Problems with sql 2k8 on windows 2k8 install

Installed the first node and it appeared that the installation only
installed to the first physical node?! dont remember seeing a physical node
selection (as per sql2k5 clustering) so have uninstalled (via remove node)
and then add/remove programs to try again. uninstall fine but now when
attempting to install, cluster still thinks the network name is already in
use -as I type I think this might be old entries in DNS perhaps.
However should I resolve that issue, am I missing the node selection screen?
Is there a simple doc I could reference for sql 2k8 -Im pretty much an
expert in sql 2k5/w2k3..

cheers.

The installer for SQL 2008 clustering is very different than the

The installer for SQL 2008 clustering is very different than the previous
versions.  Short version is the installer only installs one node at a time.
There are installer options to create the failover cluster instance and to
add a node to a failover cluster instance.  The remote install that created
the other nodes is not in SQL 2008.

BOL goes over this in pretty decent detail.

Geoff thanks.

Geoff thanks. I guess it was a case of RTFM, but unfortunately everyone else
had overrun the project which left me a couple of days to get this all
sorted.

I arrived at your conclusion unfortunately after blowing away the first node
install but its finally all going after running into a few other issues.
