I cannot start my SQL 7.0 database server. It is a virtual server on a cluster.
I wish to use rebuildm.exe to build a system table and apply a restore.
How does this effect my clustered database.
Does changes to the undelying databases propagate to the virtual clustered database.
Will it render my virtual database useless.
I need help on this matter.
What has been your experience, if any using this utility? Is it a last resort thing? I recently ran it to repare the master db and now all my user database no longer appear. I'm sure I can reattach them though. Should I also restore the backup copy of master db that was last known good? All my maintenance plans, etc, no longer appear.
Any ideas why the master could become corrupt?
During execution of rebuildm I receive the following
errors logged to the cnfgsvr.out file:
driver={sql
server};server=AGRTESTDB;UID=sa;PWD=;database=mast er
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]General
network error. Check your network documentation.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]
ConnectionRead (recv()).
My server is down; anyone have any information on this
error and how to continue rebuild? (Alternatively of
course I could simply reinstall SQL.)
Thx,
Al

We are preparing Disaster recovery plans, and I need to recover the SQL servers. When testing this, I have run REBUILDM, and then set sql to single user and attempted restore of master. I receive error messages:

Subsequent attempt cause the same, UNLESS i reapply SP2 (the version running when the Master was backed up)
Is this a requirment or am I missing something??
Thanks in advance

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.

can we join a node in a windows cluster which is already in a different cluster?
We have this requirement as we need to setup readable secondary ( always on AG) on the third node.
We are planning to change all IPs of PRODUCTION Failover Cluster Setup. In my cluster setup ... we have 2 Physical Nodes with windows-2008, Roles are MSDTC and SQL-2008R2.
IP change for:
1. Both Nodes(Physical)
2. MSDTC
3. SQL Server
4. windows Cluster
So Almost... All IPs are going to change.
Im DBA here, I need to take care of SQL cluster and MSDTC. But I haven't performed this activity before.So I'm worrying about Impacts and consequences of this change. steps how should I perform this activity.
Hi all,
We have many tables which have cluster index on column with datatype 'Char(200)'.

Wanted to know about difference between cluster and non cluster index with example.
When to use cluster index and non cluster index .
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Access](
[AdminID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FnID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_AccessFn] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
[Code] ....
why the cluster and non cluster indexed created on the same key?

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

We have (had) an active/active cluster. 2 physical machines,
each running their own instance, clustered together. Node1/Ins1 and Node2/Ins2.
Node2 failed and Ins2 failed over to Node1 as it should. Node2 required that we
rebuild the server (rebuild = reinstall O/S). Now we need to get Node2 back
into the cluster and get Ins2 failed back over to Node2.
Does anyone know, for certain, the correct steps to accomplish this? Obviously,
we could backup everything and completely destroy Ins2 and recreate it on Node2
then rejoin the cluster. But I'm looking for something less destructive.
Is it possible to reinstall SQL, then rejoin the cluster, and then fail Node2
over? Or will there be registry conflictions?
Any help would be appreciated. Also, if you have any links to some official
documentation, that would be great too.
Thanks
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?

Can the SQL Cluster Virtual IP be the same as the cluster IP?
Can I set up the cluster like:
Node 1:10.0.0.1
Node 2:10.0.0.2
MSCS Shared:10.0.0.3
SQL Virtual:10.0.0.3
or do they need to be unique?
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 !
According to microsoft, we can cluster SSIS service but it is NOT RECOMMENDED.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345193.aspx
Now this is the situation that I have where I need to understand how SSIS works?
Enviornment: Active Active cluster enviornment for SQL server with SSIS server installed as stand alone as default on both node.
Name: Node 1 Node 2
--------- -------------- ---------------------
Server name: Nd1 Nd2
SQL server name: cs-nd1in01 cs-nd2in02
SSIS server name: Nd1 Nd2
BTW, this is cosolidated enviornment so there are more than one application expected and resides on each instance of SQL server.
The question is around SSIS, what would be the best practice to develop SSIS package that can work with above envoinrment.
Secnario: What if my Nd1 fails. SQL server cs-nd1IN01 will be failover to Nd2 and it will be available. But How about SSIS packages? How that understands
to use Nd2 SSIS as Nd1 SSIS is not available. Is anyone has similar experience to setup SSIS in cluster envionrment but as non-cluster service?
Please help. Thanks in adavance.

I am trying to configure a 2 node SQL cluster. MSCS is configured and is failing over correctly, however when I start the installation of SQL Server, and specify the IP address of the virtual server and hit next, the installation hangs, and stops responding. I have ran comclust.exe on both nodes and verified that MSDTC shows up in the cluster administrator. I have searched high and low to no avail---

I realize this is like arguing politics or religion, but I have some wide tables that have frequent inserts on. SOme of these tables have millions of rows. I have seen pros and cons of having clustered indexes on tables like these. The one curve ball is that this is a vendor supplied app that I have little control over (ie how they call data is all dynamic sql). I thought the rule was not to cluster index on large tables with frequent indexes, but happy to hear other opinions

I need to install SSL on a SQL 2000 cluster system.
I have secured a certificate for the cluster name of the system with a fully qualified domain name.
I have placed the certificate on both nodes of the cluster in a location that both nodes has in common, but not in the cluster scheme.
I do not want the certificate to be applied to the whole server, just on a client by client basis.
thanks for the help!!
