| I noticed in installing a SQL2005 failover cluster instance,that it is not necessary to install on both servers. Installing on the primary node automagically installs to the secondary node. Does this constitute a COMPLETE install? It all seems to work. BUT this process does not intall client pieces (SSMS, for instance) on the secondary node. If you want that stuff there, do you then go to that box and just do a client install? |

| That's how clustering works for software packages that are cluster aware. The client tools are not cluster aware, so you must install on each node if you want the tools on each node.
