Hi.

My config - 2 Windows 2008 R2 Sp1 and SQL 2005 SP4 running cluster in 2 nodes. ESX virtual servers in different servers. Both are in the same subnet 10.x.x.x.

When node 1 is up all services and connections are working. When I failed to node #2 all services come online but I can't connect to the database from the client. I can ping and resolve the connection and can login fine with management studio from any server.

One thing I notice is if I change the client ODBC configuration on the named pipes when node 2 is up to "\\sqlservername\pipe\sql\query" then I can connect. I've check the configuration manager in node2 and it is set to "\\.\pipe\$$\sqlservername\sql\query" like node1 is.

I am having the same problem with SQL2008 in another configuration with 2 other servers.

I've looked everywhere and can't fins a solution.
Any ideas will be very helpful.

Thank you.

do you use dynamic tcp port for the sql server or set it as default?
did you check your firewall for the tcp port?

what is the exact connection error message you get?
