Recovery :: Error While Executing Script On Log Shipping Secondary Server?
May 5, 2015
We tried to configure log shipping using script generated by GUI and when executed specific script which is meant for secondary server the database is not created and threw below error.
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_database, Line 50
The database 'BUBALLO' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.
Note: Only Copy, restore and alerts jobs have been created.
The account I'm trying to configure log shipping is the service account by which SQL and agent services are running and folder in where data and log files are intended and to be created is open to all (everybody has read/write permissioins) believe the issue is not with permissions.
I set up Log Shipping with just 2 servers primary and secondary. When I run from the Wizard for the very first time keeps failing at the stage of saving Secondary Server Configuration info. When i instead run the generated script this problem disappears but then restoring of transactions fails - the process can backup transactions from the Primary server , copy them accross to the secondary and fails on the restore. Any ideas why.
I'm working on SQL 2012 Box, which is having Logshipping failed on secondary database, the secondary database was in stand by mode right now but no more restore operation performed on this database since 2 weeks! We checked in the SQL error log and found the error code 14421, severity 16, stat: 1
How to reset the logship back to normally, do I need to disable the jobs before proceed any operation!
I received an alert from one of my two secondary servers (all servers are running 2012 SP1):
File 'E:SQLMS SQL ServerMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAMyDatabaseName_DateTime.tuf' is not a valid undo file for database 'MyDatabaseName (database ID 8). Verify the file path, and specify the correct file.
The detail in the job step shows this additional information:
*** Error: Could not apply log backup file 'MyDatabaseName_DateTime.trn' to secondary database 'MyDatabaseName'.(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.LogShipping) ***
*** Error: Table error: Page (0:0). Test (m_headerVersion == HEADER_7_0) failed. Values are 0 and 1.
Table error: Page (0:0). Test ((m_type >= DATA_PAGE && m_type <= UNDOFILE_HEADER_PAGE) || (m_type == UNKNOWN_PAGE && level == BASIC_HEADER)) failed. Values are 0 and 0.
Table error: Page (0:0). Test (m_freeData >= PageHeaderOverhead () && m_freeData <= (UINT)PAGESIZE - m_slotCnt * sizeof (Slot)) failed. Values are 0 and 8192. Starting a few minutes later, the Agent Job named LSRestore_MyServerName_MyDatabaseName fails every time it runs. The generated log backup, copy, and restore jobs run every 15 minutes.
I fixed the immediate problem by running a copy-only full backup on the primary, deleting the database on the secondary and restoring the new backup on the secondary with NORECOVERY. The restore job now succeeds and all seems fine. The secondaries only exists for DR purposes - no one runs reports against them or uses them at all. I had a similar problem last weekend on a different database that is also replicated between the same servers. I've been here for over a year, and these are the first instances of this problem that I've seen. However, I've now seen it twice in a week on the same server.
hi all, For data ware house project, the reporting team needs to know the delta changes to the master database.
one way we were thinking was to use log shipping and run reports / ETL off the secondary server. But the team needs to know which records got changed and i was thinking of adding timestamp columns to the necessary tables (only on the secondary database schema) and that way we can track the changes.
But from my research, it seems like secondary database needs to have similar schema as promary database.
Is log shipping, can my secondary db have a bit different schema? if so how to do it? If not, how to accomplish the above secanrio, with out adding new columns (if possible) in the master database and with low over head.
We have SQL Server 2005 configured with mirroring to protect from physical errors. We also have a need for an (out of sync is ok) reporting server and we'd like to reduce our downtime in the event of a logical error.
The primary database is already being backed up (full and t-logs) to a shared network drive.
Can I implement the second half of log shipping (i.e. the stuff you do to the secondary) so that I don't have to change the current backup schedules on the primary server?
Specifically in the list of sp's below, can I start halfway down at sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_primary (Transact-SQL) ?? Without having to run the primary sp's?
We have set up Log shipping between Primary and Secondary DB. The secondary DB is right now option: Standby/Read-Only. I can not take Backup of Secondary DB now.
Shall we disable Log shipping and change the DB Option to Multi-user mode and take backup? or any different method, without disabling log shipping?
I made B server which get logs from primary server A as a secondary server in the log shipping solution. it always shows RESTORING in B server, it seems not to accessible.
my question is <if A failed down , how to revoke the B server as the primary one>
I have setup Log shipping between two SQL 2005 servers, and everything seems to be working well. The files are transferring and restoring correctly.
My question is whether I need to add any backup procedures for the secondary server to prevent the secondary server's log file size from growing continuously. Should I be doing a transaction log backup on the secondary server? Or will that break the Log chain?
If it makes a difference, the secondary server is in Standby mode after applying the logs.
We are using MSSQL 2005 and Log Shipping. After making our secondary SQL server primary, how can we put the secondary SQL server back into standby mode?
We're planning to implement log shipping on our databases, and I have been toiling with it all weekend trying to get it to work on some test databases. The result is the same whether I do it via the wizard or manually via T-SQL.
I am using 3 servers, all SQL Server 2005 Standard SP1. All 3 SQL Servers are configured identically.
When I setup log shipping, it initializes with no problems. When it processes the first tran log file, it restores it with no problem. Every successive log file thereafter is not restored. No errors are generated. The only outright indication of a problem is that the monitor server shows that there has not been a recent restore.
The backup and copy both suceed. The restore claims to suceed. If I review the job history for each step, it says that it skipped the log file and then reports that it did not fina any log files to restore.

I checked the server and found that LS restore job failing and Backup and copy jobs running fine without any issue. and also observed that Copy folder the trn file existing on secondary server. i try to restore trn file im getting the error. and observed that last log backup file that it restored at the secondary database on May2nd,2015.

I noticed that after a SQL AlwaysOn failover, one of the DB in the secondary replica is stuck in Restoring state. The primary replica shows that it is in a synchronized state. These are the error logs from SSMS. How do I trace the cause of the problem?
Error: 5901, Severity: 16, State: 1. Nonqualified transactions are being rolled back in database for an AlwaysOn Availability Groups state change. Estimated rollback completion: 0%. This is an informational message only. No user action is required Error: 18400, Severity: 16, State: 1.
One or more recovery units belonging to database failed to generate a checkpoint. This is typically caused by lack of system resources such as disk or memory, or in some cases due to database corruption. Examine previous entries in the error log for more detailed information on this failure.
The background checkpoint thread has encountered an unrecoverable error. The checkpoint process is terminating so that the thread can clean up its resources. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
I have a SQL 2014 SP1 set of servers with two asynchronous copies of an availability group. One of the asynchronous sites is down and SQL can no longer replicate the changes. I need to understand how long SQL Server can continue this way before the secondary replica will no longer be able to catch up. I assume this is really tied to the transaction log on the primary replica but would like it clarified.
I could not able to find Forums in regards to 'Log Shipping' thats why posting this question in here. Appriciate if someone can provide me answers depends on their experience.
Can we switch database recovery model when log shipping is turned on ?
We want to switch from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged Recovery to make sure Bulk Insert operations during the after hours load process will have some performance gain.
I have some trouble with shipping my transaction logs to the secondary database be it on
another server or within the same server to another database instance.
Im using SQL Server 2005 workGroup editions with Service Pack 2.
Here are the problems that i encountered.
I do hope someone has bumped into such a problem and willing to help me out.
I tried on 2 separate servers (not domain environment) and also between 2 separate instances (which is supposed to be simple!) on our development server,but was unsuccessful.
Between 2 separate instances on the development server - No error after configuring Log shipping though. The configuring went through and it was a success. Transaction logs was backup every minute and it got copied over to the other folder. But SQL Agent not doing its last job which is supposed to restore to the secondary database on another instance.No errors given out in SQL Agent error log files.Anywhere else im supposed to look to see if there are errors given out? Both instances SQL Agent has the same log on username and password with Administartive rights
So what went wrong?
Between the 2 servers- The transaction logs was backup every 1min on the primary server but it didn't got copied over to to the secondary database. - Error message given was:Error in restoring database to the secondary database.Network path given could not be found. Can't open the AxTest.bak file. (i am very sure i have type the correct network path,even have shared it out and i think the firewall is blocking incoming traffic since unlike our development server, which allows us to access when we use Start>Run and type in the ip address,user name and password,the primary server will only tell me no network path was found) I also believe it's because the SQL Agent on the secondary database server wasn't given permission to access the primary database folder. I've shared out the drive and folder on the secondary server and even have allowed SQL Agent to read,write and modify on both servers. For the primary and secondary SQL Agent, I configure their log on to be the same user account name and password which have administrative rights. So what went wrong?
Isit really true that both servers have to be in domain environment before you can configure log shipping,mirroring and replication?
Hope someone help me out of this predicament.Thank you in advance!
I am new to this environment and was asked to ensure that the transaction log shipping for SQL 2005 on W2K3 boxes is working properly. I noticed the db's on the secondary server are show "Restoring..." I am not sure if these were set up in No Recover Mode or Standby Mode. I have no access to the secondary db's. I get an error message when trying to access them (error 927). Monitoring was not set up initially and as you may or may not know can't be turned on after the fact...unless you delete the job and start over.
My question is is "Restoring..." normal and what does it indicate?
We have a SQL AG configured with 3 servers. 1 Server is on Azure Cloud and 2 are On Prem. The one on Azure is the Primary DB [Copy]. The copies on On Prem are secondary.Databases are more than 6 TB in total. We have already synced 1 copy [One SQL Server] OnPrem with Azure DB. The connection was over a VPN tunnel so it took a almost 8-10 days.. Some failures in between.Now, can I sync my other SQL 2012 server OnPrem with the secondary copy.
I am trying to implement a log shipping scenario in sql 2005 where the secondary server is in standby mode with the ability to roll change during failover.
With the help of BOL (ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/2d7cc40a-47e8-4419-9b2b-7c69f700e806.htm) I can implement my scenario in Recovery mode, but not in standby mode. I use the following sql to put my primary in standby
BACKUP LOG [database] TO DISK = @filename WITH STANDBY = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupROLLBACK_UNDO_database.BAK' GO
which works, but then my restore job fails on the last step. How can I put my primary db in standby mode in such a way that the log shipping restore will work?
We have an AAG environment. In order for the failover to be transparent we have to ensure that the login that is added in the Primary node is also added to the secondary node. Currently, we are adding the logins to the secondary node manually. Is there a way to automate this process so that a Login added to the Primary node is automatically updated on the Secondary Node.
I've configured log shipping to use for DR purposes. I'm concerned that the physical location of the secondary is mis-reported by SQL Server Management Studio.
Viewing the secondary location (with Studio DB_name Properties Files) shows the path of the primary DB (I expected it to show the path of the secondary).
This SQL command shows the correct/actual paths of both primary and secondary DB's when run on their host servers.
SELECT name, physical_name AS CurrentLocation, state_desc FROM sys.master_files
Is this just cosmetic?
Here is an Example of how the Studio shows the incorrect path for the secondary.
As per our client requirement we want to set synchronization time from primary replica to secondary replica after 20 minutes. Is it possible in MSSQL AlwaysOn Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012?
I recently configured SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability group using two nodes - a primary and one secondary read only replica. The group is residing on a windows 2012 cluster with an smb file share as the quorum. I am able to successfully failover through SQL and through the windows 2012 cluster. When I look at the group dashboard on the primary server and view the Operational state of each node I notice an odd value. The secondary role server is listed as Unknown. I also noticed that the Availability replicas node icons in object explorer are displaying the same icon on the primary server but on the secondary server, the primary server is shown as a server with a question mark.
Am I missing a permissions setting or is this normal behavior.
For example:
ServerA is the primary ServerB is the secondary ServerA lists the servers in Object Explorer as:
ServerA (Primary)ServerB (Secondary) ServerB lists the servers in Object Explorer as:
ServerA ServerB (Secondary)
The primary is never listed a primary on the secondary server. Again failovers are working properly, but I want to be sure I am not missing a setting somewhere.
Currently in my environment we are using SQL server 2012.We setup Alwayson with synchronous commit.Details of existing AlwaysOn: one primary and two secondary.
Primary: On-Premise server. Secondary1: On-Premise server. Secondary2: Azure VM. Requirement: We need to add Secondary3 New Azure VM on same AG with asynchronous mode or synchronous mode. Or We need to create one more AG on same DB and add the new replica with asynchronous.Is it possible above 2 option in this scenario? My cluster environment is Manual failover only not auto failover.
I have a two node HA Always on group using a Listener. I would like to force a certain AD group to always be forced to the secondry node as they would only ever need to run select statements. If there an easy way to do this without using logon triggers?
I have a scenario where a customer is going to be using Log Shipping to the DR site; however, we need to maintain the normal backup strategy on the current system. (i.e. Nightly Full, Every 6 Hour Differential and Hourly Transaction Log backup)I know how to setup Transaction Log Shipping and Fail-over to DR and backup but now the local backup strategy is going to be an issue. I use the [URL] .... maintenance solution currently.
Is it even possible to do regular backups locally keeping data integrity for your backup strategy with Transaction Log Shipping enabled?

Here are the series of events which happened.
1.) Event ID: 1135 Cluster node 'XYZ' was removed from the active failover cluster membership. The Cluster service on this node may have stopped. This could also be due to the node having lost communication with other active nodes in the failover cluster. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapters on this node. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges.
2.) Event ID: 1049 Cluster IP address resource 'SQL IP Address 1 (XYZ)' cannot be brought online because a duplicate IP address '10.9.8.113' was detected on the network. Please ensure all IP addresses are unique.
3.) Event ID: 1069 Cluster resource 'SQL IP Address 1 (XYZ)' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.
4.) Event ID: 1049 Cluster IP address resource 'Cluster IP Address' cannot be brought online because a duplicate IP address '10.9.8.112' was detected on the network. Please ensure all IP addresses are unique.
5.) Event ID: 1069 Cluster resource 'Cluster IP Address' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed.
6.) Event ID: 1066 Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 25' indicates corruption for volume '?Volume{88552e6f-aea2-11df-9790-0026b92fffa7}'. Chkdsk is being run to repair problems. The disk will be unavailable until Chkdsk completes. Chkdsk output will be logged to file 'C:WindowsClusterReportsChkDsk_ResCluster Disk 25_Disk16Part1.log'. Chkdsk may also write information to the Application Event Log.
7.) Event ID : 1066 Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 26' indicates corruption for volume '?Volume{88552e05-aea2-11df-9790-0026b92fffa7}'. Chkdsk is being run to repair problems. The disk will be unavailable until Chkdsk completes. Chkdsk output will be logged to file 'C:WindowsClusterReportsChkDsk_ResCluster Disk 26_Disk4Part1.log'. Chkdsk may also write information to the Application Event Log.
8.) Event ID: 1049 (Same message as point 2)
9.) Event ID: 1069 (Same message as point 3)
10.) Event ID : 1049 (same message as point 4)
11.) Event ID :1069 (same message as point 5)
12.) Event ID :1205 The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application.
13.) Event ID: 1069 Cluster resource 'Cluster Disk 17' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.
14.) Event D : 1049 (same message as point 2)
15.) Event ID: 1069 Cluster resource 'SQL IP Address 1 (XYZ)' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.
16.) Event ID : 1205 The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application.
first of all,I went through all the logs, and could not find the reason for fail-over initialization. There should be some thing logged why the failover happened? secondly after failover the service was not coming online due to duplicate IP address detection.
Later when we try to manually bring the service online from cluster management it comes online successfully. I don't understand how would duplicate IP address get resolved when we start manually.
Lastly we see few errors related to physical disk resource between failover retries, is this could be the correlated to failover error ?
i have created a new login in primary server and provided dbowner permission to primary db.how do i transfer this login to secondary server and assign the same permission to secondary db ?
I need to copy a just-created bak file to another drive after the backup task has completed. I don't see anything in the job toolbox which works with file system operations like this. But still it must be a common need..There are ways to script this or use third part tools but I am looking for something native to the sql server 2012 SSMS toolset, if possible.
An alternate approach would be to run the backup job again, after the main backup, and change the destination to the alternate location. But I was thinking that another backup job would probably invoke more overhead on the server than a simple file copy operation. If I do end up taking this approach I could also use the cleanup task to toss older bak files in the alt dir.
