Restore Database On VMWare

Jan 19, 2008



Hi,

Problem:

I've been pulling my hair out, trying to restore a database on a virtual machine (Vista Home Basic), hosted via VMWare on a WinXP Pro sp2 box.

Executing a command in a cmd file:

EXECUTE('RESTORE DATABASE [' + @Database + '] FROM DISK = ''' + @BackUpPath + '.bak''');


Produces this error:

SQL Server And VMWare

Jul 29, 2007

Hi anyone

We've implemented VMWare ESX (virtual machine) on our organisation and we might implement for SQL Server in term of DEV (development) and UAT (testing).

Any thought implementing this on PRODUCTION? The PRE-SALES guys from VMWare said it's ok BUT personally I'm not really convince on this? Anyone?

Thanks

SQL Server 2005 And VMWARE

Jun 6, 2007

Guys,

We are running SQL 2000 on VMWARE from last year which had some issues in regards to performance (We are dealing with MultiMillions Records)

Recently we bought SQL Server 2005 Standard edition, and my management want to put that on VMWARE AS WELL.

Now I have concerns, as far as my understanding goes, for Database Servers we should use Standalone Servers ?

I need your advice, that is it wise to put Database server on VMWARE or not?

Thanks in advance.

Can't Connect To SQL Server When Hosted Within VMWare

Jun 2, 2008

Hi,
I'm having loads of trouble trying to connect to SQL Server using management studio when the database is hosted within VMware.

Here is what I've found:
1) I can ping the Virtual machine at 192.168.10.70
2) If I open the virtual machine and use management studio locally on the machine, but use the above IP address, correct credentials, the database logs in ok.
3) If I open management studio but on my development machine and put the EXACT same credentials into the login screen of step 2, I get the dreaded error: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed to completion of the server not responding....

Remote connections are set to allowed on the VM host machine too, so I know its not this that is the problem.
The VM also hosts IIS and serves ASP pages just fine.

What am I missing?

Is SQL Server Supported In A VMWare Environment

Aug 24, 2005

I have looked all over the MS site and can find very little information regarding SQL Server's support for the VMWare environment.  Based on other information that I have obtained on other forums and web-site it looks like it is not supported by Microsoft, but I would like the company line if possible.

SQL 2012 :: VMWare Providing Failover And Redundancy

Sep 30, 2015

Today a vendor bluntly stated that VMWare provides the same failover and redundancy for SQL that would render "AlwaysOn" high availability unnecessary.

Essentially that VMWare would detect a problem and failover and have .9999 uptime .

SQL 2012 :: VMWare Snapshot Breaks Windows Cluster?

Dec 17, 2013

We have set up SQL server 2012 alwaysOn availability group on windows 2012. It runs and fails over successfully. Recently, a VMWare creates a snapshort of a primary and it breaks a cluster. We saw errors in a cluster log.

In VMware setting, The quiesce option is turned off for these VMs. Also, we configured cluster setting :Windowssystem32> (get-cluster).SamesubnetThreshold = 10 ( Relaxed )

Cluster node 'Test1' 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

File share witness resource 'File Share Witness' failed to arbitrate for the file share 'TestTEstQuorum'. ensure that file share 'TestTestQuorum' exists and is accessible by the cluster.In alwaysOn error log, A connection timeout has occurred on a previously established connection to availability replica 'Test1' with id [CAD40D99-E333-457E-9993-BBE977D2CDA2]. Either a networking or a firewall issue exists or the availability replica has transitioned to the resolving role.

Database Restore Failed, Now Inaccessible And Can Not Restore.

Apr 27, 2007

I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???



Thanks!

RESTORE Database - Database In Use, Restore Fails

Nov 19, 1999

11/19

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE

Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1

2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server

I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.

Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.

Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'

I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.

Any ideas??

Restore Of Database Backup To Another Database Makes Users DBO

May 7, 1999

Anybody figure a way around this:

In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.

When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.

We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.

This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.

Anybody come up with a better way?

How To Backup CE Database Tables And Restore To Newer Database?

Jul 3, 2007

I am fairly new to VS 2005 and SQL Server CE. I have developed a Desktop Windows application using VB 2005 and the SQL Compact Edition Database. This application will sell to users via web download.

When they download a service patch, or updated version, I wish for them to retain the data in their present database. In other words, fill the new database with the old data. The new table structures will remain intact except for added columns at the end.

Question is how to save the old data and update the new database with it. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write a module to save a database copy, and update the new database with content at install time?

SQL 2012 :: Restore Master Database For A New Database?

Jul 29, 2014

Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.

Is It Possible To Restore A Database But Preserve The Security Of The Database?

Apr 26, 2007

i have a development database that has updates and changes to a production database. rather than go through individually and alter all relevant tables and stored procedures, id like to back up the database on the development side and restore it on the production side as the production database. is there a way to restore the database on the production server but preserve all the security settings (ie logins and such)? i noticed on our development server, that if i try to restore the database with my development database, it overwrites the users and/or if the user is the same on both, it removes the login name for that user.

Possible To Restore Database From Raw MDF And LDF Files Of Old To New Database Instance

Aug 19, 2015

I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from [URL] ...

Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often

- the last one is dated January 5, 2015. I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.

I am no DBA expert, especially when it comes to MSSQL. Is is possible to 'restore' the database from the 'raw' .mdf and .ldf files of the old computer to the new computer / database instance? If so, how should I proceed?

I had a major disk failure, and the only SQL Server files I was able to recover were master.dat, msdb.dat,msdblog.dat, two text files and two database devices. My question, is it possible in SQL 6.5 to restore a database from just the database device, and if so, how? Thank you.

Restore Database

Jan 12, 2008

I want to add a new table to a database on a server. I assume the best way to do this is to backup db on sever, restore to local computer, add table, backup local, and restore to server. (If there is a better way, I am open).
I can backup the database on the server and get the backup to my local computer. However, when I use SQL Server Management Studio Express to restore the .bak file to my computer, I get the following error:

Restore Database

Jan 2, 2002

On a test server I had deleted the .MDF to testdb, before deleting the .mdf
I had backup the database inserted some records into a table and then backup
the transaction log.
I brought the server down and back up then did the following:

use master
go

BACKUP LOG test
TO TestRestore_Log2_Backup
WITH NO_TRUNCATE
GO
RESTORE DATABASE test
FROM Test_Backup
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG test
FROM TestRestore_Log1_Backup
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG test
FROM TestRestore_Log2_Backup
WITH NORECOVERY

I receive all kinds of errors like:
Primary file not available for database 'test'
( i'm sure that's because the .mdf is gone),One or more devices or files already exist use REPLACE, Which is fine but when I do I only get the full back and not the latest transaction log?

Database Restore

Jan 10, 2002

I was restoring a database from a backup I had made about a month ago and it gave me an error. I don't remember what it said exactly, but I know that it had to do w/ restoring the transaction log. Now, I can't access the database at all. When I try to access it through enterprise manager, it says "An error occurred while trying to access the database information." If I try through Query Analyzer, it says that the database is in the middle of a restore. I checked the sysprocesses table and there is nothing running against this database.

Is there anyway to recover this database, or am I going to have to recreate it from scratch. Please tell me I can recover the database!!!!

Database Restore

Apr 2, 2002

I have 2 servers SQl server 7 and 2000.
I got a backup file from the customer for one of the database. So I created a new database using similar script as below
create database TESTUP
ON
(NAME = TESTUPDATA,
FILENAME='C:PROGRAM FILESMSSQL7DATATESTUPDATA.dat',
SIZE=10GB)
LOG ON
(NAME = TESTUPLOG,
FILENAME='C:PROGRAM FILESMSSQL7DATATESTUPLOG.dat',
MAXSIZE=500MB)
GO

sp_addlogin TESTUP, TESTUP, TESTUP
GO

USE TESTUP
GO

sp_adduser TESTUP
GO

When I use enterprise manager to force restore that backup copy to this database I just created, even though I have setup maxsize for LOG as 500 MB it still gets all their logs 50 GB !!! I do not want their logs in the 1st place and then I tried to restrict them I could not do so.
So I restored it as it was urgent and then tried to shrink the datafiles for LOGS but they did not shrunk much.

Is their any way to avoid getting the transaction logs during the restore ???
In other words can just get the datafiles and not the transaction logs ?

Restore Database

Jul 13, 2001

Hi,
I need to restore a database from backup which is stored in the shared folder in the network neighbourhood. SO I created a temp folder in my E drive and copied the file from that location to the temp folder and when I tried to restore it, I get the following message:
"the file F:mssqldataFindatafindb_pri.mdf" cannot be used by restore. consider using the with move option to identify a valid location for the file.

So I created the database in my e:mssqldata folder and tried to restore and I got this message:
"the backup set holds a backup of a databse other than the existing "findb" database.Backup or restore operation termination abnormally.

Any clue how to do the restore.

Thanks in advance,

As soon as I click OK for database restore, CPU usage reaches to 100% and restore process doesn't do anything.

Is there any way around it? Or should I wait at least 15-20 minutes before I cancel restore operation.

Restore database size is around 4 GB. Server is running on service pack 2 and have almost 7 GB disk space free.

I reboot the server also thinking that it might help. It didn't.

Please help.
