13:25:06 End Action : Run setup on cluster nodes
13:25:06 One or more errors occurred while running remote
setup on the clustered machines.
13:28:20 Setup failed to perform required operations on
the cluster nodes.
13:28:20 Begin Action : ClusterErrorCleanup
13:28:20 End Action : ClusterErrorCleanup
13:28:20 End Action : ClusterSetupHelper
Any idea?
check KB815431 and 321063 to see if that helps.

|||From the sqlstp.log it is clear that the unattended installation on both the nodes failed with return code 2

> 13:25:06 Installation return status on AVLNODO1 : 2
> 13:25:06 Installation return status on AVLNODO2 : 2
Error code 2 ==> "The system cannot find the file specified."
Next step will be to go the AVLNODO1 and AVLNODO1 and review the sqlstpN.log where N is an integer.
Cut and paste the sqlstpN.log if you need more help.
