SQL 2008 Cluster Install Errors :KB953748

  • Artikel

In case you are getting cluster validation errors while installing SQL 2008 on Windows Cluster and you see the following message

 

Please follow these directions to troubleshoot the problem:

1) Download Procmon from sysinternals https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645

2) Setup filters in Procmon to include processname as "setup100.exe"

 3) Now,Go to the installation screen and Click on "Re Run" Validation

4) You see that the installation failed with the same message. That's fine.

5) Now, go to your procmon window and search for the word "Validation Data for Node Set".

6) Copy filename of the XML file present in that record which you got. (Big GUID value)

6) Compare this filename with the  filename present in [\\servername\admin$\cluster\reports\](file://\\servername\admin$\cluster\reports\) or sometimes C:\Windows\cluster\reports

7) If the filenames are different, Modify the filename in the reports folder with the filename you got from procmon. Take a backup of the original file as a precaution before the rename process.

8) Peform this on all the nodes of the cluster where you want to install SQL.

9) Now click on Re Run Validation button on the Installation screen and you should be good to go ahead with the install.

 

Conclusion: Your setup is looking for a different validation file than the one which is actually present.Hence, We are modifying the validation filename so that the setup can continue to run.

 Happy Installation!

 

Thank you

    I have almost similar problem except that - my validation is not generating Validation Data For Node Set file at all under reports - what do you think might be the cause? How to resolve this? Thanks!!
