Hi All
I have 4 nodes into one WSFC. 2 nodes in each datacenter. Node 1&2 are in DC1, Node3&4 are in DC2. I have to install 2 SQL Server FCIs, one in DC1 and another in DC2. and then we have to configure AOAG between these two DC instances. A set of storages are shared to their respective nodes Node1&2 and similar set of storage is shared btw node3&4 in DC2.
So i installed default instance in DC1 between node1&2 and this set of cluster is working fine. Now i have to do the same btw node3&4. But here i am getting this error: "Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exist." and db engine is showing as failed during installation.
Although i can start sql server service manually from services.msc also i can connect to this instance but failed to bring it on cluster resource group. I kept cluster resource group name different then the DC1 cluster resource group name. The name of cluster resource group names are:
DC1-Node1&2- SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
DC2-Node3&4-SQL Server DR (MSSQLSERVERDR)
Versions: SQL Server 2014 SP2 running on Wind 2012 R2 OS.
Please help me to fix this issue.
