Re: Setup Failed to Perform Req'd operations on CLuster Nodes

You are referring to a CLUSTER.EXE command option. I am referring to the
SQL installer procedure that removes node 2 from the SQL installation
information store. Even if you evict node 2, SQL still thinks it is is a
valid node for the SQL instance. You have to run the SQL installer on node
1 and remove node 2. This is all detailed in BOL under Maintaining a
Failover Cluster | Removing a node from an existing Failover cluster. Until
this is done, you cannot apply a service pack or add the node back to the
SQL virtual server. SQL thinks the node still exists and tries to update
the local binaries, even ifthe node has been evicted from the cluster.
