sql server clustering : SQL Server 2005 Cluster Install
Hi Loren,
It is usually a good idea to either deliberately 'cross-post', or to NOT post the same question to several groups. You get better assistance here if we are able to bounce ideas off of each other. See the response to your question in microsoft.public.sqlserver.setup. -- Arnie Rowland, Ph.D. Westwood Consulting, Inc Most good judgment comes from experience.

I am doing an SQL Server 2005 Cluster install. The install appeared to go
okay. On the active node everything installed fine. However, when we looked at the other node only the configuration tools got installed. SQL Server Management Studio did not get installed. Would anyone know what caused this and how to install the SQL Server 2005 on a cluser correctly? I understand that that the management tools only get installed on the primary node. Should I run setup on the secondary node to install the tools? I also went through the summary log for the install and noticed that almost everything that was installed on the active node was also installed on the passive node. The products that did not get installed on the passive node were: - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Notification Services - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Should not these have been installed on the passive node as well?
Of course you can install any of the client tools and applications on either
node. The data server is all that fails over. If you are actively using a client tool or application on a node that fails, your use of the application does not fail over -it just aborts. Generally speaking, the client tools are installed on the dba's and/or developer's desktops and then remotely access the SQL Server cluster. It takes a fair amount of resources from the cluster node in order to service desktop applications. SQL Client tools are desktop applications. I would rather have that memory, CPU time, etc., dedicated to handling the data server's needs -not the client applications. And since you are using one of the cluster nodes as a development server, you will want to make sure that developers do NOT have sa (sysadmin) privileges in the server. -- Arnie Rowland, Ph.D. Westwood Consulting, Inc Most good judgment comes from experience.

Thanks for all your help Arnie. I would like to continue the thread in this
group in that my question is more about clusters now then SQL server setup. As I mentioned the following products get installed on the primary node but not the secondary node: - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Notification Services - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Following your recommendation, we manually installed the SQL Server 2005 Tools on the secondary node. The server is a development server and in the event of a failover, the above tools would still be needed. Is it possible to install them on the secondary server or is the cluster striclty for data redundancy and not application redundancy?
