Re: Stuck at Cluster Network Configuration Wizard



Geoff,

Thank you. This screen is highly misleading. That is not what it asks for.
It should ask for the SQL VIP.

It simply lists all the adaptors and gives no clue as to what to enter.
Furthermore, if it has to be on the same subnet --> it shouldn't show the
other adaptors on other subnets. In my opinion, this screen need reworked. It
is confusing, and I've been doing SQL clusters for many years.

Thank you for your quick reply!

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.

"On the Cluster Network Selection page, specify the network resources

* Network Settings — Specify the IP type and IP address for your

I've read those notes from microsoft sql 2008 clustering site BUT i
dont
understand which IP need i to enter. Am i supposed to enter Public IP
range
or Hearbeat IP range??

Currently my IP setting for this 2 nodes are :
node1:Public=10.1.103.123, Hearbeat=192.168.12.73
node2:Public=10.1.103.124, Hearbeat=192.168.12.74
MSDTC=10.1.103.41
Cluster Resources=10.1.103.40

I stuck at below wizard with this given value :
IP Type:IPv4
DHCP=check
Address=null
Subnet Mask=null
Network=Cluster Network 1

In my Failover Cluster Management interface, Cluster Network 1 is
referring
to Public IP. Does that mean that i need to configure my Network
Configuration Wizard with static IP with Public IP range or ELSE?
