hi,
i wanted to have my 2 node server cluster as active-active. DO i need to put
the named pipes in both servers before i install sql2000 or just on the one
that i wanted to install the instance?i will have VSS1/INST1 and VSS2/INST2.
do i need to put both of them in CNU and install sql on first node and
proceed to another? pls advice.. just a bit blur on that part.Also when do i
need to remove this named pipes? JUST after installation and sqlspa3
completed?

Hi

During the SQL Server Install on a cluster, the setup creates the instances
and copies the binaries to all nodes. It is not a good idea to have any SQL
server installed intances prior to configuring clustering.
