Active/Passive failover-Failed?

Hello,
I have an A/P W2K3 Cluster with SQL 2K-SP3. When I fail it over to the
passive node, only the virtual server name is available, not the SQL IP Addr
I have a A/P NT 4 Cluster with SQL 7 and the name and Addr fail over..
In the cluster Admin, both servers are listed unbder the SQLIP addr...
Thoughts?
Thank You,
Tony B
Hi
Any errors in the OS event log?
If it does not fail-over correctly, it must be complaining about something.

Does all resources in the SQL group come online on the active node?
What happens when you move the SQL group to the passive node? From your statement above, you said that only the virtual server name is available, not SQL IP addr.
What do you mean? If any of the resources fail on the passive node then the default behavior will to retry 3 times and then it will move the full group to the other node. Is this
what is happening? Give more details.

|||hello,
yes, all the SQL comes on line.
When I attach to SQLSERVER in sql enterprise mgr, it attaches, however, If I
attach to 10.1.1.1, the addr of the SQLSERVER, it fails..
-Should the CLUSTER SERVICE be AUToMATIC startup on the passive node?
-SQLSERVER Also be AUTOMATIC startup on the passive node?

instance or the real IP of a node? Always use the Virtual IP of SQL.

Also, the Cluster Service is AUTOMATIC on ALL nodes( active and passive) whereas the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent service accounts are MANUAL on ALL nodes (active and passive). This the correct
startup type and changing it can give you unexpalanable behaviors.
