Installing SQL Server 2008 on the secondary system

The SQL Server Installation Wizard enables you to install an SQL Server failover cluster on a

single node. Setup operations for SQL Server failover clustering have changed for SQL

Server 2008. To install or upgrade an SQL Server failover cluster, you must run the setup

program on each node of the failover cluster. To add a node to an existing SQL Server

failover cluster, you must run SQL Server Setup on the node that is to be added to the SQL

Server failover cluster instance. Do not run setup on the active node.

After completing the installation of a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition instance

or verification of the availability of an existing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 instance on the

primary node, you must install SQL Server 2008 on the secondary node.

Download and install the latest patch available for SQL Server 2008 from

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957459.

1. Install any prerequisite components for SQL Server 2008 if they are not already

installed. Microsoft Windows Installer 4.5 must be installed and HP recommends

that you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 to avoid installing

the .NET Framework twice and to avoid multiple restarts.
