SQL 2005 Logshipping To Secondary Server
Jun 14, 2006
I hope this hasn't been answered recently..
I have a primary SQL cluster, logshipping my SQL 2005 db to a secondary server used for the logshipping/recovery server only.
Say my primary server starts on fire, melts down, etc. How do I bring the database on the secondary server online? Do I need to roll in the transaction logs, etc.? I'm looking for a step-by-step, as I am very new to SQL.
I've seen some articles in the SQL Books Online, but things don't seem to work correctly when I follow the steps.
Please help,
THanks..

Hello,
Does anyone here know how to properly add a secondary IP address (VIP) to a SQL 2005 failover cluster? I have looked for articles, but so far I can only find references to how to change the VIP on a cluster, not how to add additional VIPs.
I have added the VIP as a resource in the proper resource group, and added it as a dependency to the SQL Server resource, and although the active server properly registers the secondary VIP, the SQL Server process does not listen on that IP. Vexing.
Thanks.

Hello
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?
please advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please help me sort out this issue,
Can Logshipping server be a primary server for any other server.
Or any other way to transfer the data [DTS] to third server once in a day so that third server will also update.
Thanx in Advance

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.
thanks

Hi,
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?
sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_jobschedule (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_alert_job (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_primary (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_database (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_primary_secondary (Transact-SQL)
Or do I have to ditch my current backup maintenance plans on the primary and start again?
Thanks

Hello,
I would like to know how do I carry out this two cases in efficient way:
1. I have two SQL 2005 servers running. One as primary, one as secondary. I would like to synchronize or replicate the transactions at real-time.
2. When primary goes down, I would like my secondary server to take place in needless of IP changes and application settings.
If you have a good architecture on this, please share with me. I am not sure whether my questions are clear enough or not. I also will be reading some articles about these. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Paing

I am configuring log shipping. On the secondary server, I already restored the DB.From the primary server, I was following all the instructions on how to. Now this is the problem. I click on ADD button to connect to the secondary server. I put in the IPInstanceName and the DB. I also chose option 3 (No, the secondary database is initialized), clicked OK after all the option, now getting this error.

Inside my sp on the Primary server are 3 commands:
exec msdb..sp_start_job @job_name = N'JobA' --
Running on Primary ServerEXEC Server2.msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = N'JobB';Running on Secondary ServerSelect * from Server2.Table --
Running on Secondary Server
So far the commands are working just fine when I kick them off one at a time. But when I kick off the sp as a whole I notice that the timing just isn't keeping up. For instance, Step 3 is running before Step 2 is finished. It appears that as the Primary Server kicks off Step 2, it doesn't seem to care about the outcome and moves right to Step 3 which in turn provides me erroneous data.How can I get Step 3 to wait until Step 2 is actually finished keeping in mind the Secondary server is part of this equation?

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.
Any advice would be appreciated,
~ Michelle

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.

We had a big issue today during maintenance work in our SQL environment.
So our environment:
- 2x SQL Server 2014 Enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 (SRV1 and SRV2)
-- Both Hyper-V VMs on different Hosts
-- Both configured to an Windows Failover Cluster and AlwaysOn Availability Group (AG1)
-- AG Listener: AG1_lis
-- No shared storage (each Hyper-V Host has its own local storage)
-- Asynchronous Mode
-- SRV1 is primary, SRV2 is secondary SQL node
What happened?
- Shutting down Windows on SRV2 due hardware maintenance
- Cluster goes offline, AG1 goes offline
-- Error message: "Stopped listening on virtual network name 'AG1_lis'."
-- Error message: "The availability group database "DatabaseXY" is changing roles from "PRIMARY" to "RESOLVING" because the mirroring session or availability group failed over due to role synchronization."
Results?
- AG1_lis wasn't available for our applications and they stopped working properly because database connection was lost!
I think, I HOPE, this is not the normale behaviour when one node is shutting down (especially the secondary node!)

Hi guys, right now I am having insufficient hard disc space at the secondary server (Mirror side) due to the large db that I have. Therefore, I get a new HDD on the server (Assuming located at drive G) and would like to shift the current mirroring db to that new drive. Is it possible for me to do that ? Hope able to get any suggestion from here ASAP. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Hans

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.
Message
2006-11-06 05:00:01.92 Skipped log backup file. Secondary DB: 'MyDemo', File: 'D:MSSQLBackupMyDemoMyDemo_20061106115619.trn'
Message
2006-11-06 05:00:01.95 Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database 'MyDemo'.
2006-11-06 05:00:01.96 The restore operation was successful. Secondary Database: 'MyDemo', Number of log backup files restored: 0
Any ideas or suggestions?

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.

Hi,
I am trying to do logShipping from one server to another.
I created the logins and restored the DB(user) with the option -
"Leave DB ReadOnly and able to restore logs"
I was surprised to see that the DB got restored but there were no users in that DB.
Since this is a read-only DB I cannot run commands like Sp_change_users_login etc.....and neither can I create a user.
Any thoghts what might have gone wrong?
TIA.

Hi,
I have a question.
We have created a Logshipping (customized).
(We didn't use the logshipping wizard SQL 2000)
On Primary server
The backup strategy is :
Everyday we take a Fullbackup followed by every 15 mins we take transaction log backup.
Day 1:
Full Backup at 12:00 AM
Transaction log backup from 4:00 AM to 11:45 PM
Day 2:
Full Backup at 12:00 AM
Transaction log backup from 4:00 AM to 11:45 PM
Day 3:
.
.
.
On Secondary server
Everyday will restore the full backup daily and followed by the transaction log backup restore with no recovery mode.
Day 1:
Full Backup Restore at 2:00 AM
Transaction log backup Restore from 5:00 AM to 12:45 AM
Day 2:
Full Backup Restore at 2:00 AM
Transaction log backup Restore from 5:00 AM to 12:45 AM
Day 3:
.
.
.
The problem we have is
A third server which is remote need the full backup for the first time only and everyday they need a log backup alone and not the daily fullbackup to logship the server. Will that be possible
using the logs alone for logshipping but not considering the full backup file.
Third server
Like:
One time Full Backup Restore at 4:00 AM
Day 1:
Only
Transaction log backup Restore from 9:00 AM to 4:45 AM
Day 2:
Only
Transaction log backup Restore from 9:00 AM to 4:45 AM
Day 3:
.
.
.
Don't the server throws an error saying that
Msg 4305, Sev 16: The log in this backup set begins at LSN 13000001816200001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 13000001723100001 can be restored. [SQLSTATE 42000]
Msg 3013, Sev 16: RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
We don't know how to fullfil the request. I don't think Logshipping wizard skips the full backup file for logshipping if it has been schedule for full backup everyday and logbackup every 15 mins.
Please help. is there anyway we can solve this problem.
Thanks,
Anu

Recently I have faced one DBA interview, below is the question they asked me.
" Does AlwaysON secondary replica support Full backup, if it is not why"?
I know AlwaysON secondary replicas support only copy_only and tlog backups, why they wont support full backup?

I am new to SQL and I haven't written any scripts in the past. I thought I would give it a go. Basically, I am trying to write a script that will check if a database has more than one log files, free the VLFs that belong to the secondary log files and then remove them. I created a database named rDb as this link suggests and followed the steps.
[URL] ....
It works. However, I want to have to run just 1 script that will do the entire job. This is what I have gotten so far and it doesn't work:
create table #tempsysdatabase(
File_id int,
file_guid varchar(50),
type_desc varchar (20),
data_space_id int,
name nvarchar (50),
state int,
[Code] ....

I am having trouble to use SSMSE to remotely connect SQL Express server using IPs other than the base IP of the machine.
Machine settings:
(1) Has multiple IP configured. Those IP are accessible remotely
(2) Firewall is not on.
SQL Express server configuration:
(1) TCP/IP and named pipe are on
Browser service state:
(1) running
(2) listening at 0.0.0.0:1434 (UDP)
SSMSE connection results:
(1) with <baseIP><instance>, connects OK
(2) with <otherIP><instance>, connection failed.
Both connections use exactly the same authentication information.
Testing results using telnet:
(1) telnet <baseIP> 1434, OK
(2) telnet <otherIP> 1434, OK
Does SSMSE actually only listen on the base IP even it shows to listen on all the IPs?

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 database mirroring setup with witness. Below database connection string is used by the application
jdbc:sqlserver://<Server_A>MSSQLSERVER;databaseName=<Mirrored_DB>;port=1433;failoverPartner=<Server_B>MSSQLSERVER
During some maintenance activity at the OS side , I tried to manually failover database from Server_A to Server_B. It took long time for failover to Server_B. While failing over the Mirrored_DB database goes in In Recovery status and application is not able to connect to database. I waited for long time more than 40 mins for database to come online on Server_B but it did not work.So I have recovered database on Server_B using RESTORE DATABASE Mirrored_DB WITH RECOVERY.
After database was recovered on Server_B application was not able to connect to database with error as "The database <Mirrored_DB> on server Server_BMSSQLSERVER is not configured for database mirroring".
My Question is
Why manual failover did not get back database on secondary server upwhy the original connection string below is not able to connect to the database while database is online on Server_B but without mirroring
jdbc:sqlserver://<Server_A>MSSQLSERVER;databaseName=<Mirrored_DB>;port=1433;failoverPartner=<Server_B>MSSQLSERVER
