Our production server is currently running SQL 2005 on a stand alone machine. SQL Server is installed as a default instance.
Can we upgrade to a cluster without having to change the instance name i.e currently applications connect to this server with hostname of the server i.e SERVERA, can we install a cluster such that sql server can still be called SERVERA.
Can anyone tell me how to migrate everything from a stand alone sql server to a new clusterd environment?
1. Master
2. Msdb
3. Model
4. Jobs
5. DTS packages
6. Logins etc.
P.S. I need to move everything from stand alone to cluster.
Can any one tell best way for each of these?
Thanks,
I am having the following problems and scenarios.
I am moving all of our SSIS packages from a stand alone server to a clustered environment. The old server ran Enterprise Edition, the new server runs Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
One package on the new server is giving me the error messaage DTS_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW when run from a job. The package is stored in MSDB
I went back to the server and ran the following with the following results.
- Connected to SSIS from Management Studio on my desktop and ran the package and got the same error message.
- Did the same as above but was connected to the server through Remote Desktop and it ran fine
- Ran the job, which just runs the package and it ran fine
On the new server it won't run in any scenario.
Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks
I have a SQL 2008 R2 2 node cluster. For DR testing, I need to restore an instance on a new server (completely isolated). The existing instance runs on what I would call an alias. The actual cluster host name is SQLPROD (cluster nodes are SQL01 and SQL02). The instance runs on server SQLPROD-APPLE. The instance is called APPLE. In production, I use SQL Management Studio and I connect to SQLPROD-APPLEAPPLE.
I've setup a new VM to run SQL. Not a cluster. Host name is SQLREC. The new Vm has all the IP addresses that were on the cluster and the DNS for all the aliases are correct. I've installed instance APPLE. I created an alias called SQLPROD-APPLE. When I try to open SQL Management Studio and connect, I can't connect to SQLPROD-APPLEAPPLE. I can connect to localhostAPPLE, SQLRECAPPLE, 192.168.168.50APPLE.
When I attempt to connect to the alias I get error 18452. Pinging the alias resolves correctly. I haven't gotten to the database restore yet, so that's not a concern. I'm just trying to validate the connection first with the correct server and instance names.
I'm using Windows Authentication.
Hello all: looking for some general advice on proper approach. looking to move databases off of a clustered instance to a new (non-clustered) server.
Got several issues i'd like some advice on.
1. This is an OLTP instance that's been around for a while & it's pretty well encrusted with apps & processes that attach to it. Therefore it would be a very good thing if we didn't need to change the connection information in several hundred places after the move.
I've tested one approach to this that seems to work: moved the instance to a server which has the same name as the cluster resource associated with the clustered instance and an instance that has the same name as the clustered instance.
For example: cluster install is aiproddbproduction, moved it to a box called aiproddb with a named instance called "production". There's a bunch of tedious network stuff that has to be done to make this work (binding an IP address to the MAC address of the new box and some murky DHCP reservation fiddling), but after the network crew got done cursing me it did finally work.
Does this seem like a reasonable approach?
2. What's the best way to transfer security info to the new instance? I used the transfer Logins DTS widget but had some problems with it not being able to find some groups in AD.
3. what's the best way to transfer DTS packages?
4. is it necessary for the new instance to be at the same patch level as the old instance? the old clustered instance is still at SP3 and i threw the latest SP4 on the new location. good/bad/indifferent?
5. i was planning on taking a full backup & restoring it to the new machine. Is there a better way? Is the wizard for copying databases a good thing?
Those are these issues i'm aware of and have given some thought to. There are probably things about this i haven't considered and would appreciate some word on.
thanks,
Garth
I am in the process of moving databases from a SQL 2005 Standard version to a 2-node 2014 cluster.All of my 2005 databases back up successfully.They all restore without issue except for one database that has a full text catalog. I get this message
Msg 7610, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Access is denied to "fileStoragedataMSSQLSERVERFullTextCatalog", or the path is invalid.
Msg 3156, Level 16, State 50, Line 2
File 'sysft_FTCatalog' cannot be restored to 'fileStoragedataMSSQLSERVERFullTextCatalog'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.

I went as far as giving the folder full access to everyone temporarily and received the same error.
Hi
We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.
Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?
Thanks
Priyanka
We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2000 Server to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server at the same time. We want to keep downtime to a bare minimum.
What we were thinking was the following steps... Anyone try this?
1. Break the link between the servers.
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Restore a copy of a backup from the active production side to the node we're upgrading and at that point we would bring the active node down, switching the active node to be the newly upgraded server.
4. As a final step, the old active node would now have the link to it broken, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on it and sql server 2005. At this point we would bring it back into the cluster and the cluster would be complete again.
Thoughts?
Friends -
Need your help and guidence for doing upgrading SQL Server 2000 Cluster to SQL Server 2005 Cluster.
Let me explain my current environment.
1. Currently SQL Server 2000 Cluster environment is running on Windows 2000 Server we need to upgrade this to SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 Server. >>> Production environment.
My Plans:
1. On Testing Environment Install SQL Server 2000 cluster on Windows 2003 Server and do a restore of databases from the produciton environment.
2. Upgrade In-Place from SQL Server 2000 Cluster to SQL Server 2005 Cluster.
My doubts
1. Can i install SQL Server 2000 Cluster on Windows 2003 Server. Is it possible or not.
Please advise me and correct my steps.
Cheers

I need to be able to run a DTS package from a computer that doesn't have any SQL tools on it. What do I need to copy over to that machine to do so? dtsrun.exe, dll's, etc.
Thanks
In the following, can anyone tell me what RTM Stands for?
Thanks
Tim
""Transfer Manager is not available in B3 but will be for RTM.""
When I check my product level of the SQL server 2005, it says it is "RTM."
What does RTM stand for?
Is this the first release before SP1 and SP2?
What Does the "SQL" Stand for? I am just starting to teach myself Visual Studio Programing and some other applications. I can build any computer system that is out there and I have; So I think it is now time for me to study modern programing.
I started waching the Visual LESSONS, provided by Microsoft and I must say "Programing has come a long way since Micosoft (BASICA) and (DOS)"..... I am very enthusiastic about the new wave Software laguages....
Computing has been my hobby as well as a outstanding educational tool, I feel that what makes it so great is that you can spend all you life working or playing with them and NEVER reach and end.... So as a retired Machine and ToolMaker I will lean a new field at my own pace.... And Who Knows????????????
Thank you All......... ToolMan59........ Long Life And Good Health to All.......
When I run sp1 on the active node of a 64-bit cluster the setup just hangs when it gets to the Database services part. It does not return any errors as mentioned by others in this forum. I also do not have SqlSupport.msi in the add/remove programs (one suggestion on this forum was to uninstall it reinstall). I have let it run for up to 12 hours with no result.

node a install sql instance 1 failover over to node b
node b install sql instance 2 failover to node a
do I have to setup 2 cluster ? ie. quorum, msdtc etc..
or just one cluster(quorum, ip and name), one msdtc group( as per MS msdtc doc) and 2 san disks (one for node a and one for node b.
is this correct? I have looked and looked for a step by step on setting this up, no where can I find what i need. I downloaded the failover cluster doc from microsoft, book online etc..
thanks
quick overview
2 nodes-cluster setup from node 1
I setup a cluster, created 4 groups
1.cluster 2.msdtc 3.sqlinstance1 4.sqlinstance2
I want to create an activepassive on both nodes. (onenode will be the active node for on sql install while the other is passive.
I want to repeat this fo rthe second node, the second node being active and node 1 passive.
I logged into node 1 and I installed sql 2005 in failover cluster into sqlinstance 1., everyhting was fine, failover etc.
Now I logged into node 2 and ran sql 2005 setup to create a failover cluster.
I chose to install into sql instance 2.
Database unable to install with error "failed to set registry settings for server network libraries. acition is setdefaults.error 11001, no such host is known.
If I am not setting this up correclty please let me know
thanks
everything was fine. I logged onto node 2, was going to

Hi guys
I have just recently inherited a sql server 2005 cluster (2 nodes) we have a situation coming up where i need to power down the whole cluster for several hours as a result of some power mains work.
I just need to confirm with someone the correct way to power down the whole cluster and power it back up once the power is restored the company. I appreciate this may not be the best place to have posted this but i am desperate and couldn't find another location.
many thanks for any help

Anyone know before I invest in the hardware if it is possible to have Two Clusters on the same hardware both in Active/Passive Clustering where Cluster1 and Cluster2 both use the Default SQL Server 2005 Instance (No Named Instances)?
This would be a Virtual Cluster with Two separate 2 node Clusters on the Same Hardware sharing the same OS and SQL.
Thanks in Advance,
Best,
JD

Hi,
I am new to sql server 2005.. Is it possible to install this on a win xp PC? I tried installing it and when I launch it it asks for a server name..
How do I point it to look in local databases?
Any help on getting started is appreciated..
Thanks
I have YET to have a 100% CLEAN install of SQL 2005 in a clustered environment. SQL 2005 Std. was not so bad, I think I finally managed a 99% clean install (no script errors on patches) on the third try.
SQL 2005 EE keeps erroring off on 2153 patch install. The error logs are no help at all; they simply stop logging activity at about the point that the error occurs.
For a premier product, this installation SUCKS.
Whooo. Okay. I feel better.
Here's my situation:
4-node Cluster (Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition), SP1
SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition
Process:
Install OS
Patch OS to SP1
Cluster OS on SAN
Configure Cluster Groups (DBC01, DBC02, DBC03) with cluster disks
Configure MSDTC (network access, configure cluster resources)
Start SQL Installation
Install RTM Binaries on Node 1 for Default Instance
Install Workstation and non-cluster components on remaining nodes
Install RTM Binaries on Node 2 for Named Instance
Reboot all nodes
Install SP1 for all instances from node 1
Install SP1 for all local services/applications for all other nodes
While attempting to install the 2153 SQL patch/hotfix, the process will either:
Hang while waiting for the first passive node for the default instance; or
Crash immediately with no error messages in the logs.
This is no nearly detailed enough, I know. I'm missing error messages and more. It's snowing outside and I have to get home. I just think that the installation for this product in a clustered environment is very unstraightforward at best, and at worst is a real liability to an organization since it's practically impossible to get it clean the first time through.

According to SP1 documentation patching the Active node in a cluster will automatically apply the SP1 patch to the Passive nodes. However, I found a MS document that says if you have management tools installed on the passive node, you must patch this node separately. Is this correct?
Also, since Integration Services is not cluster-aware and therefore must be installed separately to the passive node(s), does SP1 need to be applied directly to the passive node(s) to patch Integration Services or is it automatically patched when I patch the Active node?
Thanks, Dave
I am trying to remove Analysis Server from a cluster. I have done the research and according to MS you can't use the regular add/remove programs dialog to remove a component. You have to use the setup.exe from the command line.
This article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910230) explains at the very bottom to run this command "Start /wait <DiskDrive>setup.exe /qb REMOVE=Analysis_Server INSTANCENAME=<InstanceName>". Well I do that and I get the installer up and running but when it gets to that system configuration check screen, where it runs a bunch of checks on the nodes, it just closes before it does any checks and nothing further happens. I can't find any error in the event log or find any log files on disk related to why its just closing.
Just to investigate further, I wondered what executable was running when you ran the installer though the add/remove programs dialog, so I looked in the registry. Well along with the SQL Server 2005 entry, which runs the setup bootstrap program in your default install folder, I noticed an entry that was idenified only by its GUID. Looking at the sub keys I noticed the DisplayName was Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. The UninstallString key was set to "MsiExec.exe /I{52B0D62A-860D-4136-9A8A-9FD877E8EE89}" so I ran that. The installer seems to work, but it doesnt run any configuration checks. I get to the screen with the big button to change components with no errors. Then it acutally shows Analysis Services installed (the disk icon is not xed out), I can then click and select entire feature will be unavailable. I haven't proceeded on this step because I am worried about the cluster.
I am assuming that this uninstaller will only remove analysis services from the node its running on. This is fine, cause I can just run this same procedure on all the nodes... and then i would assume I would have to manually clean up the cluster resource. But I have not tested this, and unfortuanlly I don't have a development cluster to try this on.
Does anyone have experience with removing Analysis Services from a failover cluster environment?

When you try to re-apply SP2 for SQL 2005 on node added to cluster it continously fails?
Only way to apply SP2 is to shut down original node(with SP2 allready applied) and then apply SP2 and hotfixes on additional node!
I would like to see some reply from SQL support team for this 'issue'. Is this normal? This bring many issues when you have more than one sql on 2 node cluster....etc
any explanation is appreciated

We are trying to install SQL Server on a cluster that has 4 nodes, 3 of them running SQL2k. We're getting an error in the setup after it is done with Framework:
Failed to find property "ComputerList" {"SqlComputers", "", ""} in cache
... Source File Name: datastoremachineconfigscopeproperties.cpp
Compiler Timestamp: Wed Aug 24 13:40:04 2005
Function Name: SqlInstallConfigScope.InstanceName
....-
Error: Could not find an install of type 3 for instance SQL ##
We think it's due to a directory and item in the registry for a server instance we used to run on this server, but no longer due as it was uninstalled and the server moved to this cluster. The directory doesn't show in other nodes in the cluster, but does in the cluster it was moved from. We continue to find that 2nd instance refuses to failover to this server also. We have determined that it€™s only the SQL server which is having issues as we were able to move the disks over. When we start the SQL service it pops back to 2nd instances home server.
I have a two node failover cluster with SQL 2005 installed. I am running Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise and SQL 2005 x64 Enterprise. When I try the SP2 upgrade, I basically get an error message saying no passive nodes were succesfully patched. I have tried installing from the active node and the virtual server, same results with both. I have also tried the LMHOSTS file addition that Microsoft recommends, but that didnt solve the problem either. We do have an MSDTC Resource set up, as I have read this may cause problems, but it still doesnt work.
I dont know what to do next, any ideas?

Just to confirm I do need to run SQL 2005 SP2 on the passive node. but the passive node should be rebooted.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave recently performed an in-place upgrade of a 2 instance sql cluster from 2000 to 2005. The upgrade process went relatively smoothly. However, I am running into problems installed sp2. The first problem that I run into is that I have resrcmon.exe locked. I can click next, which is fine, but once I get past that point I get stuck during the installation process. I am updating DatabaseServices and Integration Services. It gets stuck on 'Awaiting first complete passive cluster node SQL-Test'. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

I have windows server 2003 service pack 1 and sql server 2005 service
pack 1 - 64 bit. Sometimes it happens in the middle of the night. Sometimes it's in the middle of the day and sometimes it's multiple times in the same day. Sometimes the server reboots, but does not failover.
Any help is appreciated
