During the installation of the SSISDB in SQL 2012 AG, the password used to encrypt the database was not preserved. Now when the server is failed over, the SSISDB on the new primary node is not use-able.Document the password and decrypt after using the master key after failover.
View 5 RepliesI 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?
I have a SP that runs on the primary in 18 min and 45 min on the secondary( poorly written cursor,trying to fix it).Both machines are Exactly the same.I ran them in the middle of the night when no one was on the Sec. Node as we use it for reporting.

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.
I'm contemplating running two availability groups on a two node WSFC. The WSFC is setup with a file share witness (i.e. no shared storage). Can I safely run 1 AG on one primary node, and the other AG on the other node (as primary). Each AG would have replicas on the passive node. This would effectively allow both servers to be in use at the same time. In a failover event, I understand that both workloads would transfer to a single server - so the box needs to be sized appropriately.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are in the process of building a 3 node SQL Server Cluster (Server 2012/ SQL Server 2012), and we have configured the quorum so that all 3 nodes have a vote (no file share witness as we already have an odd number of nodes).
As I understand it, this should allow the cluster to run as long as 2 of the nodes remain online.
However, the validation report states that 2 node failures would be acceptable and, when we tested this by powering off two of the nodes, the cluster did indeed continue to run on a single node.
Whenever you connect to a database server that is running SQL 2012 integration services, then you right click on SSISDB, choose "Reports, then Standard Reports, then Executions" there is a display of each execution and options to drill down.
There is a particular execution that when I click to see "All Messages" I get a blank screen in SSMS with the following error: "Error: and error occurred during local report processing. --> An error has occurred during report processing. --> Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown."
Before I go add more memory to this SQL box, I need to understand how an out of the box, canned SSRS report such as this, which is built into Integration Services could produce this issue?
I need to extract the .ispac file from the SSISDB. I can retrieve the stream with catalog.get_project sp. However, the file I end up with cannot be unzipped, giving an error message. My guess is that it is meta-data on the zip/ispac file that has a problem, because I can actually unzip it with Winrar, but not with any of those I (programmatically) need to unzip it with.
Below is the code for my stored procedure - My own suspicion is in the BCP usage to turn the stream into a file.
USE [SSISDB]
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spGetIspacFile]
@project VARCHAR(255) ,
@environmentFolder VARCHAR(50) ,
@ispacTempFolder VARCHAR(100) ,
@ispacFilePath VARCHAR(200) OUTPUT
[code]....
There is a checkbox when you create an SSIS catalog which says "Enable automatic execution of Integration Services stored procedure at SQL Server startup". It's a good practice to have this option on. BUT! How do you verify whether this option is ON or OFF after you have created a catalog and how do you enable it if it wasn't enabled at the time of creating the catalog?

I have set up a 2 node availability group to take advantage of using the secondary node for a read-only replica. I actually am having two issues. The first being I can connect to the primary node using the listener dns name and ip address, but no longer can connect via its actual host name or ip address. I can ping the address with no problem, but I can't connect to port 1433 using the actual host name or ip address.
I am no problem connecting to the secondary node using its host name, but can not get to it through the listener using the applicationintent=readonly. Eventually I would like for everything to connect through the listener name, but for now still need to connect via the server's host name and don't understand why; everything I read is that the primary node should be able to be connected via both the host name and the listener name.
I have a table which has a field with a data type of Xml. A sample record might contain something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<order>
<Product Index="14c9643f-63d9-40c5" ProductID="13" Name="............>
<Attribute Name="Paper" OptCatId="1" Value="72" ....../>
<Attribute Name="Ink" OptCatId="2" Value="6" ......../>
<Attribute Name="Bleed" OptCatId="3" Value="15" ......./>
<Attribute Name="Number of Drops" OptCatId="0" Value="1" ...../>
I need to grab the Node/Attribute with the name of "Number of Drops" and get the value of "Value". So in this case, I simply want to get "1". How could I do this?
SELECT "value of Number of Drops"
FROM myTable
WHERE ID = ....
I have an A & B node set up and running. I now want to add a C NODE.
The catch is the C NODE is in a SQL Cluster Environment.
I am guessing I add the Virtual Name of the C node to the current Always ON Cluster?
I tried adding it...the error message says" the Virtual Node is really the A node and to add the A NODE"?
Can I add a new node to an existing sql server 2012 cluster witthout stopping all the current resources?
Currently, there are 2 nodes and 3 sql server instances, which can not be shutdown. Is the process of adding nodes a "online" process?

We are running SQL Server 2012 Enterprise on Windows 2012 R2. We have set up A WSFC with the primary Node in our East Coast Data Center and the Secondary Node in our West Coast Data Center each node is in a dfferent subnet. Since we have high latency between the sites we run in Asynchronous mode with manual failover only. My quesion concerns Quorum, everything I read would indicate we need a third node (odd number) (e.g. a fileshare Witness) with only the file share and the primary node having a vote...What I don't see is any need for a file share if we can only do manual failover.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat I have- Sql server 2012 (Standard Ed) Cluster on Windows 2012 R2 with both instances running on the same node- just to save on License, i.e. technically it’s Act/Pas cluster.
What I am looking for- how to configure cluster (e.g. via quorum, etc) to force both instances failed together? Means if for some reason 1-st instance will fail to node 2 another instance should follow (otherwise it will be Act/Act cluster and 2-nd license is required).
If there is no standard way (cluster configuration I mean) to do it I should create some custom process to monitor where each instance is running.
I have configured Alwayson HA setup as following environment and versions, and working fine to client side by connected with AG Listener.

when I am doing testing Failover method between two nodes. automatic failover not happened.
Just shutdown Node1 and try to connect at client side by using AG Listener name but not succeeded, also Cluster name and AG Listener name are not pinging, Second node2 cluster service is not started by automatically due to as below errors. So how will connect client and overcome this issues? Any modification need to be done on both side WSFC and AlwaysOn SQL? for achieving and automatic failover.

Client side got connected once Node1 get started again also cluster services started.
Our network guys have to carry out an IBM Flex Chassis move at our data centre, which will affect the primary replica of one of our SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group nodes (the secondary replica won't be affected).
They have suggested using vMotion to migrate the primary replica to another virtual host, which will result in a very brief period of network outage for the node.
I've done some reading and have seen a few potential issues regarding Stun During Page Send (SDPS) and increasing thresholds within WSFC. Unfortunately, we're not able to test this prior to the migration, so I have a few questions...
Would it be necessary to failover to the secondary replica node before performing the vMotion (and back again afterwards)?

I have a tree and I need to copy a nested sub-tree (an element with its children, which in turn may have their owns) from one place to another.

How to Copy nested sub-tree 4451 with all its children to Parent_Id 2, without deleting from Parent_Id = 1 ?
It is an active passive cluster which doesn’t allow any testing. All instances have to be failed over together, we aren’t allowed to just failover 1 even for testing purposes. Node 1 is the active node and we can failover to node 2 for 30 days free of charge but services have to then be failed back.
We need to run the cluster with node 1 as the primary node always and 2 just use for failover testing or for less than 30 day periods whilst performing cluster patch upgrades etc.
Now l am sure we could fail over 1 instances at a time for testing and diagnosing issues plus if add a new instance that's not production to get to the platform level as the rest of the instances this would avoid taking production down in the fail over process.

I have set up the AGL and asked the sysadmins to create a DNS record in both subnets with fixed IP's.
The issue I have having is that when I ask the app developers to connect to the databases using the AGL it is totally random whether the AGL resolves to the Primary or DR node - as a result that are having problems getting their apps to connect.
I was thinking of asking the sys admins to remove the DNS record in the DR subnet and then add it back in should we need to fail over - but I was thinking there must be a better way.
