My colleague tried installing SQL Server 2005 SP2 on a failover cluster setup on Windows 2008 Hyper V environment. The installation process was failed with a message (dont know the exact message 🙁 ) and after that sql server got crashed.
I am in a situation where i dont know what was the error message. He tried onto development machine which i had rebuilt correspending to production environment and i have to re-install sp2 onto this dev machine.
Any precautions i should take before installing sp2?
Is anyone of you aware of any issues for installing sql server 2k5 sp2 on sql server 2k5 failover cluster in hyper-v. I googled and found that microsoft doesn't provide any support for this kind of environment.
