Even though SQL Server 2000 is up and running, it does not recognize our instance when going to the pull-down menu, nor does it recognize it when I key in the instance name. We are running on a Windows Cluster and the cluster servers are attached to a SAN. Is the cluster/SAN environment the reason it cannot detect the instance or s there a trick or a different set of procedures to follow when installing and running the tool in a cluster/SAN environment?
