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 !

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 --

Soon, I will be migrating SQL cluster volumes from our old SAN to the new one. I have an idea of how to do it, but I just wanted some feedback. Yes, I know the best way would be to set up a new cluster using the new SAN and migrate the DB, but unfortunately I don't have that luxury. Here's my plan...
Add new storage to cluster, ensuring the drives are active cluster resources and dependencies match old resources
Back up DB
Shut down SQL Server
Copy all files & folders from old storage to new storage
Reassign drive letters to make new storage match old configuration
Start SQL Server
In theory, I think this will be fine because as long as SQL sees the correct drive letters, it should function properly. Just concerned about the quorum portion of the cluster.
Thanks!

I noticed in installing a SQL2005 failover cluster instance,that it is not necessary to install on both servers. Installing on the primary node automagically installs to the secondary node. Does this constitute a COMPLETE install? It all seems to work. BUT this process does not intall client pieces (SSMS, for instance) on the secondary node. If you want that stuff there, do you then go to that box and just do a client install?

I am trying to install SQL failover cluster on one of my nodes so it should install sql on the 2nd node. It keeps coming back saying setup failed to start on the remote machine. When I look in scheduled tasks it is listed as could not run. Can someone please help.

I have a Microsoft Cluster running on Server 2003 Entrprise. SQL 2000 8.00.2039 (SP4). 5gb physical memory installed.
With the databases online we run a test failover from the Cluster administrator. It takes about 30-40 seconds and completes without generating any Server Event log errors nor SQL log errors. Everything looks good from an administrative stand point.
However, when we test with running a series of queries to the databases, then failover, we notice that it can take up to 3 or 4 minutes before some of the databases will respond. Connections are not refused, they just sit there.
How can we troubleshoot this or does anyone have a similiar experience with this scenario?

Hi we have a two node windows 2003 x64 cluster, each running a SQL 2005 instance. I've added a new node to the cluster and am now trying to set up a new instance of SQL 2005 on the new node (node c). During the install i am getting a failure just after the stage where you choose the features to install. I'm selecting SQL database engine with Failover Cluster. When i click next i get a message which states:
"The drive specified cannot be used for program location. Program Files must be installed on a valid local disk available on all cluster nodes. The valid values are"
I've read a number of articles about possible causes for this and i've checked all the suggested causes but none of these have made a difference. The cluster disk resource is healthy and can be failed between all nodes in the cluster. No errors are generated. I am using an account which has domain admin rights and I can access all admin shares on all nodes. Some of the articles i have referenced are here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907261
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=913815
http://blogs.technet.com/mbaher/archive/2007/03/23/clustering-sql-2005-and-administrative-shares.aspx
I've tried uninstalling all components etc but still i can't get it to work. The next step is rebuilding the server completely so does anyone have any suggestions?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

I am tying to set up an SQL 2005, SP1 failover cluster on a new set of hardware. Everytime I try to run the install, I get this error
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
Setup failed to start on the remote machine. Check the Task scheduler event log on the remote machine.
I've gone through this doc (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189910.aspx) and checked all of the applicable cautions:
I don't have an antivirus package running.
All of the SQL setup pre-checks run fine.
I have a SQL Group created, with the shared drive as a resource.
NBT is disabled on both heartbeat NIC's.
NBT is explicitly enabled on both external NIC's.
While I do have DDNS running, just to be safe I've pre-created an A record for my SQL VR.
Both nodes are registered in DNS and Setup correctly finds the second node.
In the Application event log on the second node (the one failing...), I get MSI Installer 'Install Started' successes (and sometimes I even get "Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Installation completed successfully.")
I am running the install as myself, a Domain Admin and am explicitly added to the Administrators group on both servers.
Remote Registry is running.
Task Scheduler is running.
There is plenty of space everywhere.
All of the Admin shares are enabled.
The node I am running the install from is the owner of all of the cluster groups and resources:
Cluster group
MSDTC group
SQL group
This is all that is in my setup log:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06
==============================
OS Version : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 3790)
Time : Tue Nov 06 16:45:52 2007
Task did not appear to start on machine: \ERLEW01B: 267013
I'm at a total loss and I'm getting very frustrated...

Hi,
We have configured two SQL Server 2005 in a cluster (without Witness).
We have severals ASP (using ADO) that are connecting to SQL Server 2005 with SQL Native Client in a DSNLess connection String :
driver={SQL Native Client}; server=MAINMAIN; Failover Partner=BCKUPBCKUP; uid=log;pwd=pwd;database=MyBase
When using this connection string, the connection to MAIN is alrigth, but when we simulate a unavailability situation on "MyBase" or on the entire MAIN instance, the new connection are joining the MAIN and not the BCKUP SQL Server.
We tryed several Connection Strings including Failover_Partner, Initliag Catalog instead of database... but no one succed in joining the BCKUP SQL Server.
I precise that the DNS on the PC that connect to SQL server is configured and both MAIN and BCKUP are resolved in command line or in explorer.
Is there an other driver that must be used, or is there an other parameter to set in the connection string ?
Regards.

Hello All, I am trying the following script to upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP1 to SP2. I have an Active Passive cluster configuration. I have default instances of SQL Server. I am using the following script.
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /allinstances /quiet.
The sql server install fails to run. When I used the above command with just
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /quiet still the summary.txt file came with authentication success and that is all. I changed the above script and did
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /instancename=instancename of the cluster
This worked, however the install patched the passive node (DB engine, all the cluster unaware components) but failed to patch the DB engine on the Active node. I had to run the SQL Server sp2 install manually but still it did not patch the DB engine on the primary node
1. Can someone please help me with this issue as I want the unattended install to work. so it installs both active and passive node. I will post the final output and also the ADS script to do this as a bonus if this works.
Here is the summary.txt file.

Curious on how this will work.. if i install sql 2005 standard edition on one virtual server.. to a fixed disk (actually 2 fixed disks.. one for C, one for D).. then install another 2005 standard edition on another virtual server.. do i just rerun the setup and suddenly the failover cluster option will NOT be greyed out?
Can anyone comment on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello all,
I am intsalling SQL 2005 in an activepassive cluster. The OS is Windows 2003 with SP1. Everything installs OK but the sql server service cannot start afterwards. There are many access errors in the Security Event log - see example below - and numerous "SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. " errors in both the SQL and Application event logs. I have tried installing SQL in both mixed mode and under Windows Authentication and get the same errors. I can install SQL 2005 outside of the cluster on both nodes. Other items of note: This was a SQL 2000 cluster. I uninstalled SQL 2K, the virtual name was changed (IP remained the same) and the DNS entry was updated to reflect the new name. Early in the installation process - 3 or 4 days ago - I got a few errors about the Server Principal Name had to be updated but when I do a setspn -l the both nodes are listed and the entries look fine, though there are no entries for the sql service (MSSQLSvc). Not sure if there should be entries for the virtual name, but there aren't any for either the old or new name. Does the new virtual name need to be added to AD? Here is the security error - Event ID is 560 and it looks like there's a problem with Remote Access and is generated when trying to access either node:
Category: Object Access
Type: Failure Audit
Event_ID: 560
User: NT AuthorityNetwork Service
Object Open:
Object Server: SC Manager
Object Type: SERVICE OBJECT
Object Name: RemoteAccess
Handle ID: -
Operation ID: {0,134558507}
Process ID: 1516
Image File Name: C:WINDOWSsystem32services.exe
Primary User Name: CM-OHCO-DS006B$
Primary Domain: SWNA
Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)
Client User Name: NETWORK SERVICE
Client Domain: NT AUTHORITY
Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E4)
Accesses: Query status of service
Privileges: -
Restricted Sid Count: 0
Access Mask: 0x4
One other informational message that may be of use - looks like there's a problem with dll's for remote access, though this isn't pertaining to SQL:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( srmservice ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: srmservice error: 0, Started the agent (srmagent.exe)..

Has Microsoft planned anything of its own for this ?

I am planning to migrate sql server 2000 databases to sql server 2005(sql server 2005 in a separate box) .I have few questions regarding the migration:
1. Do I have to run Upgrade wizard on 2000 even though I am not upgrading my sql server?
2.Which other databases do I need to move in addition to the user databases. (i.e. do i have to move any system databases?).
3. What do I need to do to move sql server logins with the password to the new machine?
Thanks.

I've got the responsibility over a small SQL server with 8 Database and approx. 100GByte data online. Most database are used and need to be available 24*7*366. Also a number of local data transformation packages are defined and used on a regular basis. Furthermore a number of third party applications rely on this database.
My question if it is worth the effort to migrate this to 2005? I know there are all kinds of nice migration wizards but do they really work? What if one of the 3rd party apps don't like 2005?
Love to hear both good and bad experiences migrating -> 2005 .

Initially, the articles I read suggested that doing an "in place" upgrade is the simplest path, with the drawback that if something goes wrong, I'll have to re-install 2000. And that migrating is more difficult since I'll have to recreate all the logins , security, replication ....
Then I saw a series of posts saying migration is the best ... backup & restore (or detach, reattach) the DBs to a new instance of SQL 2005. What about the systems DBs, such as MSDB and the DTS packages ?? Also, If I migrate to a new instance of SQL, how will I re-establish the connections from other servers ? They are replicating or DTS-ing to ServerA, but now SQL2005 is on ServerASQL2005 (Same server, different instance.
In the scale of things, we have fairly simple environments, although our Production database is almost 300 Gig.
If I install a new instance of SQL 2005 on my SQL 2000 server, and migrate everything from 2000 to 2005, I now have 2 instances: ServerA and ServerASQL2005. All my other servers are referencing the original instance name of ServerA. How do I resolve that problem so that communication between the other servers will still work ??

Hi all, in my current environment, I have a single server SQL 2000 setup that's being replaced. I'm in the process of installing a new SQL 2005 cluster with the thought of taking advantage of 2005 mirroring and clustering, but have a few questions.
1. My thinking is that I can migrate my 2000 databases to 2005, but leave the databases in 8.0 (2000) mode. Are there any issues with this? I know they won't take advantage of the 2005 performance boost
2. Some of the apps don't support 2005 yet so I need to leave them in 2000 mode until they do. Is SQL 2005 fully backwards compatible with a SQL 2000 database?
3. Will mirroring work on SQL 2005 with a database that is still in 2000 mode?
Thanks for any assistance with this!

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.

I've got about 2 months worth of daily databases created in SQL Express 2005 for a pilot project, which the client is converting to a purchase. Unfortunately they're using SQL Server 2000 and I can't figure out how to migrate the databases to the older version. All my searching turns up how to do it in the expected direction.
Any pointers to how or where to search appreciated.
Thanks,
