Reinstalling Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2 Preserving the Data in the HPC Databases

Updated: August 10, 2011

Applies To: Windows HPC Server 2008 R2

To reinstall Microsoft® HPC Pack 2008 R2 on the head node of your cluster without having all the data in the HPC databases erased, you must run setup.exe with the -keepdata parameter. Without this parameter, all the existing data in the HPC databases is erased during reinstallation, and all the cluster configuration information is lost.

Depending on the version of HPC Pack 2008 R2 that you are reinstalling on the head node, you may need to perform additional steps before the reinstallation to create integrated setup files (also called a slipstream installation) for HPC Pack 2008 R2. Choose the version of HPC Pack 2008 R2 that you want to reinstall:
