Re: Stuck at Cluster Network Configuration Wizard

You need another IP address on the same subnet. This becomes the virtual IP of the clustered SQL Instance. You only need one for the public side.

Geoff,

I am having the identical issue. All of my nics are statically assigned.

SQL setup can see the nics (they are listed on this screen under 'Specify
Network settings for this failover cluster). If I enter any of the ip's of
the prod nic or heartbeat nic -- it says "the address is already in use"
specify another. I am uncertain as to what input it wants. And ideas?

Thanks

It looks like you don't have static IP addresses on the physical NICs, thus
they are inheriting the DHCP ON property. DHCP is supported in WIndows 2008
clustering, but you still can supply static IP addresses if you desire. If
you want to use static IP addresses, set the Physical NICs first, then the
cluster wizard should show you options for static IP addresses.
