Environment:
Windows Server - 2008 R2
SQL Server - 2008 R2 SP2 Enterprise (x64) ; Type- Cluster
Nodes part of SQL Cluster-
Server-A and Server-B
Server-A( failover Cluster Installation done)
Server-B(Add node Installation done)
Scenario:
i.We had issues with 'Server-A' where it got corrupted and Windows team has asked us to rebuild the Server-A and the SQL Installation as well
Query:
1.Will the SQL setup will allow us to perform "add node" Installation, which is the rebuilded node, where previously (SQL- failover Installation ) was performed
** SQL Server "Add node installation" succeeds based on the current Active node(where SQL Services are up and running) of the cluster -or- the node where SQL"failover cluster installation" is performed first during initial SQL Cluster Installation.
Solution:
a.If, the Add node installation is correct option , please get me the blogs/forums that justify it
or
b.If I need to rebuild the complete SQL Cluster, please get me the blogs/forums that justify it
