Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise as a
clustered service
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise provides SQL database services to Insight Management..
Install each node sequentially. (This white paper documents the Add Node alternative for installing
SQL server 2012, the simpler choice for a two-node cluster. The other option is called
Advanced/Enterprise installation.)
Alternative method for launching the SQL Server 2012 installer
HP encountered an installation difficulty, documented by Microsoft with a dialog box titled “Rule
Check Result.The dialog box displays the following text: Rule ‘Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)
cluster verification errors’ failed. The cluster either has not been verified or there are errors or
failures in the verification report. Refer to KB953748 or SQL Server Books Online at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953748.” This condition occurs during SQL Server 2012
installation after you have run cluster verification with no reported errors or failures, and the
condition effectively halts installation.
