Hello to all.
Please help me to find a solution to my problem.
The SA install a 2008 failover cluster with two nodes, so I can install SQL Server 2008 R2 failover instance, but I get an error when I ask to put the cluster name: "The SQL Server failover cluster instance name already exists as a clustered resource.
Specify a different failover cluster instance name."
I've found that the resolution for this is to find the orphan resource using "cluster RES" but when I enter the command I don't see any orphan resource only the name of the two nodes.
What I did was to put other name and the installation process continued, but when I get to the part when I have to indicate the IP address, and write the cluster IP, I got another error: "The IP address is already in use....."
I don't know what am I doing wrong, the name I'm using is "clustername" indicated after this line, and the IP is the "clusterIP", is that correct? .
This is what the SA gave me:
Cluster name: "clustername.domain.local (clusterIP)"
Host1: "hostnename1.domain.local(host1IP)"
