Re: Unable to Apply SP4 to SQL 2000 Cluster (new Node)

I think you had an additional post, which I responded to, but you had some
things here that concern me as well.

First, you are installing SS2K on a Win2K3 SP1 machine. SP3 will be
required. Moreover, SP1 security enhancements disable TCP until after you
apply SP3.

Specifically, items 5 and 6 below are unnecessary because item 2 already
deployed the RTM binaries.

The sequence is:

1. Add new node to cluster.
2. Install RTM SS2K and designate the node membership.
3. Create Named Pipe aliases on each member node for the Named Instance you
are managing.
4. Install SS2K SP3 from the active node.
5. Install SS2K SP4 from the active node.
6. Install at least SP4 HF2040, but would be highly recommended that you
apply SP4 HF2187.

Nevertheless, from your other post, it appears that you still have not
gotten your shared volumes configured correctly first. This is a
prerequisite.

Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas

O/S: Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1
SQL Server 2000 EE (32 bit)

I had a three-node A/A/P cluster.

This weekend, I added a fourth node and a third active instance (A/A/A/P).
The installation process went smoothly:

1. Add new node to cluster
2. Install SQL 2000 (RTM) (new named instance)
3. Install SQL 2000 (SP4)
4. Install SQL 2000 (hf 2040)
5. Install SQL 2000 binaries on newly added node for Instance 1
6. Install SQL 2000 binaries on newly added node for Instance 2

The problem came when I tried to apply SP4 on the new node for Instances 1
and 2. I keep getting the following error:

"All cluster disks available to this virtual server are owned by other
nodes."

It comes right after I type in the name of the Virtual Server to be
maintained. I am outside the maintenance window now, so I can't run SP4
from
the instance that "owns" the resources. I read through the installation
guide a couple of times, and I've searched a fair amount on the boards. I
see where other people have come across a different error (See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=905286), but I've never seen anyone
with
this particular error.

I have another three-node cluster in the test environment and when I added
the thrid node for that cluster in, things went just fine.

I'd be grateful for any thoughts and/or suggestions.

Here is the tail end of the sqlsp.log file:
