Re: MSI unable to start the SQL instance service

Geoff,
The configuration is an Active-Active-Active one. Hence the SQL service will
run on each node.

The SQL service exists on all three nodes, but is only supposed to run on
one node at a time and then only under the control and direction of the
Cluster Service. You do not have to cycle the service to determine if it is
running, you can use the cluster.exe application or the WMI application
interface to determine if aclustered instance is running.

Hi,
I am deploying a SQL on a three node active cluster setup. Each node will
have a SQL instance running in the cluster virtual server context. This is
the baseline setup required for deploying application databases on the
three
SQL instances. Application databases are deployed using an MSI which
creates
the database, roles, accounts etc.

The problem that I am facing is that when the Application Database MSI
executes, it will first recycle the SQL instance service to ensure that it
is
up and running. At that point it is successfully able to stop the service
but
fails to start the service giving the below error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11920
Date: 10/12/2006
Time: 2:50:05 PM
User: myDomain\sql_account
Computer: SQLSERVER01
Description:
Product: Application Database -- Error 1920. Service 'MSSQL$\VS01'
(MSSQL$\VS01) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges
to
start system services.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

The SQL service account has all the permissions on the machine. It is a
domain admin account with local admin privileges. It also has SystemAdmin
role on the SQL instance.

Can anyone tell me if there are any permissions that are missed that could
cause the above error?
Is there a security setting that I can check to validate permissions?

Thanks,
Mehul
