SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Read Only DNS Listener Failover Automation From Primary To Secondary

Mar 23, 2015

I have a 2 node cluster with 2 standalone 2k14 instances having alwayson setup. As per client requirement we have created a client access point with a cname alias in dns to connect to secondary replica. Now, everytime whenerver the roles switch over one has to manually move this resource from the previous secondary node to the new secondary node. This is tedious, and should not be done manually either, so I am looking for a way to automate it so that as soon as the role switches over, the resource group after some time should also switch over to the current secondary.

Env details
xa (current primary)
y2a (secondary)

client access point (resource group): aglreadtest

SQL 2012 :: Failover On 2 Servers AlwaysOn AG With Read-only Secondary Replica

Mar 28, 2014

What happens when an automatic failover occurs, in a two server AlwaysOn Availability Group configuration, where the secondary replica is configured as read-only?

Will it only allow read-only connections, or will it become read-write and can accept INSERT, UPDATES and DELETES when assigned the new role as Primary?

Is it correct that adding a third server/node, that just acts as passive and should be used for automatic failover, to support true HADR, would NOT need another license .. and that licenses would only be required for the previous Primary and Secondary (Read-Only) replicas?

SQL 2012 :: Primary Server Went Down And Unable To Failover Services To Second Node

Mar 27, 2015

y'day we faced situation one of the primary server went down and unable to failover the services to second node . by checking in logs we found

Cluster network 'Public' is partitioned. Some attached failover cluster nodes cannot communicate with each other over the network. The failover cluster was not able to determine the location of the failure. 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 adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges.

SQL 2012 :: VLFs On AlwaysOn Primary Replica After Log Backup From Secondary

Aug 6, 2014

I was working on a job to send me info each morning about database file free space and was noticing some odd things when looking at the log file VLFs for one of my databases in an AlwaysOn availability group.When I run DBCC LOGINFO on the secondary replica for this database, I get what I expect and most VLFs have a status of 0 (indicating the VLFs are reusable or unused). When I run DBCC LOGINFO on the primary replica, all of the VLFs have a status of 2 (active or recoverable).

Since log backups on the secondary replica in AlwaysOn still truncate the log in the primary replica, I would expect that the VLFs in the primary replica would also be mostly in a reusable or unused state. My log file sizes are the same size on each server and my backups are completing successfully. what might be causing the VLFs on the primary replica to have a status of 2 in DBCC LOGINFO when taking log backups from the secondary replica?

SQL 2012 :: Local Backup Strategy On Primary With Transaction Log Shipping Enabled To Secondary DR Site

Oct 2, 2014

I have a scenario where a customer is going to be using Log Shipping to the DR site; however, we need to maintain the normal backup strategy on the current system. (i.e. Nightly Full, Every 6 Hour Differential and Hourly Transaction Log backup)I know how to setup Transaction Log Shipping and Fail-over to DR and backup but now the local backup strategy is going to be an issue. I use the [URL] .... maintenance solution currently.

Is it even possible to do regular backups locally keeping data integrity for your backup strategy with Transaction Log Shipping enabled?

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.

Mirroring :: Manual Failover Did Not Get Back Database On Secondary Server?

Jun 22, 2015

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

Primary &&amp; Secondary Server

Dec 31, 2006

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

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 :: Log Shipping - Reboot Secondary Node And Then Primary Node

Apr 20, 2015

I have not used log shipping before and find myself in a position where I need to reboot the secondary node and then the primary node and I don't actually need to failover.

Is there anything I need to be aware of. When rebooting the secondary node I assume the transactions will be held in the primary nodes log till the secondary comes back and just carry on once back up?

When rebooting the primary node nothing needs to be done and the log shipping will just start again once it has come back?

Transact SQL :: Results From Secondary Server Inside Primary Server

Jul 14, 2015

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?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Primary Filegroup For System Objects / Secondary For Data

Recovery :: Cluster Failover - Failed To Bring Secondary Node Online?

Oct 19, 2010

Server : Windows server 2008
DB Server : SQL Server 2008 (SP1)
 
Here are the series of events which happened.

1.) Event ID: 1135
Cluster node 'XYZ' 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 bridges.

2.) Event ID: 1049
Cluster IP address resource 'SQL IP Address 1 (XYZ)' cannot be brought online because a duplicate IP address '10.9.8.113' was detected on the network.  Please ensure all IP addresses are unique.

3.) Event ID: 1069
Cluster resource 'SQL IP Address 1 (XYZ)' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.

4.) Event ID: 1049
Cluster IP address resource 'Cluster IP Address' cannot be brought online because a duplicate IP address '10.9.8.112' was detected on the network.  Please ensure all IP addresses are unique.

5.) Event ID: 1069
Cluster resource 'Cluster IP Address' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed.

6.) Event ID: 1066
Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 25' indicates corruption for volume '?Volume{88552e6f-aea2-11df-9790-0026b92fffa7}'. Chkdsk is being run to repair problems. The disk will be unavailable until Chkdsk completes. Chkdsk output will be logged to file 'C:WindowsClusterReportsChkDsk_ResCluster Disk 25_Disk16Part1.log'. Chkdsk may also write information to the Application Event Log.

7.) Event ID : 1066
Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 26' indicates corruption for volume '?Volume{88552e05-aea2-11df-9790-0026b92fffa7}'. Chkdsk is being run to repair problems. The disk will be unavailable until Chkdsk completes. Chkdsk
output will be logged to file 'C:WindowsClusterReportsChkDsk_ResCluster Disk 26_Disk4Part1.log'. Chkdsk may also write information to the Application Event Log.

8.) Event ID: 1049
  (Same message as point 2)

9.) Event ID: 1069
     (Same message as point 3)

10.) Event ID : 1049
(same message as point 4)

11.) Event ID :1069 
(same message as point 5)

12.) Event ID :1205
The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application.

13.) Event ID: 1069
Cluster resource 'Cluster Disk 17' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.

14.) Event D : 1049
(same message as point 2)

15.) Event ID: 1069
Cluster resource 'SQL IP Address 1 (XYZ)' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.

16.) Event ID : 1205
 The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application.
 
first of all,I went through all the logs, and could not find the reason for fail-over initialization. There should be some thing logged why the failover happened? secondly after failover the service was not coming online due to duplicate IP address detection.

Later when we try  to manually bring the service online from cluster management it comes online successfully. I don't understand how would duplicate IP address get resolved when we start manually.

Lastly we see few errors related to physical disk resource between failover retries, is this could be the correlated to failover error ?

Difference Between Multiple Primary And Secondary Files..

Apr 10, 2006

Hi all..!If I want to split an SQL DB into several physical files (as its 500GBdisk ran out of space, won't even run shrinks any more, and we boughtanother 500GB disk to add to the PC)then what is the difference between:Adding another File to the primary group which will reside on the newgroup;Adding another file in another group.We do not want to set any db objects (Tables, indexes)to a secondary file, as this will involve lengthy data movingoperations. We would like the DB to continue working from where it isutilizing the added space in a contigous (striped) manner.Will striping occur in both cases? as I understand striping it meansthat our stuck SQL Server will awake back to life as it will now have500GB more data for its DB, even though we haven't set any of itsobjects (tables, indexes) to explicitly use the secondary NDF file onthe new disk?or will it only utilize the new space if we set some objects to resideon that NDF?for example if we run large queries which crash now (due to lack ofspace) when we add the second drive will they start to work as theprocess will grow striped from the full drive to the new drive, even ifall the queries' source tables are all still set to the old drive?Thanks for any replies?

I have a database around 500 GB. right now the database have only one data file and one log, it has only one filegroup also.all the indexes and table are placed in Primary Filegroup . we are going to separate them. the planing is to move all the indexes to Secondary filegroup and all the table will be in Primary filegroup.But there will be a problem while implementing it because there are around 600 tables and each table have at least 2 non-clustered index , so is there any way to move all the index to Secondary Filegroup.

SQL 2012 :: Role Based Server Security

Sep 20, 2015

There is a STIG Check that does not allow grant "Connect SQL" directly to any logins except SQL System and the SA account. My way of resolving this is to do the following:

Step One:
We create a Server Role called SQL_APPLICATIONS – for the application accounts
We create a Server Role called SQL_DBA – for the DBA accounts
and give them direct “Connect SQL’ server permissions. MAKE THE ROLE OWNER = sysadmin (group)

Note: I think that creating a Server Role is only available starting with SQL Server 2012, but not sure. I am using SQL 2012

Step two:
I add the members (Logins - SQL & Windows) – in this case any application accounts and DBA accounts to the new roles respectively

Step three:
I remove the “Connect SQL” Permission from each Login

The first problem i noticed is that the maintenance plans failed with "The owner domainusername of job db_backup does not have server access.I am currently using a test system and wondered If you think I will have trouble with the application connecting when I try and implement on the production systems.

SQL Server 2012 :: Remove Named Instance From Failover Cluster

Oct 13, 2014

In QA we have a two-node cluster with four instances of sql. In trying to add a fifth, I was given an IP address already in use so the install hung.

I removed it from the cluster but it is still there in the registry etc on the node I was working on.

I read about using the maintenance tab of the sql server install to "remove a node" but the terminology is confusing. To me a node is a physical server and an instance is an instance of sql server -- not the same at all but they are often referred to as the same thing.

I definitely don't want to remove one of the servers from the cluster.

Primary SERVER (SERVER A)
Secondary SERVER (SERVER B) Log shipped to via GUI.
THIRD SERVER (SERVER X) which will contain the same log shipped db from server A.

This will simply restore the logs from a network share to keep the db up to date.
