SAP 4.7 Enterprise installation on cluster

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to install sap 4.7 enterprise extension set 200 on Windows 2003 with SQL 2000. I need to use the older versions as we are using SAP since 7 yrs and I have to restore sap backup on new hardware.

I have setup windows 2003 enterprise with cluster. Installed SQL Server 2000 enterprise, SAP CI and DB instance on node A. Then Installed SQL server on cluster and applied the relevant service packs. Now I am trying to configure cluster on node A. I get the error "Cannot create sap R/3 cluster group Error:5057" and when I check the log it says "createsapipaddress failed 5057 The Cluster IP address is already in use".

following is the dump from R3Clus.log

31.3.2013, 1:36:27, ntclsapclus.cpp, 209, Entry: InstallSAPResourceType

31.3.2013, 1:36:27, ntclsclinst.cpp, 79, CreateClusterResourceType RC= 183

                Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

31.3.2013, 1:36:28, ntclsclcrsrc.cpp, 377, CreateSAPIPAddress failed 5057

                The cluster IP address is already in use.

Thanks guys for you help...

Hi Abdul,

Refer this thread for SAP on windows cluster

For Cluster IP issues

What are you using for DNS? With Windows 2003 with AD domains and DNS, ip addresses should auto-register in DNS, you may have to manually add ahost entries in DNS, but typically SQL Server can auto-register the virutal addresses in DNS.

Similar problem with Windows 2008 has been resolved in this link.

Hope this helps.
