Hi,
I having a problem starting sql server in a cluster. The error has the
description;
17113:
initconfig: Error 2(the system cannot find the file specified.) opening
'master.mdf' for configuration information
did you check if the file master.mdf exist?
first check in cluster administrator if the configuration is ok and the
resources are available.
If the master.mdf is corrupt, you can't start sqlserver.
So you have to do a restore.
Start up SQL server in single user mode:

GOOD LUCK!
I drank alot of beer and ended up in the police department database.
Drank more beer and learned SQL in the dark hours.
DELETE FROM offenders WHERE Title=''MrAA'' AND Year=2006;
I love SQL

|||Hi,
I am able to start the SQL server manually through a command line. The
error occurs when I try to start SQL server through the Cluster
Administrator. Does this mean the master.mdf is still corrupt?
Thanks

Can you provide some historical context?
If it is registry keys, then you will need to perform a cluster recovery
scenario:

Good luck.
