Consider the following scenario:
- You install a new SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover cluster.
- When you configure the cluster instance, you use an IP address that is already being used. This results in a failure in feature configuration for that instance
- You try unsuccessfully to repair or uninstall that instance, and you leave the failed instance as it is.
- You install a new instance of a SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover cluster.
- The new instance is installed successfully and is put into production.
In this scenario, if you try to update the new instance with a cumulative update or a service pack, the setup fails. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
- TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
