Error message when you run SQL Server Setup on a failover cluster: "Setup failed to perform required operations on the cluster nodes"
When you install a default or a named instance of SQL Server
2000 or SQL Server 2005 on a failover cluster, the setup might fail, and you receive the following
error message:
Setup failed to perform required
operations on the cluster nodes.
This problem may also occur when
you install SQL Server service packs on a default or a named instance of
SQL Server.
You may also notice that the SqlstpX.log (suffixed
with an incremental number) is not created on the inactive node of the failover
cluster.
The inactive node of the failover cluster cannot access the
SQL Server or SQL Server service pack installation
folder.
To work around the problem, copy the SQL Server or SQL
Server service pack installation folder to the local drive of the active
node, and then share the installation folder.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
