Hi there
I am attempting to patch SP4 onto SQL 2005 ent 32 on a 3 node cluster running win 2003 ent sp2
In the event log I get the following error:
===============================
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Error 29527. The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is RestoreSetupParams. The error is : Source File Name: datastore\cachedpropertycollection.cpp

Failed to find a cluster group that owned shared disk: F:
==================================
F: is a network drive that is mapped on each node of the cluster. However it does not show up in cluster admin as a resource. Should I unmap the network drive from each node in turn and then add it back as a cluster resource through cluadmin.exe?
Also, why does the patch installer care about this network drive? There are plenty of other network drives. Is it being used by the SQL Server somewhere?
thanks
