Registered Servers
Apr 13, 2008On the machine on which I want to put my database, there is already a Registered server called berlinsophos - berlin is the name of the machine and sophos relates to the anti-virus system that has been installed on this computer. I added my database to this server - but on reflection have thought that this might not be best practice since the Sophos so closely tied with computer security. Or perhaps, it was just a name that the person setting up the server gave the name to the first registered SQL Server on the machine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Registered Servers Are Unavailable
Jul 13, 2007So I've had some issues upgrading to SQL Server Mgmt Studio Dev from Express. I finally got everything upgraded / installed and I see the instances that I was using with Express in my Registered Servers window but I can't connect to any of them. After looking in my Microsoft SQL Server directory I noticed that there are no MSSQL.# folders. How can I recreate these or create a new instance on my local machine?

Mar 9, 2004Just got a new workstation and installed Enterprise Manager. Is there an easy way to migrate the registered servers from the old workstation to the new one.
I have about 30 servers defined under 6 groups. It would certainly be a lot easier if there was a file I could drag from one workstation to another.

May 15, 2006I have SQL Server 2000 installed on one hard drive. I just installed SQL Server 2000 to another hard drive. I'd like to be able to transfer all the registered servers (including the group they belonged to) to the new SQL Server. Is there an easy way to do this? Otherwise, it seems that I have to go to "Client Network Utility" and register each server again, which are a lot of servers.

The Problem is now we need to Replicate a Database from one Virtual SQL Sever to the other.
The Second one (clusterd environment)is stroing their database localy while the First One (clustered environment)is storing database in a shared storage.
Note that Both Server are used for sperate purpose , but we now need to set replication on the Other Clustered Setup for Reporting Purpose.
Will it work if we configure replication from One SQL Server Clustered Setup to the Other Clstered Setup.
If yes, then please let me know how it can be done ?

Urgent!! - SQL Server Failing On A Clustered Environment -
Oct 10, 2001Hello,
Yesterday, our server 'failed over' to the passive node in our clustered environment. We are running Windows NT, with MSSQL 7.0. What triggered the fail over, according to the logs, was an error in tempdb. Basically, the error said that tempdb could not be expanded, (could not create any more space for tempdb).
The drive that tempdb database is located on has more than enough room. The tempdb is set at 300M, and can grow to over 700M. The drive that tempdb is on
has over 19Gig of space on it.
One other important piece of information is that the drive where our production database is on and the tempdb is quite full. The 19 gig that is left over represents only about 5 percent of the disk.
Can anyone shed some light on why the sql server would have failed over when trying to expand tempdb, when there was sufficient resources to handle that growth? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Could this be another error? When we restarted the server (both nodes and the disk array) the production database came back as suspect. Most of the stuff in BOL points to the space issue. The production database is around 37 gig.
Any help would be appreaciated
thanks,

Uninstalling SQL Server 2005 64-bit In Clustered Environment
May 20, 2008I am running into an issue trying to uninstall SQL Server 2005 64-bit. It hangs at the same point: Removing backup files. I then get a message that, "The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Completing Commit. The error is: The cluster resource cannot be moved to another group because other resources are dependent on it." The instance that I am trying to uninstall is in a cluster hosting two other SQL Server installations. I have tried a few combinations when attempting to uninstall: running the cluster group containing the server I am uninstalling on a different cluster node than all the other cluster groups; running them all on the same node. The only one I haven't tried is moving the Cluster Group containing the IP address of the cluster, cluster name, etc to another node while running the other groups on the other node. Has anyone run into this issue? Each of the nodes has been rebooted several times during these attempts and we are using Windows Server 2003 Clustering. Again, the hang happens at the same point every time. The exact error(s) from the even log are as follows:
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) -- Error 29528. The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Completing Commit. The error is: The cluster resource cannot be moved to another group because other resources are dependent on it.
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) -- Error 29530. Failed to set registry settings for server network libraries. The action is SetShilohRoot. The error is 2 (The system cannot find the file specified.

Clustered Servers & Backup
Jun 30, 2000I am trying to install failover support for my sql server 7.0 database on the in clustere server enviorment
Now We have operating system on two clusterd servers but just one common database disk
Now what will happen if i lose server A ( Active ) the server B will take over and use the same database . But what will
happen if database disk crashes IS it possible for me to replicate the data or use disk mirroring , or have one clustered
database server seperate
How does the database server cluster work ?
What kind of replication do i use for my backup support ?
what should be my recovery process ?
how can i use standby option on the database during recovery ?
Please try to reply as soon as possible
if you can also point to some documetation on the net that will also help
Also look at my current structure ( but this should not affect your answer )
Tables
group 1 --- 20 tables ( being replicated to server c )
group 2 ----60 tables
on cluster 1
Server A-- Holds Group 1 ( Transictional replication to server c )
on cluster 2
server B---(Production server ) Group 2 + Group 1
Is Replication From Clustered Servers Possible?

If yes, how to go about doing this. Any white papers, KB articles or books out there which will walk through the steps to do it.
Appriciate any help.

Change Subnet And IP On Clustered Servers
Jun 2, 2003According to Microsoft, if you need to change the subnet for the clustered servers, you will need to either edit the registry or reinstall virtual SQL Server.
Does any one know which registry key(s) store the subnet information? I was reviewing the clustered key but was able to find the key for the IP address only.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSQL Server Replication From Non-clustered Database Servers
Jun 22, 2006Hello,Being a bit of a SQL Server novice, need some advice with the followingsituation.Server A and Server B have SQLServer 2000 based databases. The vendorof the application/system has implemented their own replication processto ensure the 2 databases are in sync. However, there is no clusteringwith virtual IP addresses implemented. So to an external client/db, itis 2 identical databases with the same name on 2 distinct servers.We need to develop an application that will reside on a networkedserver C and with SQLServer 2000 as well. While most of the tables inthis database are self contained, around 10 tables will have to bemirror copies of the same tables from either Server A or Server B.Question, how do we implement subscription based replication on top ofa redundant database, when no clustering is implemented? So, inessence, when Server A is alive, the database on Server C willperiodically (or on change) replicate the 10 tables from Server A. WhenServer A is not alive, it needs to do same from server B. (When bothserver A and B are alive, it is acceptable to get data from either,since they are synchronized internally).Any alternate suggestions on achieving this functionality are welcometoo. If SQL Server 2005 has some capabilities that may address thisproblem, that is a consideration as well.Thanks

Already have SQL2008 installed, and it works fine and great.Needed to install 2012 alongside for another project. Heard it should be fine to have both running. So I did. Installed MDS, DQS, SSIS, Service, and management tools. Launching SSMS 2012, when I click the "new query" button... I get the following error: library not registered.

DB Engine :: Unable To Start Distributed Transaction Between Two Clustered Servers?
Jul 2, 2015I have 4 servers, 2 each for application (Dev & Prod)
DEV 1 & DEV 2 are standalone servers
Prod 1 & Prod 2 are Windows Clustered Servers.
From one application to other we do Distributed transactions. Dev 1 - Dev 2 or Dev 2 - Dev 1 can start DTC and working fine,but issue comes when Prod 1 - Prod 2 or Prod 2 - Prod 1. I get error message OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "xyz" returned message "No transaction is active.".
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "xyz" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
I have tested Dev 1 - Prod 1, Dev 1 - Prod 2, Dev 2 - Prod 1, Dev 2 - Prod 2 everything is working fine only Production servers are causing issue.
I enabled all settings needed for DTC on Cluster MSDTC service but no luck.
Post SP2-Hotfixes Fails To Install Database Services On Clustered Servers With System Dbs On Non-default Location
Jan 9, 2008Hi,
We've had this issue for awhile, but I have not been able to find a resolution for this. We have 2 identical servers (hardware & software) set-up: IBM x3850-(88633RU) running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 (5.2.3790 SP1 Build 3790 R2). Server A was running SP1 (Build 9.0.2047) on a 3-node active-passive-passive failover cluster. Server B was running SP2 + Hotfix KB933097 (Build 9.0.3152) on a 2-node active-passive failover cluster. Both these servers are heavily utilized, and when originally installed with these versions of SQL Server Enterprise 2005 experienced no issues during or post-install. The original install of SQL 2005 Enterprise on both these servers had the Cluster Group Selection "Data files" setting changed to "M:MICROSOFT SQL SERVER" so that all system dbs and binaries would be installed to that location. On Server B where SP2 had already been applied, the update was downloaded on May 1, 2007, well after the GDR issues which had been plaguing SP2 releases was supposed to have been resolved.
Our problems began the night when we tried to apply hotfix KB933097 on Server A, and cumulative update packages 1,2,3 on Servers A & B, as well as catch-up the same SP2 and hotfix packages on other non-clustered servers where default system db locations remained the same. On all servers other than Servers A and B, the installs proceeded smoothly and without issue.
On Server B, which was already running SP2 + Hotfix KB933097, we tried installing Cumulative Update Package 1 (Build 9.0.3161) on the primary node. The install proceeded until the following errors were encountered:
"[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot find the object 'dm_exec_query_resource_semaphores', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."
"[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot find the object 'dm_exec_query_memory_grants', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."
After this, the setup finished with the message "Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) - Update 'Hotfix 3161 for SQL Server Database Services 2005 (64-bit) ENU (KB935356)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfixSQL9_Hotfix_KB935356_sqlrun_sql.msp.log."
We rebooted the server and tried several times to reinstall the hotfix as sa and as the database service account with full windows and sa credentials, each time with no success, and rebooting between retries. All other components were installed successfully. We were hesitant to try uninstalling the hotfix, since it was unable to be removed successfully in previous attempts. However, when I connected to Database Engine using Management Studio, I found that the version of SQL being reported was in fact Build 9.0.3161! Everything also appeared to be running properly.
I tried to to Google the answer, but could only find information as applied to SP1 when system dbs master and mssqlsystemresource were located on different locations (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;918695 ). I had already verified that all system dbs, including the ones mentioned, were originally and currently located together on M:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData.
Finally I contacted a fellow DBA who advised me to continue installing all the other hotfixes, and then compare all SQL files against other servers where the install succeeded to ensure all system files were updated correctly (matching file sizes and datetime stamps). Since we were depending on a fix in Cumulative Update Package 3 to fix a critical log-shipping security issue, I went ahead with the rest of the installs, getting the same error with each package, rebooting between each install.
We found after the final install that the mssqlsystemresource files in the M:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
directory were in fact updated after each install with a new timestamp, and that all files in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinn matched on both file size and timestamp. The log-shipping security issue we were looking to fix also appeared to be resolved by the last update.
On Server A, which was running SP1 (Build 9.0.2047), we installed the same SP2 package as we had on Server B with no issue. We rebooted and then tried to apply the same Hotfix KB933097 (Build 9.0.3152) that had been applied successfully on Server B and found to our surprise that the same errors were being generated here as well. We continued to apply the rest of the hotfixes so that both servers matched software updates. Comparing the above directories showed that files seemed to have been updated, even though database services appeared to be not installed.
It looks like we now need Cumulative Update 5 hotfix package in order to deal with WMI alerting issues, but I'm afraid to apply it until we have a known resolution for the past errors.
Since this issue was supposed to be resolved by SP2, I'm not sure why these post-SP2 hotfixes should fail. It seems to me to be an issue of the directory location of the system files which is in question.
I can post the hotfix log files as well, if anyone is interested in seeing them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As well, does anyone have any idea when SP3 is scheduled to come out? I really don't like applying hotfixes which are usually untested for general purposes, and it seems Microsoft is delaying this in favour of releasing SQL 2008.
SQL 2012 :: Shrinking Database For Dev Environment?
Nov 26, 2014I've read lots about why you shouldn't normally shrink databases in posts such as this:
[URL]
But we have a situation where we are required to copy the live db to various non production environments for testing. Part of this process involves truncating a number of tables with masses of blob data. So we're freeing up quite a lot of space. The question is how to reclaim this? The database is peculiar in that it's got no clustered indexes so I can't rebuild indexes on another filegroup with drop to move and rebuild.
I've tried dbcc shrinkfile specifying a size. I've tried to shrink the file in increments. The problem is I'm just not getting much space released. I get maybe 2-3%. I suspect this is because we're dealing with heaps with some tables that have sparsely populated blob / image data.
Is there an alternative to shrinking? Should I recreate all the db objects in a new database? It doesn't matter if the process takes a while or if it has to be done manually.
