"No SAP cluster group found" when installing additional node

[former_member211576]

Hi experts,

   I migrate our SAP to Windows server 2012 cluster and I get an error "No SAP cluster group found".

What does it mean? Please help.

Hi,

please follow the installation guide carefully in detail.

A MSCS configuration is a little more complex than just starting an installer on one cluster node followed by the the start of the installer on the second node.

Especially you have to take care about the distribution of components on the system and the specific order of installation steps.

You can't migrate a Central System Installation installed on a MSCS node to a MSCS configuration on the same cluster. You have to use different installation services in order to install a MSCS configuration.

regards

Peter

PS: the groups listed above showed that the actions on the first cluster node have not been performed (you would have a group named "SAP <SAPSID>" which is missing. This group is created during the first Installation steps in an MSCS environment.

Hi Peter,

   Yes, I got a support from Microsoft just now. The Cluster group, or Service and application in Windows server 2008, or Role in Windows server 2012 must always be in "SAP <SID>" format, right? Otherwise, sapinst can't recognize it during installation.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

SAPInst will create the cluster group and all resources related to SAP.

The Group and Resource Names can't be changed.

Hi,

What is the host name that you are using . You should use virtual host name rather than cluster host name.

Did you check the the pointing of /sapmnt. Use net share command to test it.

In Cluster Management --> Services and Applications --> select created service and check properties and see if dependencies are added correctly check if all status are "online"

Are you doing the install with a user with Local Admin rights?

What vesrion of SWPM are your using..

Thanks

Hi Rishi,

1. I rehearse this procedure in the lab for a couple times. The new SWPM70SP02 does not need to assign virtual host name in command line explicitly.

2.   In the first node, I can see sapmnt in Share tab. By the way, the first node has been go live for one week.

3. -- get-clustergroup ---

PS C:\Users\tcpadm> get-clustergroup

4. Yes, I am.

Hi Rishi,

   I just try the old syntax. "sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=tccprd1"

Hi,

As you are saying that Primary is already live so What i remember that you move the cluster group to the additional MSCS node before you install the primary application server instance on this node and Before you install the additional application server instance on the second MSCS node with SAPinst, you must move the cluster group on this MSCS node. but for system copy  i will have to read the guide.

Same is the case with the virtual server name as mentioned in the note 1564275. Let read first the guide.

Hi,

Please check this note.

Note 1676665 - Setting up Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Also try this

log on to the first cluster node as <sid>adm user and restart the option "Second Cluster Node"
