Attempting to run the SharePoint 2010 Configuration Wizard through PowerShell (New-SPConfigurationDatabase) yielded the following error:

New-SPConfigurationDatabase : SQL server at CLSHPT2010SQL has an unsupported version 10.0.2531.0. Please refer to “http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=165761″ for information on the minimum required SQL Server versions and how to download them.

I had never installed the latest cumulative update for SQL Server 2008 after completing my cluster configuration. The fix is simple. Install the Cumulative update package 2 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (KB970315).
