Hi,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 (vendor application only supported on this version) on a windows 2012 cluster. I am using mountpoints as we have a number of instances to install.
The installation setup stalls after I have specified the cluster group name and details and I cannot proceed any further to select cluster disks.
Looking at the detail.txt in the setup bootstrap logs folder, I can see that the process is checking for the available shared disk volumes but it seems to be looping through the disks over and over.
A snippet from the detail.txt looks like this and is repeated for all mountpoints and drives over and over (I left the process to run and it took over 30 mins and had repeated the same steps 5 times already so I killed the installation)
