Is This Cluster Configuration Possible In SQL Server 2000?
Jan 29, 2008
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

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
Priyanka

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?

I have two Windows 2000 servers (Advance Edition) to form a Windows Cluster. I also install MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on the cluster to form a MS SQL cluster. Now, I want to upgrade the hardware and OS (but keep on using SQL 2000), so I install Windows 2003 server Enterprise Edition on two new servers to form a new Windows Cluster. I am planing to install MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on the new cluster, so the old SQL cluster and new SQL cluster are side by side. I would like to know how to setup a new SQL cluster (I know it has problem to rename SQL Cluster name, so how to fix this problem)? And how to transfer everything (such as system databases, users database, sql user account, password and maintenance plan jobs etc) from old SQL cluster to new SQL cluster? And how to switch over from old SQL cluster to new SQL cluster?
Thanks a lot !

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?

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,

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.

We have 2 SQL servers in a failover cluster environment. SQL1 and SQL2. Currently SQL1 is the primary in the cluster, and we need to upgrade from Service Pack 3 to Service Pack 4.
Our setup:
Both servers are Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition.
Both servers have SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3.
My question is:
Which upgrade plan do I take? Do I:
1. Upgrade the backup (offline) server in the cluster (SQL2) first, reboot, then failover from SQL1 to SQL2? Then do the other server?
2. Upgrade the primary (online) server in the cluster (SQL1) first and see if it replicates to the backup?
Any advice or tips would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2003 Server 32 - bit Standard to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003 64-bit Enterprise. Our existent cluster's databases are residing on SAN. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2003 32-bit Server to Windows 2003 64-bit Enterprise 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. Or should we just evict the passive node?
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64-bit server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2003 32-bit Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Bring the active server down.
4. Create new cluster on the newly upgraded server and assign the same cluster name and IP as the original one.
5 Bring the luns from SAN to the newly upgraded server and initialize SQL Upgrade
6. As a final step, the old active node will be rebuilt, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64 - bit 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.

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.
[Error Message] To support SQL Server multi-subnet failover clustering, you must select at least one valid IP address for every subnet in the cluster.

Hi,
We have a new failover cluster (Windows 2003 SP1, Microsoft SQL 2000 SP4) with each node of the cluster hosting 7 SQL Server instances in a 2-node active-active configuration connected to a SAN. We are planning to move some SQL Server Instances(from existing stand-alone servers) into this Cluster. Any insight into the process of moving SQL Servers into the cluster would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,

Hey guys,
Lately we have come across a problem where our application is undergoing some extreme load against the SQL 2000 server database we have setup, where the server is hitting 100% CPU utilization each time. Currently the box is a 2 processor box.
Here is the question I have. I have seen under most SQL Server clusters that an active/passive setup is implemented. Where the passive server just exists as a failover mechanism. What I am looking for is some information on how to setup active/active setup where each server receives processes to handle.
Has anyone created a setup like this? Are there any standard benchmarking tools that can be used to see how this configuration increases performance? Is this setup more favorable than going to a 4 processor server as oppossed to our current 2 processor server?
BTW: We have noticed that after a web application where the user sits idle for a while the SQL Server application loses the connection with the application user...Is this the SQL Timeout causing the connection to disconnect?
Thanx for any response...

I have a production failover cluster running SQL Server 2000 at SP3that I want to upgrade to SP4. I do not have a test failover clusterto test with so I need the install on the primary server to work thefirst time. Per the information I have I just install the patch on theprimary server and it will install both on the primary and on thesecondary.However, I remember when I did the initial install and it failed. Thefirst problem traced to the fact that the install uses temporary filesunder the profile of the installing administrator and the id had neverlogged into the second server so the install failed on creating thetemporary file. The was a second problem that related to an OS featurethat had to be off for the install to work.If anyone out there has done this upgrade and remembers encountering aproblem and its fix/workaround I would appreciate a head up warning.Thank you-- Mark D Powell --

We have a sql2000 clustered server running on a windows 2003 cluster, today we noticed that the
SQL resources where in a Online Pending state and do not came up anymore.
I have searched the net and found some info about the sqlstate = 08001 Native error 11 , witch indicated that the SQL Network name could have been renamed , however this is not the case here , .
i also found that there might be Resolve issue but The Cluster Name and the SQL Network name can be resolved by both Cluster nodes ..
does anyone here got experience with this kind of problem ? Pls Help

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 plan to migrate a SQL 2000 instance with everything in it to another SQL2000 server, and eventually in the future to SQL 2005.
I've pretty much figured out how to migrate everything execept the linked server configuration (there're many linked servers configured in the old server with different security credentials). I'm wondering if there's way I can save the linked server configuration and restore it to the other server.
Thanks much.

We shall be taking a bunch of 7.0 instances and moving/upgrading to a SQL 2000 cluster server. I was thinking of creating new named instances on the 2000 cluster and upgrading each 7.0 server to it's respective named instance. Also thought of using the 2000 copy database wizard; I was told this didn't always work. Anyone hear of problems with this?

Hello.
Has anyone attempted and successfully installed SQL Server 2000 SP4
via remote desktop on the cluster.
The reason I am asking is that SP4 readme file has this:
"...
4.3 Systems Management Server Distributed Installation
You cannot install Database Components SP4 from a remote location.
..."
Currently SQL Server has SP3a installed.
Thank you in advance.

We are running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on a 2-node cluster with IIS/ASP.NET front-end hosting 150-200 active connections. There is a SVCHOST process running under LOCAL SERVICE account - hosting the Remote Registry process that is using only 4,200K but is page faulting 200-500 times per second. I realize this process is used for failover, but the page fault seems excessive. Any thoughts on this?
The servers are running Windows Server 2003 with 4 processors and 4gb RAM.

I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 edition cluster setup and functioning normally. Now, I am trying to get SQL Server 2000 installed as a failover cluster but am having some difficulty. When installing, I get the message '[sqsrvres] ODBC sqldriverconnect failed' in the event log. The message happens when the installer is trying to bring the SQL Server Service resource online.
I am able to ping the name of the instance successfully. I am able to manually start the 'MSSQL$InstanceName' service. I have turned off the firewall on both machines, but this did not help. I have the DTC Service setup as a resource in the same cluster group.
I also read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815431 which seemed promising, but did not reolve the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have upgraded our test server and on non cluster production machine. My next server is a cluster and I don't have a test cluster server. Do I upgrade the active node and that is all or am I going to need to fail it over and upgrade the other node.
Also the prerequesite for the upgrade advisor is .net 2.0 I am going to up that on each server one at a time but I am only going to add the upgrade advisor to one node is that ok.
I read the SP1 documentation and it clearly states only patch the active node and do not patch the inactive nodes.

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.
