Recovery :: OS Memory Reservation For Two Node Cluster Having Three Instances
Nov 9, 2015We are running with a 2 node windows cluster having three SQL instances on it.
OS: Windows server 2008R2 SP1
SQL : SQL server 2008R2 (10.50.6529)
Currently both nodes have 256 GB or memory and we are having multiple auto failover for resources. What will be the best practice for OS memory reservation (OS+tools) so that we can set SQL max memory settings accordingly?
Recovery :: AG Multiple Instances On Each AG Member
Jul 15, 2015I am looking for information on setting up multiple instances of SQL 2014 on a single server and then adding each of those instances into availability groups. Is this supported?
Currently I have a test environment with 3 SQL 2014 servers and a domain controller. The 3 SQL servers are in a WSFC and I have an availability group setup for 3 databases. This setup works great. Now to add another level of complexity to this, I would like to install another SQL instance on each of the 3 SQL servers and then build another availability group for this new instance. Is this possible?

SQL 2012 :: Cluster With Multiple Instances On The Same Node?
Jul 14, 2015What I have- Sql server 2012 (Standard Ed) Cluster on Windows 2012 R2 with both instances running on the same node- just to save on License, i.e. technically it’s Act/Pas cluster.
What I am looking for- how to configure cluster (e.g. via quorum, etc) to force both instances failed together? Means if for some reason 1-st instance will fail to node 2 another instance should follow (otherwise it will be Act/Act cluster and 2-nd license is required).
If there is no standard way (cluster configuration I mean) to do it I should create some custom process to monitor where each instance is running.
Installation Of Multiple Named Instances In Cluster Environment

How To Install SS2005 On New Nodes In Existing Cluster For Multiple Instances ???
Oct 5, 2007Hi There
I have found no real documentation on this, so any links would be greatly appreciated.
We have an existing 2 node active active cluster.
A default and and named instance SS2005 Enterprise Edition are installed on the cluster.
Recently we acquired new hardware, 2 servers, which we added to the cluster so we now have a 4 node cluster.
The 2 new nodes have OS etc installed.
Now i have installed sql on a new multi node cluster, i have upgraded sql server in an existing cluster BUT i have never installed sql on an existing cluster for new nodes for multiple instances.
Now i presume you simply run the install on one of the new nodes, do this for a default instance, selecting both 2 new nodes to installl on. And do this again for the named instance.
But in the past I have never been promoted for which nodes to install sql on, it simply does all the nodes BUT i do not want this.
And how will the cluster know where the binary files are for each instance on the new nodes?
In a nutshell, how do i install sql server 2005 for 2 new nodes in an existing 4 node cluster for multiple instances ?
Thanx

Feb 25, 2003I an involved in a project that will have five sql server instances on an NT cluster.
I cannot find anywhere on Technet info on what happens when a single instance fails. Do they all have to fail over or just the failed instance. This is important so that we get the disk layout correct.
Can anybody help ? or point me to any docs on this.
Moving SQL Server 2000 Instances To A Cluster
Dec 10, 2006Hi,
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.

Install Muliti Instances On SQL 2005 Cluster With The Same Server Name
Mar 29, 2007
I am trying to install multi instances on my server cluster 2003 R2 Sp2. Because of the compatibility issues with my services I need to install both SQL 2000 and 2005. With 2000 I can easily specify the instance and servername. The server name can be the same, but the instance has to be different. Is this true for 2005? I have found so far that for every new instance that you create that you need to have a different virtual server name. How can you utilize the same virtual name and have multi insances
servername$instance1
servername$instance2
and so on

SQL Server 2008 :: Change IP Address Of Failover Cluster Instances
Mar 9, 2011IF you need to change the IP Address of a SQL Server Failover Cluster instance, here is the steps:
1. Open up Failover Cluster manager.
2. Expand the MS Cluster Instance that your SQL Cluster instance resides on.
3. Expand Services and applications.
4. Select the SQL Server Service.
5. In the main window pane (Middle Screen), you should see your SQL Server Cluster name, expand the plus to the left of it.
6. Under your SQL Server Cluster name, you should now see an 'IP address' section, right click on it and go to properties.
7. In the properties pane, you can change your IP address by entering a static IP.....or assigning a DHCP enabled IP.
SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Active Passive Cluster With 5 Instances
Nov 4, 2015We have a SQL 2014 active passive cluster with 5 instances. When the cluster was installed one of the nodes was a virtual machine. As we started to have problems and this is not a Microsoft supported configuration we decided to replace the virtual node with a phyiscal one. On 3 of these 5 instances we configured static ports (1433 TCP) this was required for applications and firewall implementation.
Now with the physical node joined to the cluster we have issues with these three instances. Whenever one of these instances is moved to the passive node the server authentication is changed from mixed to windows only. I'm no SQL expert at all but to me it looks like the configuration of the instances are not replicated to the passive node? I found some similar problems on the net but these are mostly under sql 2008.

Multiple Customers (with Multiple Sql Instances) On 1 Reporting Server
Dec 3, 2007
Hi,
I think this is a question for the specialists among us.
Can I use one general reporting server (installed on instance MAINREPORTING)
for multiple customers who all have their own sql instance (CUST1, CUST2, CUST3, ..)
I would use UserAuthenciation on the reportserver url to display the specific reports customers can use.
Is this possible, and what do i have to take care off concerning installation and/or configuration (especially on
the reporting side) ?

I want to confirm that it is possible that we can install failover clustering services on existing SQL server and then add an other server on SQL 2012 for high availability or do we need to first install failover cluster service and then install SQL server for failover clustering.

May 12, 2002Dear Listers,
1.) Is it possible to install Analysis Services on multiple SQL Server 2000 instances? If it is, then can you instruct me as to how to perform the install. If it is not possible, then does one restrict access to cube data via the Database Role Manager?
ie. The host box is - DOILAB30 with Analysis Services & SP2
Instance - DOILAB30/DOILAB30_FIN (Can AS be installed here?)
Do I severely restrict the membership of OLAP Admins?
2). Re. AS maintenance. - How do I backup and restore OLAP dbs/cubes etc. Following a restore, what issues, such as cube users/permissions should I be aware of? (if any).
TIA

RDA Access To Multiple SQL Server Instances

Multiple Reporting Instances On One Server
Dec 17, 2007
Hello all,
I am trying to built a general demo machine for our multiple resellers.
Is it possible to have multiple database instances (one per reseller) with each of them their own reporting instance, running on the same server (also same IIS). In our DNS and in the IIS settings i will reroute the specific reseller to his specific reporting url (eg: http://www.demosite.reseller1.com/reports (this is not a real url), will be rerouted via dns to the
specific reporting url for reseller one ... and so on.)
Each reseller must be able to has it own reports, subscriptions, models and access to reportbuilder.
Can this be accomplished ?
I have tried already a few times but get stuck when i want to upload reports/datasources to the specific websites. Also i have encountered the fact that if i succeed in uploading data to one reporting site and i want to upload different data to
another site, the initial site is also changed with the data of the second upload.
Can anyone point me into the right direction how to solve this problem .
Greetings

Recovery :: Can Run DAG Replication Between Two Clustered Instances In FCI?
Aug 27, 2015My ambition is to run ASPStateInMemory with durability on, supplementing the in-memory database with an on-disk version to give session state persistence when and if the clustered instance of SQL runs into, say a network card failure and needs to fail to a partner node. I understand that DAG's are usually run between standalone instances of SQL running on different machines. But, can I combine the DAG with the FCI? Instead of using a remote standalone SQL server, can I just another instance in the same cluster?
View 7 Replies View RelatedCan You Mirror To Multiple Instances On Same Server Via One Endpoint?
Oct 29, 2007
Hi all,
Can a MIRROR server have mirrored databases on many instances or must all of the mirrored databases on a server reside on one instance?
This initial implementation worked fine:
PRINCIPAL ServerPROD1instance01 endpoint1430
MIRROR ServerDRinstance01 endpoint1440
WITNESS ServerZ endpoint1450
This second implementation (different PRINCIPAL server to same MIRROR but to a different instance)
PRINCIPAL ServerPROD2instance5 endpoint1430
MIRROR ServerDRinstance02 endpoint1440 <<same mirror server but different instance
WITNESS ServerZ endpoint1450
I know that you can only install one endpoint on each server. Does that mean that the endpoint can only resolve to one instance though?
The second implementation looks fine until the final step (start mirroring). I get the following error:
An error occured while starting mirroring
Alter failed for database 'test'
An exception occurred while executing transaction-sql statement or batch
The remote copy of database 'test' does not exist. Check the database name and resissue the command
I have created the test database in instance02 and rolled a log onto it. It is currently in recovery mode - waiting patiently for another log.....
I have read books online and 2k5 unleashed but can't see anything that relates to an implementation across mutliple instances on the DRmirrored servers.
Has anyone tried to do this? Can you confirm its possible?
Many thanks in advance...
Merging Multiple Report Server Instances Into One
Sep 18, 2007Greetings... I'm working at consolidating several Reporting Services installations into one so we can decommission some old servers. We have two Report Servers that are in SQL Server 2000 and three that are in SQL Server 2005 (none are in a web farm configuration). I can upgrade the 2000 databases to 2005 format just fine, but now how do I merge these five ReportServer/ReportServerTempDB databases into one? I'm reluctant to redeploy reports to the "official" Report Server because we lose security, subscription, and scheduling information by doing that. So redeploy would cost us time and data loss over hundreds of reports, thus my hope to merge the databases at a data level. Is there a tool to automate this process, or has anyone tried this before? Thanks in advance.

SQL 2012 :: Mirroring Endpoint Multiple Instances On Same Server
Jun 18, 2014I was told that if I wanted to setup mirroring between multiple instance on the same server that each endpoint had to be different number. Is that true? Or can I use the default 5022 for each instance?
Ex.
Server1Instance1
Use endpoint 5022
Server1Instance2
Use endpoint 5022
VS
Server1Instance1
Use endpoint 5022
Server1Instance2
Use endpoint 5023
