Hello,

Do you have any db installed at present in the cluster?

Best to install system from scratch according to SAP installation guides

www.service.sap.com/instguides

Hi,

1

1) Move all the resource under NODEA

2) Install MSSQL 2005.(it will ask for NODEA & NODEB details) - No need to install seperate in NODEB

3) Restart the system.

4) Move all the resouse under NODEA

5) Install SAP (CI+DB)

6) Run NODEA for MSCS option in SAPinst.

7) Move all the resourse under NODEB

😎 Run NODEB for MSCS option in SAPinst.

9) Post-installation steps.

Note:1) whenever you are restarting the system you need to move all the resourse into NODEA.

2) Read the installation guide for use of IP numbers (Private & Public)

it's good to know about the steps for installing mssql or sap on clustring .

but what i want to know that are there any specific services to enable before the mssql or sap installation or during or in post installation .n what service to instal on the node or what on the cluster.

Hi,

During installation SAPINST will automatically create cluster groups (SAPGROUP & DBGROUP) so you don´t need to do much except for some post installation steps. You won´t need to create any service manually but some steps post installation are necesary.

BUT, I strongly recomend to carefully follow the instructions provided in the Installation guide because there you will find all the steps clearly written and described. Things like IP preparation for the cluster, how to check if cluster is correctly configured and some other important considerations are there so It is much better to carefully read at the documentation.
