Author 2005 Cluster Install Error
Simon

2005-11-08, 4:09 pm

I'm having problems installing 2005 Ent on my Win 2003 SP1 2 node cluster.
Please note this cluster has a SQL 2000 (SP4) virtual server/instance already
installed. I would like to run them side by side.

installing using the setup wizard I get error about the schedule task
failing to start on the 2nd node. Looking through the log files the setup
program on the 2nd node has thrown an exception error, core.log shows this:

Complete: ParseBootstrapOption
sAction at: 2005/10/7 13:25:6, returned false
Error: Action " ParseBootstrapOption

I've trying to work around it I have tried installing from the command line.
This gets much further with setup starting correctly on both nodes. I get as
far as installing the actual SQL Server Service instance then I'm thrown an
error. Summary.log shows:

--- END OF OUTPUT


In the GUI you get asked for Domain Groups for each service, the
documentation for the command line installer doesn't tell me what the
parameters are for this. Do I need them, is the documentation missing
something?? Also I'm not too sure what the ADMINPASSWORD= paramater is for -
I'm putting in my domain password currently - again teh documentation isn't
too hot for this.

I'm running out of ideas. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

Thanks

Simon

I figured out the problem to the command line - why the GUI crashed I do not
know.

BOL does not document any of these parameters for the command line which are
REQUIRED for a cluster install:

SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="DOMAIN\USER"
SQLBROWSERPASSWORD="PASSWORD"

SQLCLUSTERGROUP="DOMAIN\GROUP"
AGTCLUSTERGROUP="DOMAIN\GROUP"
FTSCLUSTERGROUP="DOMAIN\GROUP"

However if you look in the template.ini file on your install cd you will
find details of how and when to use them.

A very dissapointed customer.

Simon,

yep I noticed that too. Just an omission in BOL. I sent feedback via the BOL
entry for installing a Cluster from template/unattend, suggest you do the
same.

That information is in the Readme notes as well as the Readme errata posted
online.

ALWAYS READ THE README.

At the time, this seemed clearer, but it appears you are speaking of
something else. There is also the Setupsql9.chm file that is seperate from
the BOL. You are right; it is unclear.

Microsoft SQL Server September 2005 Community Technology Preview
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...ion_
cuy1


3.5.15 Corrections to the Names of Security Groups Created During Setup
During setup, SQL Server 2005 adds the following security groups to Windows:
SQLServer2005DTSUser
$ComputerName

SQLServer2005MSFTEUs
er$ComputerName$Inst
anceName

SQLServer2005MSOLAPU
ser$ComputerName$Ins
tanceName

SQLServer2005MSSQLSe
rverADHelperUser$Com
puterName

SQLServer2005MSSQLUs
er$ComputerName$Inst
anceName

SQLServer2005Notific
ationServicesUser$Co
mputerName

SQLServer2005Reporti
ngServicesWebService
User$ComputerName$In
stanceName

SQLServer2005ReportS
erverUser$ComputerNa
me$InstanceName

SQLServer2005SQLAgen
tUser$ComputerName$I
nstanceName

SQLServer2005SQLBrow
serUser$ComputerName


These groups simplify granting permissions required to run SQL Server
Windows services and other executables. They also help secure SQL Server
files.
In SQL Server Books Online, $ComputerName was omitted from the names. The
computer name has since been added to the group names to uniquely identify
each group. Unique group names are necessary if SQL Server 2005 is installed
on domain controllers. For all references to security groups that start with
"SQLServer2005," substitute the appropriate group name listed above.

3.5.17 Restrictions for Service Accounts on a Failover Cluster
SQL Server service, SQL Server Agent service, Analysis Services service, and
Full-Text Search service must run as domain accounts that are members of the
built-in Administrators group on each node of the cluster.


Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas

From the Setupsql9.chm, regarding your original issue:

How to: Install SQL Server 2005 from the Command Prompt

For failover cluster installations, you must be a local administrator with
permissions to logon as a service, and to act as part of the operating
system on all nodes of the virtual server.

start /wait setup.exe /qn VS=<VSName> INSTALLVS=Analysis_S
erver
INSTANCENAME=<InstanceName> ADDLOCAL=Analysis_Se
rver ADDNODE=n
GROUP=<NotSQLDiskGroup> IP=<IP,Networkname> ADMINPASSWORD=<StrongPassword>
SAPWD=<StrongPassword> INSTALLSQLDIR=<InstallationPath>
INSTALLSQLDATADIR=<ShareDrivePath> ASACCOUNT=<domain\user>
ASPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword> SQLBROWSERACCOUNT=<domain\user>
SQLBROWSERPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword> SQLREPORTING=1

Start /wait <DVD Drive>\setup.exe /qn VS=<VSName> INSTALLVS=SQL_Engine

INSTANCENAME=<InstanceName> ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,
Client_Components
ADDNODE=<NodeName1,NodeName2> GROUP=<Diskgroup> IP=<IP,Networkname>
ADMINPASSWORD=<StrongPassword> SAPWD=<StrongPassord>
INSTALLSQLDIR=<InstallationPath> INSTALLSQLDATADIR=<ShareDrivePath>
SQLACCOUNT=<domain\user> SQLPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword>
AGTACCOUNT=<domain\user> AGTPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword>

The same holds true for the other components.

Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas

and the portion I presume is talking about the Local Groups that created on
the Server where SQL is installed. Simon's original post is about the DOMAIN
local groups that are required for Clustering.

Yea, I saw that and it didn't make sense. There is no such thing as "DOMAIN
local groups." There are DOMAIN Global groups, LOCAL groups, Cluster
Resource groups, and, apparently, SQL Server 2005 security groups.

However, there is a new requirement that not only does the Installation
Administrator need Local Administrators group membership but also the ACT AS
PART OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM User Security rights assignment for clustered
installations that probably caused the initial issue to begin with.

Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas

Ok, there is a difference between Universal, Global, and Local Domain
Groups. However, if you have a Single Forest, Single Domain model, they are
equivalent.

But, then, the installer would also need AD permission to create these
Domain Local Groups in addition to the membership in the Machine Local
Administrators Group and Act as part of the Operating System User Access
Right.

I am still suspect on whether or not this is a Security Group or Cluster
Resource Group requirement.

I can see the need to promote Machine Local Groups to Domain Local Groups
when we are talking about clusters because the level of scope. But then
again that would require a higher level of privilege.

If true, then I would most certainly agree that the documentation is Grossly
lacking.

Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas

Fine. Time to bite the bullet on that one.

I dug around on my own and the both of you are absolutely right. God, I
hate that, but how else do you learn.

Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention, and for helping me see
through my own pig-headedness.

For what it is worth, I've been trying to follow the "Best Practices"
solution of creating machine local groups to which I add Domain Global
Groups for years to provide as much resource isolation as possible, but for
clusters, that's a bit tricky and redundant. With the use of Domain Local
Groups, this makes it easier.

So, in short, I'm glad for the change; however, you are both absolutely
right in that the documentation totally sucks in this case. It makes sense,
given they do document the machine local groups as SQL Server security
groups and promoting them for clustered installations, but it sure would
have been nice to have noted that somewhere else other than the very last
paragraph in the template.ini.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas

You aren't the only one to notice the documentation is less than stellar.
And you are also correct in that domain-level security groups is the correct
way to manage security for SQL service accounts, clustered or not. And
finally, you aren't the first "expert" to make a mistake in public. That is
what makes a community forum so great. If you screw up, you will get called
on it. :)

Respect :-)

I did see somewhere about a December 2005 refresh BOL that will have the
process detailed.

cheers,

Andy.

I am getting the same error (can't start the scheduled job on the
remote node due to a permission error) while trying to install SQL 2005
Analysis Services on a 2 node cluster. I actually have SQL 05 already
installed on the cluster... It had the same problem but after trying
the install 3 or 4 times it eventually worked. The Analysis services
install just wont start on the remote nide.

Any ideas all?

Thanks,

Jiles
