I found instructions on msdn for moving the system databases. However I am worried that in a cluster which is active/passive, when I shut down the instance the other instance will take over. Is there a way to take the other server off line to do the move and then bring it back online after we've moved everything? Has anyone done this before?
View 4 RepliesToday we installed on MS Cluster (W2k3) and SQL Server 2000 a MSDTC Service. The installation was succesfull, but wenn we try to move the group, then it failed. Because we have only 2 Disks on the cluster one for the Quorum, the other for the Sql Server. We installed the MSDTC as a Resource on the Quorum Disk. The other Thing, wenn we start the firts node all is running on the first node, but we cannot move. Wenn we start the second node all is running on the second node, but we cannot move the Group which contain the Msdtc resource.
Who has a solution to this problem??
Thanks to all
Hi Everybody:
I need some instuctions about how to move a Microsoft cluster server from one network to the other.
I spent a few hours in Microsoft website and trie to find any document regarding reconfiguration of MSCS in different network, change IP address and any helpful procedures. I did not get anything. Would you please to give me any help document link, your experience or any workable procedures to move a MSCS from different network.
Thank you in advance for your assistants.

I have a SQL 2008 R2 2 node cluster. For DR testing, I need to restore an instance on a new server (completely isolated). The existing instance runs on what I would call an alias. The actual cluster host name is SQLPROD (cluster nodes are SQL01 and SQL02). The instance runs on server SQLPROD-APPLE. The instance is called APPLE. In production, I use SQL Management Studio and I connect to SQLPROD-APPLEAPPLE.
I've setup a new VM to run SQL. Not a cluster. Host name is SQLREC. The new Vm has all the IP addresses that were on the cluster and the DNS for all the aliases are correct. I've installed instance APPLE. I created an alias called SQLPROD-APPLE. When I try to open SQL Management Studio and connect, I can't connect to SQLPROD-APPLEAPPLE. I can connect to localhostAPPLE, SQLRECAPPLE, 192.168.168.50APPLE.
When I attempt to connect to the alias I get error 18452. Pinging the alias resolves correctly. I haven't gotten to the database restore yet, so that's not a concern. I'm just trying to validate the connection first with the correct server and instance names.
I'm using Windows Authentication.
We have:
A Microsoft cluster, (SQL Failover cluster) with one node as the domain controller. The cluster was built off site and the domain name used is the same as our existing domain where we eventually need to install this cluster.
We need: (At least I think we need:)
To remove node 2 from the "cluster domain", DCPROMO node 1 and eliminate the "cluster domain". We then need to join the cluster (nodes) to the existing domain. We also need to recreate the accounts/groups used during installation.
Questions:
1) What adverse impact will the removal of the "cluster domain" have on the security groups/accounts used in the installation?
2) Will I have to re-install SQL 2005?
3) Is my paranoia real or imagined? (Will Elvis live?) Am I on the right track or totally off base?
Any prior experience with this would be greatly appreciated. In fact, a WAG is appreciated too.
Regards,
Mike

Hi
We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.
Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?
Thanks

Hi,
I have an ASPNETDB.MDF (asp.net membership/profile db) that was generated for SQL Express, it has user information I need to keep.
I have SQLExpress and full SQL Server 2005 running on the server. I want to remove SQL Express from the server.
So can I simply do a backup of the SQL Express membership db and restore it to full SQL and change the connection string in my app or
do i need to run the membership wizard on full sql and then do the backup / restore?
Or is there another way.
Thanks
Hello
We have developed a database with a lot of information in and we are going to move this database from a Win XP with SQL 2005 Express to a Windows 2003 server with MS Sql Standard 2005. How can we do that?
We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2000 Server to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server at the same time. We want to keep downtime to a bare minimum.
What we were thinking was the following steps... Anyone try this?
1. Break the link between the servers.
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Restore a copy of a backup from the active production side to the node we're upgrading and at that point we would bring the active node down, switching the active node to be the newly upgraded server.
4. As a final step, the old active node would now have the link to it broken, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on it and sql server 2005. At this point we would bring it back into the cluster and the cluster would be complete again.
Thoughts?

how to move sql diagram from one sql server 2005 to another?
View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease could someone help?
I'm about to launch a website however I'm having trouble moving my SQL 2005 database from my development server (developer edition) to my web host server.
I'd like to do a backup/restore but I don't seem to have permission to do that - restricted to their directory for restore.
So I have done this in management studio:
1. Tasks -> Generate Scripts, Script all objects. On the development database.
2. Needed to remove the following lines since it errored otherwise when executing the script!
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'adaspnet')
CREATE USER [adaspnet] FOR LOGIN [PIRATEASPNET] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
3. Create new SQL 2005 database on host and ran the script.
4. Tasks -> Import Data. On the live database. It keeps crashing with "there is already an object named vw_aspnet_Applications" etc. I have got it to work by excluding all the vw_ entries from the import. It now works!!!
The question is this: Is what i've done ok? Is there a cleaner and better way etc?
I've only just started learning SQL server and therefore I'm a complete novice so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have an existing sql server 2000 installation on one server. I now need to take one 2000 DB and restore it to a new sql server 2005 installation (on a different server).
What is the best way to do this. I can not upgrade the sql server 2000 installation to 2005. Basically i hoping all i need to do is backup the 2000 db and then restore it on the new sql 2005 server.
Is this possible...thanks for all help.

Recently moved a couple of dbs from SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005 (different machine). Just restored the dbs on the new server from a full backup of the old one. Everything is fine but...
Some queries are returning out-of-order results (for records added since the migration). I tracked this down to the indexes. I completely rebuilt and reorganized the indexes (online) through the manager interface. This helped provide correct ordering for existing records, but new records added since the re index are still out-of-order.
Looking for a way to permanently fix the indexes so I don't have to constantly rebuild them.
Thanks.
Hello,
I need to move all log files for my SQL 2005 databases to another drive. I don't wish to shrink the files, I need to move the logs to another drive spindle. I did find an article (Article ID: 224071) that describes moving both the database and logs using sp_detach and then sp_attach. What is the best way just to move the logs to another drive on the same server, and that keeps the databases in their original location?
Thanks.
I have a simple SSIS package that I want to move data from SQL 2005 to DB2/AS400. In order to use OLEDDB destination, I installed HIS2004 that provides DB2OLEDB support.
For simplicity and testing purpose, I created a connection pointing to a SQL table that contains only one ccolumn "last_name" of type "nvarchar(50)". This is my source, I then created another connection using DB2OLEDB pointing to a table on DB2 that contains only one field "name" of type "GRAPHIC(50)". This is my destination and the connection works fine to DB2 database. When I run the package, it has type conversion error as follows:
[OLE DB Destination [34]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x00040EDA. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E07 Description: "Data or literal value could not be converted to the type of the column in the data source, and the provider was unable to determine which columns could not be converted. Data overflow or sign mismatch was not the cause.".
If I manually assign a vaule to the "last_name" using the "Derived Column" task like "Hello John", it just works fine.
Anyone knows what went wrong? Did I miss anything here? Thanks.
As a FYI: DTS works great in moving data from SQL 2000/2005 to DB2.
Your help will be appreciated.
I have Googled the terms 'move path change full-text index catalog' and have come up with nothing that pertains to SQL 2005...only 2000 and 7.0....
So my question remains, how the heck do you change the location of the full-text catalog in SQL 2005? Must I delete and re-create? If so is there a good article on this process? I don't want to loose data or screw anything up....I can't imagine I am the first person who wants to do his?????
Hi,
When i try to use the Microsoft OLE-DB Drive for oracle in import/Export Wizard, it gives me message that Oracle networking driver is missing. Contact Oracle for this information.
Any idea to further move on this. I am wondering, why SQL Server 2005 does not have that driver.
Thanks,
I have SQL server 2005 on a Windows 2003 machine. The machine is old and I need to move the entire SQL server to a new machine. There are many databases and users that need to move across to the new server. Detaching and attaching the databases would be tedious due to the large number of databases. Is there a way of moving the DB's and SQL users to the new machine without having to do each db one at a time?
Additional info that might be helpful:
The new server's IP address and name must also change to that of the old server.
The old server initially had SQL 2000 on it and was upgraded to SQL 2005.
The new server was installed with SQL 2005 only. Hence the Database and log paths differ between the old and new server.
Any help would be appreciated.

I need to move the SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) database and all jobs to the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
- May I detach and attach the DB in my case?
- Where is the procedure to move the jobs from MSDE to SQL Server
2005?
I just installed SQL 2005 on a new box. I want to move a database from a SQL 2000 server to the new server. Can I detach the database, copy it and attach it in the new server without having problems?
I'm concerned that if the datafile is in SQL2000 format, when I connect it to SQL2005 server, will it still be in old format or will it upgrade?....or is this something you don't worry about....and why?
Thanks,

HI,
I have problems with executing packages in the SQL Server 2005 and before I go into the details I would like to check, if my workflow is correct.
Can someone explain me the best way to move a package from BIDS to a SQL Server? I would like to store the packages in the SQL Server.
In addition if I login to Integration Services with SQL Server Management Studio I can see in the folder "stored packages" my package but I cannot view the folder "MSDB". Ususally I receive an error message from the named pipe provider, that I could not connect to the server (I am using Windows Authentication and my login is an administrator on the SLQ Server box)
