Create a New Always On Failover Cluster Instance (Setup)

Applies to: SQL Server

To install or upgrade a SQL Server failover cluster instance (FCI), you must run the Setup program on each node of the underlying Windows Server failover cluster. To add a node to an existing SQL Server failover cluster instance, you must run SQL Server Setup on the node that is to be added to the SQL Server failover cluster instance. Do not run Setup on the active node to manage the other nodes.

Depending on how the nodes are clustered, the SQL Server failover cluster instance is configured in the following ways:

  • Nodes on the same subnet or the same set of subnets - The IP address resource dependency is set to AND for these types of configurations.

  • Nodes on different subnets - The IP address resource dependency is set to OR and this configuration is called a SQL Server multi-subnet failover cluster instance configuration. For more information, see SQL Server Multi-Subnet Clustering (SQL Server).

The following options are available for SQL Server failover cluster installation:

Option1: Integration Installation with Add Node

SQL Server integrated failover cluster installation consists of the following steps:

  • Create and configure a single-node SQL Server failover cluster instance. When you configure the node successfully, you have a fully functional failover cluster instance. At this point, it does not have high availability because there is only one node in the failover cluster instance.

  • On each node to be added to the SQL Server failover cluster instance, run Setup with Add Node functionality to add that node.

    • If the node you are adding has additional or different subnets, Setup allows you to specify additional IP addresses. If the node you are adding is on a different subnet, you also need to confirm the IP address resource dependency change to OR. For more information on the different possible scenarios during Add Node operations, see Add or Remove Nodes in an Always On Failover Cluster Instance (Setup).

Option 2: Advanced/Enterprise Installation

SQL Server Advanced/Enterprise failover cluster installation consists of the following steps:

  • On each node that is a possible owner of the new SQL Server failover cluster, follow the Prepare Failover Cluster setup steps that are listed in the Prepare section. After you run the Prepare Failover Cluster on one node, Setup creates the Configuration.ini file that lists all the settings that you specified. On the additional nodes to be prepared, instead of following these steps, you can supply the autogenerated Configuration.ini file from the first node as an input to the Setup command line. For more information, see Install SQL Server 2016 Using a Configuration File. This step prepares the nodes ready to be clustered, but there is no operational instance of SQL Server at the end of this step.

  • After the nodes are prepared for clustering, run Setup on one of the prepared nodes. This step configures and finishes the failover cluster instance. At the end of this step, you will have an operational SQL Server failover cluster instance and all the nodes that were prepared previously for that instance will be the possible owners of the newly created SQL Server failover cluster instance.

    If you are creating a failover cluster instance that spans multiple subnets, Setup will detect the union of all the subnets across all nodes that have the SQL Server prepared failover cluster instance. You will be able to specify multiple IP addresses for the subnets. Each prepared node must be the possible owner of at least one IP address.

    If each of the IP addresses specified for the subnets are supported on all the prepared nodes, the dependency is set to AND.

    If each of the IP addresses specified for the subnets are not supported on all the prepared nodes, the dependency is set to OR. For more information, see SQL Server Multi-Subnet Clustering (SQL Server).

    Note

    Complete Failover Cluster requires that the underlying Windows Server failover cluster exists. If the Windows Server failover cluster does not exist, Setup gives an error and exits.

For more information about how to add nodes to or remove nodes from an existing failover cluster instance, see Add or Remove Nodes in an Always On Failover Cluster Instance (Setup).

For more information about remote installation, see Supported Version and Edition Upgrades.

For more information about installing Analysis Services in a WSFC, see How to Cluster SQL Server Analysis Services.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, review the following SQL Server articles:

Note

Take note of the location of the shared drive in the Cluster Administrator before you run SQL Server Setup. You must have this information to create a new failover cluster instance.

To install a new SQL Server failover cluster instance using Integrated Install with Add Node.

  1. Insert the SQL Server installation media, and from the root folder, double-click Setup.exe. To install from a network share, browse to the root folder on the share, and then double-click Setup.exe. For more information about how to install prerequisites, see Before Installing Failover Clustering.

  2. The Installation Wizard starts the SQL Server Installation Center. To create a new cluster installation of SQL Server, select New SQL Server failover cluster installation on the installation page.

  3. The System Configuration Checker runs a discovery operation on your computer. To continue, select OK. You can view the details on the screen by selecting Show Details, or as an HTML report by selecting View detailed report.

  4. To continue, select Next.

  5. On the Setup Support Files page, select Install to install the Setup support files.

  6. The System Configuration Checker verifies the system state of your computer before Setup continues. After the check is complete, select Next to continue. You can view the details on the screen by selecting Show Details, or as an HTML report by selecting View detailed report.

  7. On the Product key page, indicate whether you are installing a free edition of SQL Server, or whether you have a PID key for a production version of the product. For more information, see Editions and supported features of SQL Server 2022.

  8. On the License Terms page, read the license agreement, and then select the check box to accept the license terms and conditions. To help improve SQL Server, you can also enable the feature usage option and send reports to Microsoft. Select Next to continue. To end Setup, select Cancel.

  9. On the Feature Selection page, select the components for your installation. A description for each component group appears in the right pane after you select the feature name. You can select any combination of check boxes, but only Database Engine, Analysis Services in tabular mode, and Analysis Services in multidimensional mode support failover clustering. Other selected components will run as a stand-alone feature without failover capability on the current node that you are running Setup on. For more information on Analysis Services modes, see Determine the Server Mode of an Analysis Services Instance.

    Note

    You cannot add features to a failover cluster instance after creation. For example, you cannot add the PolyBase feature to an existing failover cluster instance. Make note of what features are needed before beginning the installation of a failover cluster instance.

    The prerequisites for the selected features are displayed on the right-hand pane. SQL Server Setup will install the prerequisite that are not already installed during the installation step described later in this procedure.

    You can specify a custom directory for shared components by using the field at the bottom of this page. To change the installation path for shared components, either update the path in the field provided at the bottom of the dialog box, or select the ellipsis button to browse to an installation directory. The default installation path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server \.

    SQL Server also supports installing system databases (Master, Model, MSDB, and TempDB), and Database Engine user databases on a Server Message Block (SMB) file share. For more information on installing SQL Server with SMB file share as a storage, see Install SQL Server with SMB Fileshare as a Storage Option.

    The path specified for the shared components must be an absolute path. The folder must not be compressed or encrypted. Mapped drives are not supported. If you are installing SQL Server on a 64-bit operating system, you will see the following options:

    1. Shared feature directory

    2. Shared feature directory (x86)

    The path specified for each of the above options must be different.

    Note

    When you select the Database Engine Services feature, both replication and full-text search are selected automatically. Data Quality Services (DQS) is also selected when you select the Database Engine Services feature. Unselecting any of these subfeatures also unselects the Database Engine Services feature.

  10. SQL Server setup runs one more set of rules that are based on the features you selected to validate your configuration.

  11. On the Instance Configuration page, specify whether to install a default or a named instance. For more information, see Instance Configuration.

    SQL Server Network Name - Specify a network name for the new SQL Server failover cluster instance. This is the name that is used to identify your failover cluster instance on the network.

    Note

    This is known as the virtual SQL Server name in earlier versions of SQL Server failover cluster instances.

    Instance ID - By default, the instance name is used as the Instance ID. This is used to identify installation directories and registry keys for your instance of SQL Server. This is the case for default instances and named instances. For a default instance, the instance name and instance ID would be MSSQLSERVER. To use a nondefault instance ID, select the Instance ID box and provide a value.

    Note

    Typical stand-alone instances of SQL Server, whether default or named instances, do not use a nondefault value for the Instance ID box.

    Instance root directory - By default, the instance root directory is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. To specify a nondefault root directory, use the field provided, or select the ellipsis button to locate an installation folder.

    Detected SQL Server instances and features on this computer - The grid shows instances of SQL Server that are on the computer where Setup is running. If a default instance is already installed on the computer, you must install a named instance of SQL Server. Select Next to continue.

  12. Use the Cluster Resource Group page to specify the cluster resource group, or role, name where SQL Server virtual server resources will be located. To specify the SQL Server cluster resource group name, you have two options:

    • Use the drop-down box to specify an existing group to use.

    • Type the name of a new group to create. Be aware that the name "Available storage" is not a valid group name.

  13. On the Cluster Disk Selection page, select the shared cluster disk resource for your SQL Server failover cluster instance. The cluster disk is where the SQL Server data will be put. More than one disk can be specified. The Available shared disks grid displays a list of available disks, whether each is qualified as a shared disk, and a description of each disk resource. Select Next to continue.

    Note

    The first drive is used as the default drive for all databases, but can be changed on the Database Engine or Analysis Services configuration pages.

    On the Cluster Disk Selection page, you can optionally skip selecting any shared disk if you want to use SMB fileshare as a data folder.

  14. On the Cluster Network Configuration page, specify the network resources for your failover cluster instance:

    • Network Settings - Specify the IP type and IP address for your failover cluster instance.

    Select Next to continue.

  15. Use this page to specify Cluster Security Policy.

    • Windows Server 2008 and later versions - Service SIDs (server security IDs) are the recommended and default setting. There is no option for changing this to security groups. For information about service SIDs functionality on Windows Server 2008, see Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions. This has been tested in standalone and cluster setup on Windows Server 2008 R2.

    • On Windows Server 2003, specify domain groups for SQL Server services. All resource permissions are controlled by domain-level groups that include SQL Server service accounts as group members.

    Select Next to continue.

  16. Work flow for the rest of this topic depends on the features that you have specified for your installation. You might not see all the pages, depending on your selections (Database Engine, Analysis Services, and Reporting Services).

  17. On the Server Configuration - Service Accounts page, specify login accounts for SQL Server services. The actual services that are configured on this page depend on the features that you selected to install.

    You can assign the same login account to all SQL Server services, or you can configure each service account individually. The startup type is set to manual for all cluster-aware services, including full-text search and SQL Server Agent, and cannot be changed during installation. Microsoft recommends that you configure service accounts individually to provide least privileges for each service, where SQL Server services are granted the minimum permissions they have to have complete their tasks. For more information, see Server Configuration - Service Accounts and Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions.

    To specify the same logon account for all service accounts in this instance of SQL Server, provide credentials in the fields at the bottom of the page.

    Security Note Do not use a blank password. Use a strong password.

    When you are finished specifying login information for SQL Server services, select Next.

  18. Use the Server Configuration - Collation tab to specify nondefault collations for the Database Engine and Analysis Services.

  19. Use the Database Engine Configuration - Account Provisioning page to specify the following:

    • Security Mode - select Windows Authentication or Mixed Mode Authentication for your instance of SQL Server. If you select Mixed Mode Authentication, you must provide a strong password for the built-in SQL Server system administrator account.

      After a device establishes a successful connection to SQL Server, the security mechanism is the same for both Windows Authentication and Mixed Mode.

    • SQL Server Administrators - You must specify at least one system administrator for the instance of SQL Server. To add the account under which SQL Server Setup is running, select Add Current User. To add or remove accounts from the list of system administrators, select Add or Remove, and then edit the list of users, groups, or computers that will have administrator privileges for the instance of SQL Server.

    When you are finished editing the list, select OK. Verify the list of administrators in the configuration dialog box. When the list is complete, select Next.

  20. Use the Database Engine Configuration - Data Directories page to specify nondefault installation directories. To install to default directories, select Next.

    Important

    If you specify nondefault installation directories, make sure that the installation folders are unique to this instance of SQL Server. None of the directories in this dialog box should be shared with directories from other instances of SQL Server. The data directories should be located on the shared cluster disk for the failover cluster instance.

    Note

    To specify a Server Message Block (SMB) file server as the Data Directory, set default data root directory to the fileshare of the format \\Servername\ShareName\...

  21. Use the Database Engine Configuration - FILESTREAM page to enable FILESTREAM for your instance of SQL Server. Select Next to continue.

  22. Use the Analysis Services Configuration - Account Provisioning page to specify users or accounts that will have administrator permissions for Analysis Services. You must specify at least one system administrator for Analysis Services. To add the account under which SQL Server Setup is running, select Add Current User. To add or remove accounts from the list of system administrators, select Add or Remove, and then edit the list of users, groups, or computers that will have administrator privileges for Analysis Services.

    When you are finished editing the list, select OK. Verify the list of administrators in the configuration dialog box. When the list is complete, select Next.

  23. Use the Analysis Services Configuration - Data Directories page to specify nondefault installation directories. To install to default directories, select Next.

    Important

    If you specify nondefault installation directories, make sure that the installation folders are unique to this instance of SQL Server. None of the directories in this dialog box should be shared with directories from other instances of SQL Server. The data directories should be located on the shared cluster disk for the failover cluster instance.

  24. Use the Reporting Services Configuration page to specify the kind of Reporting Services installation to create. For failover cluster instance installations, the option is set to Unconfigured Reporting Services installation. You must configure Reporting Services services after you complete the installation.

  25. The System Configuration Checker runs one more set of rules to validate your configuration with the SQL Server features that you have specified.

  26. The Ready to Install page displays a tree view of installation options that were specified during Setup. To continue, select Install. Setup will first install the required prerequisites for the selected features followed by the feature installation.

  27. During installation, the Installation Progress page provides status so that you can monitor installation progress as Setup continues.

  28. After installation, the Complete page provides a link to the summary log file for the installation and other important notes. To complete the SQL Server installation process, select Close.

  29. If you are instructed to restart the computer, do so now. It is important to read the message from the Installation Wizard when you have finished with Setup. For information about Setup log files, see View and Read SQL Server Setup Log Files.

  30. To add nodes to the single-node failover you just created, run Setup on each additional node and follow the steps for AddNode operation. For more information, see Add or Remove Nodes in an Always On Failover Cluster Instance (Setup).

    Note

    If you are adding more than one node, you can use the configuration file to deploy the installations. For more information, see Install SQL Server 2016 Using a Configuration File.

    The SQL Server edition you are installing must match across all the nodes in a SQL Server failover cluster instance. When you add a new node to an existing SQL Server failover cluster instance, make sure that you specify that the edition matches the edition of the existing failover cluster instance.
