I have a two node failover SQL server cluster with DC's on cluster nodes. Would this configuration be the cause of not being able to install SQL server SP2 on the Virtual Server?? The SP install will not ripple out to the other node it hangs and fails. I have to break the cluster and install it on each node individually and then bring them back into the cluster.

The only documentation I can find on best practices or known issues with having DC's on cluster nodes are the following links http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281662
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171390/

Does anyone have anything to share about this topic or know of any other MS documentation about this??

Thanks

It may happen on cluster without DC. Did you check installation log file? Usually you can find why failed there.

Could not having an MSDTC IP address resource be the cause?? Found that MSDTC is installed in the cluster but only has a network name and not an IP address.
