Activating a Second Server in an NLB Cluster


Activating a Second Server in an NLB Cluster zinck74

sql server reporting services:
Hi,
I'm having problems activating a second server that is participating in
an NLB cluster. The common response I see here is to run rsactivate
from the first node using the -m switch to activate the second node.
The problem with this is that when in an NLB cluster you cannot even
ping the second server so there is no way to do it this way. Is there
an alternative way of activating it. I have tried doing the rskeymgt
-d on the servers but it seems like whenever I do that only one server
will pickup (or perhaps create) the key so the other server will go
back into the "not activated" mode. Is there a way to perhaps
"extract" the key from one server and "install" it on the second
server?

Thanks in advance!
Bill

OK....I saw how I could extract a key to a file. I then applied the
key to the second server, but that didn't really seem to change
anything. I am still getting a "not activated" message when I bring up
report manager. Any thoughts? Am I going to have to uninstall NLB,
then do the install and then redo NLB?

Thanks,
Bill
