Recovery :: Replica Server Not Available

Aug 11, 2015

I'm new to Sql Server and want to install SQL server alwayson clustering on my test environment. I followed the steps by this site: [URL] ....

On each node I can connect to SQL Server but why my 2nd node is not available so that I can add it as my 2ndary Replica?

According to this site, till "Always-On Availability Group Configuration" everything was successful.

Recovery :: Which Replica Becomes Primary When Availability Group Fails Over

Jul 16, 2015

I have 3 synchronous AlwaysON replicas: A, B and C. A is primary, B and C are secondary and both are set to Automatic recovery. How can I understand, which of them (B or C) will become primary when A goes offline? Well, Actually my final DB system should support following configuration:

1) Normally - A is primary B and C are sync secondary.
2) if A fails, B automatically becomes primary, C remains Sync secondary.
3) if A goes online, it becomes primary again 
4) C becomes primary only after A and B fail (and there still should be cluster quorum!)

As I understood, first of all i should configure quorum the following way: A-0, B-1, C-1, folder-witness-1.

The problem, again, is: I cannot understand how to configure which replica becomes primary when AG fails over.

Recovery :: Error Adding Replica To AlwaysOn Failover Cluster?

May 22, 2015

I'm getting an error adding Replica to SQL AlwaysOn failover cluster in the new availability group wizard.  When I enter the name of the target node (secondary replica) server and press connect, I get the following:   

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

The SQL Browser service is up and running on the target.  I am using an Azure VM for my SQL instance.  This cluster spans geographies from our on-premise site to Azure via a VPN.  This is a multi-subnet cluster. I'm attempting to create a new AG from the primary replica node and the target is a node on Azure called SSASNodeAz03.

SQL 2012 :: Backup On Primary Replica In Case Of Secondary Replica Is Down

Jun 9, 2014

I have 2 SQL Server replicas configured on SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn. e.g. SQL1 & SQL2.

I have configured backup job on both SQL Server with the following statement. and the job occurs every 10 minutes.

•declare @DBNAME sysname,@sqlstr varchar(500)
set @DBNAME = 'dba'
IF (sys.fn_hadr_backup_is_preferred_replica(@DBNAME)=0)
BEGIN
--Select 'This is not the preferred replica, exiting with success';

[Code] ...

I turned off SQL2 for Windows maintenance. So there is only SQL1 is online. Afterwards. I checked the backup folder and didn't see any new backup files was created after SQL2 was offline. I rerun the job. It still doesn't backup database on the Primary Replica. Then I searched on SQL Server Book online. It says

Prefer Secondary

Specifies that backups should occur on a secondary replica except when the primary replica is the only replica online. In that case, the backup should occur on the primary replica. This is the default option.

According to what it says, it should backup on the Primary Replica.

SQL 2012 :: Existing Replica MDF File Size Increased In Size Than New Replica Install

Apr 14, 2015

Here are my scenarios:

We have an application with replicated environment setup on sql server 2012 . Users will have a replica on their machines and they will replicate to the master database. It has 3 subscriptions subscribed to the publications on the master db.

1) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with no sql server on it. After the initial synchronization(used replmerge tool) the mdf file has grown to 33gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studion . Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 84 gb with little empty free space available.

2) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with sql server 2008 on it. After the initial synchronization(used replmerge tool) the mdf file has grown to 49 gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studio , Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 90 gb with 16 gb free space available.

3) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with sql server 2012 on it. We have dropped the local database and recreated the local db and did the initial synchronization using replmerge tool. The mdf file has grown to 49 gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studio , Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 90 gb with 16 gb free space available.

Why it is allocating the space differently? This is effecting our initial replica set up times.

Recovery :: Server Local High Availability Using Failover Cluster And Disaster Recovery Using AlwaysOn

Aug 17, 2015

We have a requirement to build SQL environment which will give us local high availability and disaster recovery to second site. We have two sites- Site A & Site B. We are planning to have two nodes at Site A and 2 nodes at Site B. All four nodes will be part of same Windows failover cluster. We will build two SQL Cluster, InstanceA will be clustered between the nodes at Site A Server and InstanceB will be clustered between the nodes at Site B, we will enable Always On Between the InstanceA and InstanceB and will be primary owner where data will be written on InstanceA and will be replicated to InstaceB. URL....Now we want we will have instanceC on the Site B and data will be writen from the application available on Site B, will be replicated to the instance on the Site A as replica.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Set Up AlwaysOn Replica For Reporting

Jun 17, 2015

I would like to setup replica for one of the databases for reporting. The current environment is a 2 node cluster(active/passive). I would like to add a 3rd node that can server as a secondary replica. The secondary replica will be on asynchronous commit mode.

The database that needs to have alwayson setup has column level encryption enabled.

Other Questions,

* Do I need to backup and restore the service master key on secondary server in order to have the column level encryption to work on secondary server?
* What would be preferred Quorum settings?
* What is the setting for 'readable secondary' for primary and replica db?
* What should be the setting for 'Connections in Primary Role' for primary and replica db?
* We are trying to setup without a Listner. Do I need to setup AG Listener? Can the application exclusively use the [secondary instance name].[replica DB name] without a listener?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Cannot Failover AG To Secondary Replica

Aug 11, 2015

We are not able to failover the AG to secondary replica. The process gets timed out and AG goes to resolving mode. Had to reboot the box in order to switch the AG back to primary node. We even rebuilt the whole AG from scratch but the issue remains.

Failed to bring availability group 'xxxx' online. The operation timed out. Verify that the local Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) node is online. Then verify that the availability group resource exists in the WSFC cluster. If the problem persists, you might need to drop the availability group and create it again. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 41131). The step failed.

Not much information is available in the logs.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: AlwaysOn Replica Database For Reporting

Feb 1, 2015

We have a 2 node clustered instance(SQL 2014) with 26 databases and we would like to enable alwayson for one of the databases for reporting (only one secondary and do not need high availability setup). I'm thinking if the reporting application/queries can explicitly connect to the secondary database(Instance namedatabase name) without using a listener and setup the secondary in asynchronous commit mode. Read about the REDO thread blocking due to reporting workload. How does this affect if I implement the secondary in this way.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: AlwaysOn Read-Only Replica Routing

Jun 22, 2015

Having an annoying AG/AO problem with the read only routing side of it.

Let me give some specifics first:

2 SQL Server Instances, Not Clustered.
Availability Group is named 'Ireland'

There is a primary Replica and a Secondary Replica, named:

'IrelandPrimary' and 'IrelandSecondary'

There is a listener configured with the name 'ListenIreland' on Port 14330 (the two 3's are correct)

Read Only Routing URLS are configured as follows:
IrelandPrimary tcp://Ireland.dom.local:49891ALL
IrelandSecondary tcp://Ireland.dom.local:49841ALL

So now my problem:

When I try to connect using the ApplicationIntent=Readonly; or even using -K ReadONLY in sqlcmd I get the error telling me that my connection was actively refused.

This is connecting to the Listener, not the instance itself - that works fine. I'm at a bit of a loss now.

To explain what I am trying to achieve is a for a connection to be redirected to the secondary replica when its set for read-intent.

I've just noticed that it only fails when I specify ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly; If I omit the Intent It connects to the read-write database instead.

SQL Server 2014 :: Modification Of SSIS Package With AlwaysOn Availability Replica?

Dec 1, 2014

We are currently using 2008 environment. We do have an SSIS Package running. The package used to run everyday and take the production server full backups and restore into the another server. Then do some delete commands and do some updates in that database on that server (We have some sensitive data other than Production we have to run that scripts in any environment). After run all those delete statements another team will read the data from that database.

We are planning to migrate to 2014 and set up always on and use the replica as the source. In this case how the package will work?

How to change that SSIS package. With the 2014 always on we are directly reading the data there is no backups to restore then how to run the delete statements?

"Joining DB on secondary replica resulted in error"

Msg: The remote copy of the database is not recovered far enough to enable DB mirroring or to join AG. Missing log records have to be applied to the remote DB by restoring the current log backups" Which I did. I took the log backup of DB1, restored it on DB2 with no recovery, but still I am getting the same error.

Transact SQL :: Change Db In Recovery To No-recovery And Restore Transaction Log?

May 5, 2015

in the process of migrating a big db from server 1 to server 2, we had to roll back the change. I started with taking a full db backup and restoring it on server 2 with norecovery, and then a couple logs with norecovery, and then the last log with recovery.

Is there some way to continue this chain now, I mean to change the db to norecovery, or other way to restore logs. 

I dont want to do a new full backup.

If I try to do a log restore now i get the message:

Msg 3117, Level 16, State 4, Line 1

The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

Recovery :: AG Databases Went Into Synchronizing / In Recovery After Upgrading To 2014

Sep 19, 2015

We have 3 replica AG setup. 2 replicas are in sync/automatic failover, the other(DR Server, different subnet) in asynchronous/manual mode…All these replicas were on sql server 2012, Recently we upgraded DR server to 2014. Since then we have a problem, the AG databases in 2014 instance went into ‘Synchronizing/ in recovery’ state…The SQL server error log has message, the recovery couldn’t start for the database ‘XYZ’…We tried to create a new database and add it to AG , it works for fine for other two 2012 replicas, but on 2014 we see the same issue

Recovery :: AG Database In Reverting / In Recovery State

Nov 1, 2015

We have an issue with a 3 node SQL 2012 Always on availability group. Normal operation is node 1 (primary replica) with node 2 and node 3 as secondary replicas.After some patching, SQL wasn't running on node 1 hence the AG flipped over to node 2. This went unnoticed for some time and the transaction log for one of the AG databases became full on node 2 and node 3. (I think this is because it couldn't commit the transactions on node 1 so couldn't truncate it's t-log?) The DB is using synchronous replication btw.So I started SQL on node 1 and flipped the AG back to node 1 (with a data loss warning but I accepted this).Now the issue is that on node 2 and 3, the DB in question is stuck in a "Reverting / In Recovery" State. I've tried various commands such as ALTER DATABASE SET ONLINE, RESTORE DATABASE WITH RECOVERY etc but these fail stating unable to obtain a lock on the DB.

The weird thing is that on node 1 the state of the DB is "synchronised".how to resolve this issue on node 2 and 3? I've left them overnight (in case they were rolling back transactions, the DB is fairly large) but nothing seems to have happened. remove the DB from the AG in node 2 and 3 and add it back in again, ie recreate the replication?

I tried transactional replication at midnight but our all systems locked and we had a lot of complaints from the customers and It was taking a lot of time to snapshot part and I had to abort it because of these reasons.
I need an advice how I can create a replication or is there any other way to replicate or is there any way to do this process without bothering the system? Please give me some advice and help..

How To Do The Database Transcation Replica ?

Feb 5, 2008

Hi,

I am new to SQL server.

I have two databases lets call them A & B, they reside in two PCs, each pC has its own C/C++ program
working with A or B, Two PCs are linked by PPP (for example), but the link is not permonent available,
the link is only available at certain time period, for example, at midnight.and the link is only last
certain period, during this period, A & B will do the transcation replica( just heard about that!) to
make them identical, A=B.

Now are my questions.

(1) Can database use dial up modem itself ? For PC program it is not the problem, but I am not sure whether
MS SQL server database can be configured to do such job automatically ?

(2) Can database have awareness of whether the link is available or not ? For example A is dialing modem, and
B realize that there is a incoming call.

(3) Once link is established, how two databases start to do the transcation replica ? Does SQL server has such ability to do this automatically ?

(4) Can database notice PC program that changes has occured ? so PC program can process it, see display new data.

Thanks

nick

"The database databaseA is not accessbile. (ObjectExplorer)"

I've also tried adding the "ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly" option.
