for the install, AND used ILO to install instead of TS..) ;0/
