Note This article also explains how to access various log files to help diagnose the problem.

If you examine the Setup log file, Sqlsp.log, you see a message that is similar to the following: 16:02:25 End Action : Run setup on cluster nodes

16:02:25 One or more errors occurred while running remote setup on the clustered machines.

16:23:46 Setup failed to perform required operations on the cluster nodes

If you examine the Setup log file Sqlsp .log from the active node, you see a message that is similar to the following near the end of the log file: 16:01:01 C:\DOCUME~1\SQLSRV~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\2\SqlSetup\Bin\scm.exe -Silent 1 -Action 1 -Service MSSQLSERVER -StartupOptions \-T4022 \-T4010 \-m

16:01:11 Process Exit Code: (1)

Note Although Scm.exe returned 0 for starting the service of SQL Server 2000, the osql utility cannot connect to the instance of SQL Server 2000 after the service has started.

If you examine the output file Sp1_serv_uni.out in the Install folder of the SQL Server 2000 installation, you see the following error message:

[DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
