    SQL ENT 2005 on 2 node ENT 12003 cluster SQL Server Agent will not start

    PLEEEEEASE HELP

    I am at my wits end now 3 days 5-6 Install / Un-Installs with trying
    to get this 2 node Active/Passive to start the SQL Server Agent.

    The Cluster Resource Registry entries are just like MS MSDN, Technet
    and a 100 other articles have said they should look like.

    Both Nodes
    Environment: MS Server 2003 SP2
    Dual Dual Core 2.28 processors
    2 Gig Memory each
    Quorum EMC iSCSI lun x
    Data drive EMC iSCSI lun y

    MSCS is setup and works great.

    Failover of SQL server works great with the exception of the SQL
    Server Agent.
    Also I can connect to SQL server/instance remotely from my
    workstation.

    All the DOMAIN/GROUPS and Service DOMAIN/USER are in the groups and
    the Local Machine Administraor group.

    What is happening is that when the SQL Server Agent trys to connect to
    the SQL Server Instance Servername/Instance it is not using the
    VirtualServerName from the Sql Server Agent Resource but the Virtual
    Cluster name.


    This is the error log from the SQLagent.out
    Notice the Servername/Instance line. Server is not the Virtual SQL
    name which is I3PLCLSSQL and has a DNS Entry and can be connected
    to SQL Server remotely.

    WHOO HAAAA FOUND THE FIX FOR THIS DEVIOUS ISSUE LISTED BELOW.

    Added VIRTUALSERVERNAME\INSTANCE as the value for the following
    registry key on both nodes of the cluster.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
    Server\MSSQL.1\SQLServerAgent\ServerHost

    With in place went to Cluster Admin and brought the Resource on line
    without issue.

    Failed to 2nd node, all came up perfectly

    Failed back to 1st node and all started again perferctly.

    After 4 days of searching FOUND IT.

    Not really sure you should have needed to do this, as installing SQL 2005 on
    a properly setup 2003 cluster is really *almost* automatic, but I'm happy
    that it works for you now! :-)

    Let us know if you have any other issues...
