Dear All,
I've the quorum disk of my cluster on win2003 full and I cannot use The cluster administrator because the Service Cluster cannot going up.
Obviously the shared disk (included Quorum) and MSDTC are not visible and I'm wondering if is possible to solve the problem without rebuild the cluster.
Thank you to everybody
Hello,
I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm trying to install a server cluster to implement an SQL Server 2005 cluster. No other services (I think this is important).
I've a dual SCSI channel Smart Array with 4 disks configured in a 400Gb RAID 5.
I do not need to move different resource groups from one node to the other, I need only one group with all the resources IP, Network name, MSDTC, and SQL Server..., when a node fails, all services should failover to the other node.
Is it possible to have only one physical disk (RAID 5) for Quorum disk and shared disk?
It would be the following configuration:
[Groups]
Cluster Group
IP Address
Network Name
Physical disk (used for quorum and shared storage)
Distributed Transaction Coordinator
SQL Server
SQL Server Agent
Generic Service (SQL Server Fulltext)
The other option would be having a 1 physical disk Raid 0 for Quorum (146Gb wasted) and another physical disk Raid 5 (3 disk) for Shared Storage, but this schema will have a a flaw point that if Quorum disk fails, the cluster fails....
Any help would be appreciate.
Best regards.
Ilde.
Dear All,
I am trying to setup clustering for SQL 2005. I initially want to setup a 2 node cluster in Active/Active Configuration.
I am trying to understand the Quorum disk in SQL 2005. As I understand the quorum disk is a shared resource. How is this resource configured? Would I need to have an iSCSI or fibrechannel connection from each of the nodes to the shared disk?
As well, does each node have a separate data drive? Or do all the nodes use only the shared storage?
Thank you.
Quick question re a 2008 failover cluster with Node and Disk Majority:
Under healthy conditions does it matter which node owns the Quorum disk?
My understanding was that the quorum disk should be owned by the active node, in the same way that it owns the active data/log disks?
I've just finished off setting up a cluster and noticed that the quorum seems to want to be held by the passive node.
I've attempted to move it to the active node but nothing seems to happen.
I have a windows 2012 cluster environment that consists of two SQL servers nodes with Quorum disk configured as witness.
Manual failover between nodes is working fine, however the sql instance virtual is not seeing the Quorum disk.
Moreover the Quorum disk has the same number as another cluster storage disk, is that considered a problem?
When I move the SQL instance from a node to anohter, should the Quorum Disk change ownership as well to that destination node ? if it is not changing ownership what would be the problem??
Hi all,
I have a problem...
I use SQL server 2000,all the disk on computer is used to store data file and transaction log file, and now they are full so data can be insert or update because the data file and transaction log file can be add more or increase, please show me.
Best regard,
My logfile has grow the disk full - the logfil is 25 gb and I have 4 gb free.
I can't shrink the log fil !
Can I set the log file to null ??
I have backup my datafil successfully!
Help!
Does anyone know how to send a notification, using SQL Agent Alert,
if disk space gets to a certain level on the various server
hard drives?
thanks!
My data folder of SQL as filled up the space of my local drive. I have 150KB free space left in the drive. So I have to delete some records to regain space. But when I run the delete query it says transaction log is full and stops halfway. How can I free space? How can I delete the records? There is no available space to shrink as well.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy SQL server disk space is getting close to full capacity which is causing certain reports that we run via the SQL server to time out because I don't think there is enough space on the server.
Any tips on cleaning out a SQL server? Are there any folders that can absolutely be deleted to clear space? I know on a local computer that the %temp% folder can be cleaned out. I know when dealing with servers you do not want to make to many changes because it can cause major problems down the road.
has anyone met with this before?the setting is SQL2K with SP3 on a 2 node active-active W2K3 cluster.on one of the machine, it occasionally prompts for the following error:"The log file for database "tempdb" is full. Back up the transactionlog for the database to free up some log space."the problem is, at the time of error, the tempdb tx log is only 200MBand there are over 50G disk space available.settings of tempdb:-- 10% autogrow, unlimited max size-- auto shrink off-- data file around 1GThanks.

hello,all
I am new to Sql 2000,I installed sql 2000 database in C disk,but Now I found my C disk space is smaller than before,So I want to move my databse(include data and structure) from C Disk to D Disk(its space is very large) .
is it possible to do it ?
if its can be done ,do I need to change my asp.net program source code (exp: chaneg my crystal report connectstring ) ?
thanks in advanced!
In reading material on the quorum drive on a sql server cluster in mentions this is the drive the logs are written to. Is this referring to sql log files that are dumped by a process or scheduled job, or some other log files?

Disk Queue Length, and those values are 10, 0, 87 respectively, which value do I use to compute the Avg. Disk Queue Length for a 4 disk array(RAID 10): Average, Minimum, or Maximum?

We are trying to setup a Windows Server 2003 Cluster with 2 systems and a DAV. We intend to install SQL 2005 on this Cluster. We purchased a DAV with 3 physical disk arrays as follows.
73GB RAID 1 (our plan is to use this to store sql transaction logs)
146GB RAID 1 (sql backups, temp database & other temp files)
420GB RAID 10 (sql databases)
Now as we are setting all this up we find out we need a shared physical drive on the DAV to store the Quorom. It is my understanding we cannot partition the physical drives and use one of the partitions to store the Quorum because when you create the resource for the Quorum the resource is the phsyical disk not the partition.
So my question is, is it in our best interest to buy a seperate physical disk for the Quorom?
My next question is, with regards to the MSDTC, is it in our best interest to buy a seperate physical disk for the MSDTC or can we store it on the 146GB RAID 1 and still use the drive for its original purpose?
Any guidance is much appreciated.

I have a cluster using Always on on 2012 and i have set up a Witness file share which losts connectivity the other day and a failover was invoked.
Is there a threshold i can change so that the cluster can try a couple of more times to connect before it fails over ?
Hello,
this is my configuration :
1) 3 disks in RAID5 that hold the SQL data
2) 1 disk in RAID0 that holds the only paging file.
What will happen to the SQL data (DB) when the disk that holds the paging file crashes?
Kindest regards,
Luc.
I'm just starting to work with AlwaysOn Availability and WSFC.
I have in my environment (in Azure) a DC, WSFC and to SQL instances, so I have 3 nodes in my Failover Cluster:
WSFC
SQL1
SQL2
If I simulate failure by shutting down one of the SQL boxes my Availability group seamlessly fails over to the other SQL instance - which is great.
However, I'm starting to look into the workings of the Quorum, my envt has the default settings and when I shutdown both of my SQL servers I expected the Cluster itself to go offline as 2 out of the 3 votes will be negative, but the Cluster is still up - Screenshot below when SQL1 and SQL2 are shutdown:
Going through the Wizard (but not changing anything) it shows following config:
We are planning to 2014 migration in few days.
ServerA----- ServerA1
ServerB---- ServerB1
In serverA we have 5databases. And making 5databases as availability group. The replica is ServerA1
In server B we have 3 databases. And the making those 3 databases as an availibility group. The secondary replica is ServerB1.
What is the best option to configure the quoram drive in this situation.
Also Server A1 & Server B1 also we use for reporting purposes.
We have some sensitive data. Is it possible to delete the data while reading the data?
How the memory optimization feature work with always on?
Hi all,
Ok here goes,
I have a three tier system using SQL server 2000, we are currently experiencing IO bottle necks on our SCSI Raid 10 array, which holds the Data and the logs in separate partitions.
So my options as I understand it are:
Get Enterprise edition
or
Get another physical raid 10 array and separate the logs and data i.e. data on one array and logs on the other array.
I would like to try the latter but I am totally unsure how much difference this will make or whether it will make any difference at all.
Does anyone know how much performance increase I will get from using two arrays as opposed to one?
Any other advice on this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have sql server 2000. I copied a database from one server to another. I have one table that has a full-text index. When I transferred over the database, the index still existed, but was not populated. I made sure the path for the file is pointing to a new correct location. I did "start full population". It only populated one entry @ 1MB. On the old server the index is 100MB with more than 3 million records.
I tried rebuilding, re-creating, and it all works, but when I run "start full population", it only populates 1 record. I double checked the table in question and it has over 3 million records and proper primary key.
How do I resolve this.
We will move t-log from one disk to another one. I tried Alter Database and found it did not work for log.
Can somebody give me a method about moving log from different disks?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have a server and it has C: D: F: I: Drives and all the system files are on C:Drive and and all the .MDF's and .LDF's(model,temp,master) are on the F: Drive and now I am running out of space on both(C: and F: Drives)
1. Can we add space to the C: and F: drives on the fly?.
2. Can I move the System databases ( MDF's and LDF's to some other drive)and if so, how do I do it?( Moving the databases ) and this is on the production database so when I have to do this.Will there be any impact.
Thanks in Advance,

Does anyone know how to get the free disk space for all drives in many different SQL servers.
I need to populate a report (right now output in Excel) with the free disk space of all drives on all of my SQL servers.
I found xp_fixeddrives but that is specific for the server where it is executed.
Any help or pointers to a script in the archives is much appreciated.
Thanks.
One of my production servers has been determined to be 92% fragmented.
What's the proper procedure for defraging a database server?

We need a drive cloning app, like Ghost, that will allow us to transfer a production image off of a HDD to other PCs. The problem with this is that
our production needs SQL in order to run and transferring the initial image to uniquely named workstations causes DB registration problems. Is there
an app that will allow us to configure this transferred image so that SQL will refer to the "new" drive instead in of the "old"?
Hello,
We are experiencing high disk i/o on one of our RAID disk systems. Can someone tell me how I can identify the query or user or process which is causing this high disk i/o?
Thanks,

I noticed something strange today. I was running a query using query analyzer on a large database (8.8 million records) and the disk space on the c: drive was dropping and eventually went to 0. Availalbe space on the c: drive is 10GB. The query did complete. SQL server and all the databases are on the d: drive. After closing the query results in query analyzer the disk space returned. Is this a concern and is there a way to change it to use the d: for whatever it is doing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat's the best way to find out if disk fragmentation on Windows 2000 Server is affecting SQL Server performance?
If disk fragmentation is shown to be a cause of performance problems, what are the recommendations for a disk fragmentation strategy? eg. use the win 2000 built in disk defrag utility or buy a 3rd party product like DiskKeeper? How much of an overhead is a product like DiskKeeper that defrags in the background?
