BUG #: 358425 (SHILOH_BUGS) SYMPTOMSThe Setup screen disappears during the setup process when
you are installing Virtual SQL Server 2000 on a Windows Server 2003 cluster
server that has more than four nodes. All the installed SQL Server cluster
resources are in offline state.
Here is a sample message that is
logged in the Virtual SQL Server setup log file (Sqlclstr.log):
ClusterGroupEnum(0): enter
ClusterGroupEnum(0): [Disk O:]
ClusterGroupEnum(1): enter
ClusterGroupEnum(1): [SQL IP Address1(KBSQLCLU01)]
ClusterGroupEnum(2): enter
ClusterGroupEnum(2): [SQL Network
Name(KBSQLCLU01)]

(0x103): No more data is available. CAUSESQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition support up to four nodes for failover clustering, including an Active/Active/Active/Active failover clustering configuration, up to 16 total instances. This means SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition are not supported on a cluster with more than four nodes even if SQL Server 2000 is not installed on more than four of the nodes.REFERENCESFor more information about Failover Clustering support, see
the "Failover Clustering Support" topic in SQL Server Books Online.
