Using CSV (Cluster Share Volume) Support Filestream Feature?
Jul 22, 2015I am looking for information on using CSV storage for a windows 2012r2 Hyper-V cluster configuration.
The cluster will be used by SQL Server 2014.
Mainly, does it support filestream.I have not found much documentation for using Cluster shared volumes with SQL Server 2014.There was a session at Tech-Ed 2014 on the subject.
SQL Server 2014 is the first version to support CSV storage.
Mount Points
Nov 23, 2006I know how to create mount point in windows 20003 cluster, I am not sure how
to set it up with SQL 2005 running on the cluster.
Does sql need to be dependant on any of the disks? I have tried looking for
a guide, but cannot find.
current setup active active cluster running. I need to add san space which
will hold the databases. The san will be carved up into drive letters. each
drive letter will hold 3 mount points.
ie.
node 1
J:-2 mount point
k:2 mount point
l:2 mount point
node 2-
r:-2 mount point
s:2 mount point
t:2 mount point
each node would be able to own the disk if the other node failed over.
any help is appreciate. I have tried books online etc.. cannot find a good
step by step.;
thanks
Scalability With Mount Points
Feb 28, 2008I understand mount points help scalability in easier maintenance.
By scalability do we mean more than 26 drive letters or it means adding more space to the same mount point letter on with more ease .
Can I add more space to a mountpoint if required later on by adding hard disks .
Also if one can give some pointers to good file group configuration guidelines / storage align partitions , it will be very much helpful
Further I my server CPU has 4 cores , will having 4 filegroups help me in improving system performance.
If SAN has 2 controllers , is it preferred to run data file partition on one controller and log file partition on another.
Thanks in advance.
Monitoring Mount Points
Sep 25, 2007Hello,
We have a requirement to be able to monitor mount points. The xp_fixeddrives does not support mount point monitoring. Is there another way to do it. Does microsoft working on updating the xp_fixeddrives. Let me know if anyone has any ideas how to monitor mount points.
Thanks
Is It Safe To Use Volume Mount Points With SQL 2005?
Jul 20, 2006Hello,
To implement the new SQL 2005, I plan to make the environment easy to manage. The environment should be simple to document and be automated via scripts. Therefore I plan to use mount points as described below.
On a typical SQL server with multiple drives like C, D, E, F, G, H. Where each drive will have various folders to hold SQL code, data files, transaction log files, tempdb files, snapshot files, and other types of files. This typical environment is not pretty and is hard to write scripts for.
So I plan to standardize on one standard directory structure via volume mount point. On all new SQL 2005 servers, we should see drive E as the one and only SQL Server directory. Other drives will be mounted to drive E as shown.
E:
SQLSERVER local folder -sql code for each db instance
SQLSHARED local folder -sql shared tools for all db instances
SQLTLOG1 Drive H -db transaction log
SQLSNAP1 Drive F -db snapshot files
SQLTEMPDB1 Drive H -tempdb main data file
SQLWORK Drive D - DBA work area
SQLDATA1 Drive G -db data files
SQLDATA2 Future Drive -if SQLDATA1 is too large for any direct attached drive, or to get more I/O throughput.
With this implementation, I can easily write scripts to manage the environment. Also if any mounted volume is out of space, we can swap the based drive without doing any change to database configuration. We can also switch from direct attached drive to SAN in the future.
Do you think mount point is safe to use with SQL 2005? I know it is supported.
Do you have a standard directory structure for your environment? How do you do it?
Thanks,
KTMD

Nov 1, 2015I am attempting to restore a backup of a 2008 R2 database to my new 2012 instance. I am receiving the message, "FILESTREAM feature is not supported on user instances." I am running v11.0.5343.0 (X64), Express Edition.I was under the impression from the features supported page [URL] .... that FILESTREAM was supported across editions.

Jul 16, 2015We have a server with a database with filestream enabled. The filestream data is in a filegroup with three files spread across 3 LUNs F:, G:, and H: each with a capacity of 1.8 TB.
The file stream containers in those three LUNs reference the same column in the same table.
The F: Drive has only 64 GB free space left. The H: However has around 700 GB free.
We are looking to move some filestream content from the container in F: to the container in H:.
SQL 2012 :: Moving Filestream To Another Database?
Oct 26, 2015Our development organization has created an application employing FILESTREAM, which through the pilot has been incorporated into a schema within our Data Warehouse Staging database. Going to production, the development and BI teams have determined that they want it separated out into a separate database, and they'd like to separate it in the current pilot environment (DEV).
How can I best move (or at least copy) the existing FILESTREAM data from the current database into a new one?
SQL 2012 :: Filestream To Store Office Documents?
Jun 26, 2014I have been asked to look into using Filestream for centralising MS Office documents (mostly excel).I am worried about the "user interface" aspect.I read that there are "this and that" APIs to read/write data to the filestream but surely one would need to write a specific interface to Word/Excel... which feels like far too hard.I am a great admirer of SQL Server but is it the right tool for document management?
We use SQL Server 2012 and have offices round the world with various internet connection quality.Our main aim is to stop the current "spreadsheet nightmare" so common with Excel.

SQL 2012 :: Deleting Already Duplicated Filestream Files?
Feb 8, 2015I have three FileStreams (FS1 on F drive, FS2 on H drive, FS3 on E drive) belonging to the same FileStream group of one particular database (DB) which is in Simple recovery mode in the SQL Server 2012.
FS1 contains huge number of files due to which F drive is completely full.
So, I am trying to move some of the extra files from one FileStream (FS1 on F drive) to another FileStreams (FS2 on H drive and FS3 on E drive) using command:
dbcc shrinkfile('FS1', emptyfile)
Then, I take the Full and Differential backup of the database and issue the CheckPoint and try to delete the already duplicated files from the Filestream FS1 to get some space in the F drive using command:
sp_filestream_force_garbage_collection @dbname = 'DB' , @filename = 'FS1'
But still no files get deleted and I receive the output as such:
file_name num_collected_items num_marked_for_collection_items num_unprocessed_items last_collected_lsn
DB_FS1 0 0 0 25000001749500000
how to delete these already duplicated files.
SQL 2012 :: Piecemeal Restore With Filestream Database?
Sep 9, 2015We have one database with Filestream enabled. There is one table "dbo.files" which uses Filestream.
We created a filestream filegroup Filegroup1 and added 3 data containers to it. (3 filestream data containers within the same filegroup.)
We have three LUNs F:, G:, H: each with a capacity of 2TB (That is the limitation). F: and G: are almost full. So, I restricted their growth so inserts do not happen into these data containers. Inserts are now going into H: drive which has lots of free space. Our application code prevents any sort of deletes or updates to this table. So data in the growth restricted containers will never change.
Now the database is around 6 TB in size and backups is a challenge. We are contemplating on migrating storage to netAPP and use their snapmanager console which is much faster.
However, until then, we need a solution with native SQL backups. We tried partial backups and piecemeal restore.
WE tried this on a test server :
1) Partial backup only the read-only data containers first, (F: and G:) (The plan is to back these up just once a month as this data never changes).
2) Partial backup the primary filegroup plus the third data container in the Filestream filegroup which is subject to inserts (H:)
While restoring, we tried the online restore, First, I restored the backup obtained from step 2 above with recovery option. Then I restored the backup obtained from step 1 with recovery. I see that the database was brought online. However, when I try to query the dbo.files table, I get an error stating that some files of the filestream filegroup are offline.

Update Cur_points With Cur_points+points, Then Wipe Points (was Help Needed Please)
Jun 22, 2007Greetings everyone, I'm posting this thread with the hope that someone will notice it and might offer me a helping hand regarding one of my problems.I have the database named "DBEXAMPLE" with the table MEMB_INFO that contains two important columns that are named cur_points and points where cur_points column contains the total available points that a member can use/spend on a game and the points column stores the total of the points that a member used so far.So as i plan to wipe all data of the database, i need to keep the member login,password and total points that each member purchased.So i will somehow need to update the cur_points column with the total of current cur_points+points columns and then wipe points column.I've personally asked a friend regarding this and he said that this should be something complicated and it might require php also.Really appreciate if someone could help me regarding this.small schema:Database: DBEXAMPLETable: MEMB_INFOColumn cur_points -> total available points that a member can spendColumn points -> total points that the member has already spentColumn memb___id -> member login aka account idTODO -> update cur_points column with the total of cur_points+points columns for each member(buyer)With best regards.

Jun 5, 2014I am trying to build a query which will be used in an automated report to calculate failure rates of systems based on cases opened through support. Here is where I am stuck. Some systems may have multiple cases opened within the same span of another cases however we would consider this one failure:
System ACase12013-07-11 13:17:09.0002013-07-15 12:05:03.000
System ACase22013-07-12 16:27:50.0002013-07-12 16:29:12.000

System ACase52013-10-01 18:02:23.0002013-10-01 18:11:26.000
Lets say System A generated those 5 cases however Case 2,3 and 4 all happened within the same period as Case 1 so those 4 cases should count as one failure so my end result should be
System ACase12013-07-11 13:17:09.0002013-07-15 12:05:03.000
System ACase52013-10-01 18:02:23.0002013-10-01 18:11:26.000
And that system should show me 2 failures. I was thinking of using a temp table but not sure if that is possible as I am stumped on how to compare the dates to be able to validate if they fall within the range of an older case and whether or not to include them into the new Temp Table.
Recovery Of Database On A Mount Point
Jul 26, 2007
When restoring a database where the data file(s) are located under a mount point, seems to be a problem with reporting free space available.
DB Size - Say 30GB (25 Data, 5 Log)
E: Drive 20GB with 15GB Free
Restoring database file to
E:SQLMountPoint
- This points to separate disk with more than enough free space
SQL prevents the restore by stating there is not enough free space.
A long work around is
assign a drive letter to the large disk
Restore database using temp drive letter - F:SQLDATAMyDB_Data.mdf
Update sysfiles - changing drive & path - E:SQLMountPointSQLDATAMyDB_Data.mdf
Stop & restart database...
Is there a better way???
Wishlist - Restore only warns about free space - but allows continue...

Support For SQL Express2005 My Host Provider Does Not Provide Support?
Dec 5, 2005Reader Community
I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. "
Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database?
I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider?
Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition?
Look forward to all comments?

Can't Create File At The Root Level Of Mount Point
Sep 14, 2006Dear all,
I was trying to create filegroup and files on Mount Point, e.g. C:MOUNTFG1D1
If I try this:
.......
FILENAME = 'C:MOUNTFG1D1FG1F1.ndf',
It doesn't work, no matter what ACL I set on C:, C:MOUNT, or C:MOUNTFG1D1
But if I do this:
......
FILENAME = 'C:MOUNTFG1D1DATAFG1F1.ndf',
It will work, no need to set any ACL at all.
Any ideas?

DB Engine :: Failover Cluster Instance With Mount Point
Jun 25, 2014I've a fresh installation of SQL Server 2014 Enterprise on Windows Server 2012R2. I've setup de Windows Server Failover Cluster and the validation test has been successfully passed. I use mountpoint so I've disk M: that is the host drive for mounted volume m:Isql2014A that is the base folder for mounted volume
On that folder I've 5 mountpoint:
1) m:isql2014a empdbdata
2) m:isql2014a empdblog
3) m:isql2014auserdata
4) m:isql2014auserlog
5) m:isql2014auserlog
into these 5 mountpoint I've placed the SQL Server files.
After the installation of the first FCI I've re-run the cluster validation wizard and again it has passed successfully. When I try to failover the instance from one node to the other I have 2 problem:
1) every time I do failover, some disks fail to come online for a while and then succeed :
Cluster resource 'CLD - IstA - TempDB Data' of type 'Physical Disk' in clustered role 'SQL Server (ISQL2014A)' failed. The error code was '0xaa' ('The requested resource is in use.').
2) sometimes the SQL Server service fails to start, in the error log I see that the master database is not accessible. The master database in into the m:isql2014abinbackup.
SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Backing Up To Mount Point - Perfmon Shows Zero Writes
Apr 20, 2015Im backing up to a network directory thats actually a mount point on a different server.My backup was slower than usual so i opened up perfmon to have a look.
When selecting the mount point from the Logical Disks section in perfmon i can see that writes/sec & write bytes/sec both show zero for a long period of time, even though the backup percent complete is increasing.Then all of a sudden the writes to the network share jump massively.
Is there some caching mechanism for backups in sql where during a backup data is only flushed to the disk periodically during backup?

SQL Server 2008 :: Filestream On Partitioned Table
Jun 12, 2015I'm having a problem creating a partitioned table with a filestream column. I'm getting error: Cannot create table 'MyTable' since a partition scheme is not specified for FILESTREAM data
CREATE TABLE MyTable

I actually managed to get the table created. The table below gets created. I had to specifically indicate that the unique constraint is on [PRIMARY] (non-partitioned) and create a partition scheme in the filestram filegroup. However my problem now is with partition switching. I successfully created a non-partitioned staging table identical to the partitioned table, but the switching operation doesn't work.

PartitionID SMALLINT,

I get error:
'ALTER TABLE SWITCH' statement failed. The table 'MyTable' is partitioned while index 'UQNP_MyTable_IndexGUID' is not partitioned.
However, I can't drop the non-partitioned unique index on MyTable as it violates the filestream, and would make the table unusable.
Recovery :: Setup FILESTREAM On Failover Cluster
Apr 22, 2015I saw following point on Technet article about RBS.The local FILESTREAM provider is supported only when it is used on local hard disk drives or an attached Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) device. You cannot use the local RBS FILESTREAM provider on remote storage devices such as network attached storage (NAS).It looks like that we cannot use FILESTREAM on Failover Cluster because to setup Failover Cluster we need to have NAS. But then the NAS is made available locally for Failover Cluster so FILESTREAM should work right?Found another article which talks about setting up FILESTREAM on Failover Cluster. URL...
