HI,
I need to evict one node from a two node, two instance SQL Cluster.
Beyond failing over all resources and ownership to the surviving cluster
node, is there any other configuration change I need to make in SQL server
before doing this? Thanks.
John
Nope. Can I ask why you need to evict the node?
Cheers,

|||Thanks Rodney. To answer that question, look at my thread in Windows Server
Clustering regarding adding 64 bit nodes to 32 bit node cluster where you
were joking about making us look at MVP pictures. On a related note, there
is a KB out there about difficulties adding cluster nodes to Win2003 when
using NTLMv2 only, which is what I do. The article KB is 890761. It applies
to 32 bit and IA64 Windows 2003. Do you know if it applies to x64 Windows
2003? Thanks.

|||Yes, there is an essential step. You need to run the SQL install app and
remove SQL from the node before evicting the node. If you don't do this,
SQL will still have node configuration information and won't let you
reinstall later. You can do the removal after the node is evicted and
removed, but it will throw errors since it cannot update information on the
now-missing node. BOL has information under "maintaining a failover
cluster".

Node Cluster - Fails on Network Resources
I am running a 2-node cluster for SQL Server. After powering down both
servers (passive then active), one of the nodes did not successfully join the
cluster. This node shows exclamation marks on the Network Interfaces in
Cluster Administrator. These nics are functioning correctly outside of the
cluster. The cluster log on the failed node indicates that these network
interfaces are functioning each time it tries to join the cluster. The
active node's cluster log indicates that these resources are not functioning
and removes the other node from being active.
If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, your input would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Debbie
Is the NIC you have exclamation mark on Public or Private network?

This is not a new install. It was working before. We had to power down all
of the servers for a generator hook-up to be installed. When bringing the
cluster back up, this server failed and has failed ever since with these NIC
resource errors.
The subnets look good on the NICs.

Try Shutdown that node (server hard reboot) and power it ON again and see if
it clears your NIC issue.
