Really great help during my installation. But when I install the SQL, I got a page where I have to put the virtual server name &amp; then Virtual IP in SQL Server 2005 cluster. Could you please tell me from where I get this IP. From IT dept I got the IP &amp; when i put that IP address ,I have got a message that the disk is full. </p> <p>I am a SAP Basis consultant &amp; wanted to install my SAP in this cluster environment.</p> <p>Please Advise.</p> <p>Kind Regards,</p> <p>Rafikul</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10040160" width="1" height="1">
