Ideally we'd like to configure our SQL cluster w/ the databases on one drive and the logs on another. Is this feasable in a cluster solution.. Will it basically just be 2 drives that are failed over vs. 1?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a SAN and configuring a cluster on SQL 2005. I initially created a Quorum drive when setting up the cluster and now added 4 more drives to the physical node but when I try to install SQL that drive cannot be located.
Do we need to create all the drives when installing the cluster or what is the way to add the drives later on.
Thanks

Environment: Windows Advanced Server with SP2. SQL 2K Enterprise edition with SP2.
There are three disk drives in my shared array named E:, F:, and H:.
When I use EM (Enterprise Manager) to create a job (like a backup job), the drop down box contains only drive F:.
Drive F: was the drive specified during the install process for data files.
Drive C: and D: also exist. Drive D: was specified during the install process for the program files.
It seems to me that drop down boxes in EM which show disk drives should actually show me the following drives: C:, D:, E:, F:, and H:.
Any ideas why EM may not be showing all the disk drives.

In a two node cluster, is it possible to change from a Active-Passive configuration to Active-Active without completely reinstalling?
Thanks
I have SQL 7 running on an Active/Passive Cluster configuration. My problem is that I can not see any
SQL objects listed on perfmon.
Can this be because of the Cluster configuration? I trying to run perfmon directly from the main system console.
Thanks,

Hi, could someone tell me if this configuration is possible?
Machine A: Instance 1 (ACTIVE) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine B: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (ACTIVE) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine C: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (ACTIVE)
I know that it is possible with 2 machines with the clasical solution of Machine1: active-passive, Machine2: passive-active, this way if one of the machines goes down the other one will take the job of both instances, but I dont know if this solution is possible in SQL server 2000 with 3 instances at the same time.
Help please? thanks
Hey. I've 2 nodes in this activeactive cluster. Both of them have 20gb memory. Right now, both are configured to use 12gb each. Is that the right way to configure it? I was thinking we'll have IO issues if we ever failed over to a server. I've to migrate to SQL 2005 and needed some help regarding using accounts.
Should I use the same account for the cluster service and the SQL Server/Agent service? If not what are the permissions I've to give to the cluster service account in SQL? I've a cluster with 2 nodes. What permissions should the SQL account be given on the box? Should it be a local admin or when installing, I give it the account and let SQL worry about giving permissions to the box?
Thank you.
I have a 2 node cluster in an active/active configuration. Install is SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition x64, patched to KB934458
If I try and run SQL Server Configuration Manager on node 1 the application does not start and I get the following message: "Connection to target machine could not be made in a timely fashion." This happens for both SQL Server instances (SQL01 and SQL02).
I can connect fine on the 2nd node with both instances.
Further to this, if I try and run the Surface Area Configuration tool on node 1 - I can't connect to either SQL Instance (SQL01 and SQL02)
If I run the SAC tool on the second node, I can connect to the instance SQL02 that is active on node 2. If I fail that SQL Instance over to node 1, I can no longer connect
I think there is clearly something not quite right about node 1.
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I have installed SQL Server 2012 on Node1 successfully and trying add node on Node2 and its failing with below message. I attached the screen shot.
Here we are not doing multi-subnet failover clustering. Why we are getting extra and asking for IP and what IP should we enter there?Add Node option should automatically detect the IP we configured on Node1.

Hi all,
I have an issue with an SQL cluster.
I have two MS Windows 2003 Server Ent Ed. SP2 in cluster. They have MS SQL Server 2005 in cluster.
I have created and endpoint and when I try to access I get the attached error in client machine. This problem only occurs in cluster configuration, because the same installation in an SQL (no cluster) works fine.
EventID: 4 Source: Kerberos
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/fra-lille-hel03.ea.holcim.net. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (EA.HOLCIM.NET), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
Anybody knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advanced.
I am trying to install the MS SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2012 . I successfully Installed the Failover cluster instance on my primary node.
But when I am running the installation process on passive node to add node in the failover cluster I am stuck with very unique kind of issue.
I am following the Standard process of Installation and I am getting the same windows for each next process, but after License Agreement window when I get the Cluster Node Configuration window, then in "SQL Server Instance Name" drop down box I am not getting the Name of Instance which is already installed on the primary node. But this Instance complete information is appearing in below given box.
Only issue is Instance name is not appearing in the drop down list, that's why I am not able to select and when I click on next it trough error and do not proceed.
I am trying to run a program called NVivo7, which - when I install - also requires installation of SQL Server. Because my C drive is small (and nearly full), I am trying to run NVivo7 off my D drive, though SQL seems to install on C. Is it possible, do you think, to use 2 different drives in this way, or do both the program and the Server need to be on the same one? If so, is there any way to get them both on D?

So i'm not really new, but got a question. i've recently been looking to to the Western Digital Raptor Drives.
as far as performance, it's always been my understanding that the speed of the hard drive is just about always the bottle-neck of a computer. i'm currently running 2 stripped WD 500gb SATA drives for my SQL server (dual Xeon 2.8 with 2GB memory).
i'm thinking of upgarding to 4 WD Raptors (10k RPM) drives, the new 150GB models. anyone have an opionion? do you think i'll get a large performance increase?
the database that i run queries off of now is about 125 Million names, with about 80 fields in width. so it's rather large, and usally takes a fair abount of time to get my results back (we're talking anywhere from a minute, to half the day.)
do you think the raptors will slim that down significantly?
We recently installed SQL Server 2005. The server has 3 drives. When I try to restore a database I can only access the C: drive. How do I make the D: and E: drives visible in the "locate folder" window?
Hi,
Can someone help me, I installed SQL 2005 Enterpirse Editon on windows clustered servers. Then after the installation
I want to change the path of my DB logs but the problem was, I can not see the other drives. I can see only the drive where the DB was located. Is there any special configurations that should be done.
Thanks.

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I don€™t know what caused this. Anyone has any idea? Please help! Below is the Installation Report which shows installed components.

Hi ,
We are having 4 sql7 servers. All are in network only.
serverA: drives c,d
serverB: drives c,e
serverC: drives c,d
serverD: drives c,d,f
Now my question i want map all the drives to each other. So that i can use the space wherever available, because in serverA i dont have space but in ServerC have lot of free space.
Can anyone pls tell me in detail how we have to map the drives.
Thanks
--Siva
Hi, I'm looking for a way to check the free space left on the hard drives and then if needed send an alert to notify when we need to free up some space. I played around with the performance monitor and realized I could do it that way but I think you would have to leave the performance monitor running all the time and I'm not sure if I want to do that. I also read about the xp_fixeddrives proc that displays how much free space is available but then I don't know what to do from there? Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I mapped a drive on to my SQL Server box. It points to another server from the same domain. When I try to backup or restore a database, I can't see this mapped drive through my SQL Server. Even if I type the entire path, SQL Server wouldn't take it. I don't have a clue about why it is not working. Can anyone throw some light on this. Your help is grately appreciated.

Hi,
Why we allocate .mdf and .ldf on seperate drives?
Please tell me a proper logical reason behind it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL 2000 server that is installed on a Dual Xeon server running win2k. The server has two raid 5 hard drives, a C drive and an E drive.
The C drive is currently where the operating system files are stored as well as the SQL program files. As things stand there are SQL DB and transaction logs strewn between these two drives with no particular logic.
My question is, with two drives as it stands how should I move things around to gain the best performance? For example, should I keep all my data on the E drives and all my transaction logs on the C drives with the OS and the program files?
There are about 10 Databases in use. One database run's the configuration for proprietary predictive dialing software. The other databases are calling information for each campaign we run within the dialing software.
I have enough space on both drives to accommodate the data, its performance I would like to see a difference in.
SQL Windows Server: 2008 R2
SQL: 2008 R2
Problem: I have following drives on this server, Is there a query that I can run daily which will show us the % full and remaining storage capacity on these drives?
Logs(L)
Data(M)
Tempdb(T)
I would like to run that query on all of my servers to get a daily report.
I have a 75 GB hard drive and a 300 GB. I want to mirror the 75 to the 300 and use the extra space as data storage. Is this possible if I partition the 300 and then mirror the hard drives.

I'm trying to attach to a database that's stored in my D: partition on my disk. The disk has partitions C: D: E: F:
But when I choose "Attach", and open the requester to select the database-file, only drives C: and E: are shown.
All other programs lists the partitions right.
Where have D: and F: gone to ?
I ran the Advanced cluster preparation for a new sql instance on an existing cluster.
Slq Server 2012.
After is completed, it was successful, I realized I specified the wrong Instance Root directory.
Is it possible to remove what the preparation installed? Or is it possible to change the root directory?
Can I build a cluster by adding the cluster service, then the SQL instances, then add the other nodes and their passive SQL instances?I would lean to building the cluster first, the add the SQL instances.
