SQL Failover Cluster Install Failure
Sep 19, 2007
When trying to install SQL 2005 as a failover cluster in a Windows 2003 64 bit SP 2 cluster, I receive the following error when trying to select the installation path after choosing to install as a failover cluster.
_________________________
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup
------------------------------
The drive specified cannot be used for program location. Program files must be installed on a valid local disk available on all cluster nodes. The valid values are
__________________________
There is a knowledge base artical that says this can be from not installing the software with an account with admin permissions on all the servers in the cluster with the 64 bit install, but the account I used is an admin on both servers.
The only thing that I can think is causing the problem is that it is setup to boot from our SAN and it is using one fabric. By default Microsoft Clustering doesnt like this, but we use the newest storeport driver and applied the registry key supplied in KB article 886569 to resolve this. I could not find any documentation showing that this would limit a SQL 2005 Failover Cluster from seeing the shared storage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi we have a two node windows 2003 x64 cluster, each running a SQL 2005 instance. I've added a new node to the cluster and am now trying to set up a new instance of SQL 2005 on the new node (node c). During the install i am getting a failure just after the stage where you choose the features to install. I'm selecting SQL database engine with Failover Cluster. When i click next i get a message which states:
"The drive specified cannot be used for program location. Program Files must be installed on a valid local disk available on all cluster nodes. The valid values are"
I've read a number of articles about possible causes for this and i've checked all the suggested causes but none of these have made a difference. The cluster disk resource is healthy and can be failed between all nodes in the cluster. No errors are generated. I am using an account which has domain admin rights and I can access all admin shares on all nodes. Some of the articles i have referenced are here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907261
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=913815
http://blogs.technet.com/mbaher/archive/2007/03/23/clustering-sql-2005-and-administrative-shares.aspx
I've tried uninstalling all components etc but still i can't get it to work. The next step is rebuilding the server completely so does anyone have any suggestions?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

I am tying to set up an SQL 2005, SP1 failover cluster on a new set of hardware. Everytime I try to run the install, I get this error
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
Setup failed to start on the remote machine. Check the Task scheduler event log on the remote machine.
I've gone through this doc (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189910.aspx) and checked all of the applicable cautions:
I don't have an antivirus package running.
All of the SQL setup pre-checks run fine.
I have a SQL Group created, with the shared drive as a resource.
NBT is disabled on both heartbeat NIC's.
NBT is explicitly enabled on both external NIC's.
While I do have DDNS running, just to be safe I've pre-created an A record for my SQL VR.
Both nodes are registered in DNS and Setup correctly finds the second node.
In the Application event log on the second node (the one failing...), I get MSI Installer 'Install Started' successes (and sometimes I even get "Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Installation completed successfully.")
I am running the install as myself, a Domain Admin and am explicitly added to the Administrators group on both servers.
Remote Registry is running.
Task Scheduler is running.
There is plenty of space everywhere.
All of the Admin shares are enabled.
The node I am running the install from is the owner of all of the cluster groups and resources:
Cluster group
MSDTC group
SQL group
This is all that is in my setup log:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06
==============================
OS Version : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 3790)
Time : Tue Nov 06 16:45:52 2007
Task did not appear to start on machine: \ERLEW01B: 267013
I'm at a total loss and I'm getting very frustrated...

Hello All, I am trying the following script to upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP1 to SP2. I have an Active Passive cluster configuration. I have default instances of SQL Server. I am using the following script.
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /allinstances /quiet.
The sql server install fails to run. When I used the above command with just
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /quiet still the summary.txt file came with authentication success and that is all. I changed the above script and did
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /instancename=instancename of the cluster
This worked, however the install patched the passive node (DB engine, all the cluster unaware components) but failed to patch the DB engine on the Active node. I had to run the SQL Server sp2 install manually but still it did not patch the DB engine on the primary node
1. Can someone please help me with this issue as I want the unattended install to work. so it installs both active and passive node. I will post the final output and also the ADS script to do this as a bonus if this works.
Here is the summary.txt file.

I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 onto an already configured and validated windows failover cluster (server 2012) but the process is hanging after installing the setup files.
The last entry in the log is:
running discovery on remote machine
and I've left it hanging like this for 4 hours and nothing happens.

Hi,
While I installed on the active node I got the following error: A recently applied update, KB921896, failed to install
After that installation finished , but query the server version I get:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
9.00.1399.06 RTM Standard Edition
On the Visual Studion Manager Help About I get 9.00.3042
Error logs are below. Can you please tell me how can I overcome this?
TIA.
I paste here the summary and the hotfix logs of the primary node.
There is also the Redist9_Hotfix_KB921896_SqlSupport.msi.log but it is too long to paste here.

1. Once fail over to secondary replica, what will happen to connected session in primary node? can the session fail over to secondary seamlessly or need to re-login. what happen committed transactions which has not write to disk.
2. Assume I have always on cluster with three nodes, if primary fails, how second node make write/ read mode.
3. after fail over done to 2nd secondary node what mode in production(readonly or read write).
4. how to rollback to production primary ,will change data in secondary will get updated in primary.

I´ve been reading that SQL Server 2012 Always On is dependent on having a Windows Failover Cluster setup. Is that correct ?

Hello,
we're running a mirrored database with High Availability for Automatic failover including a Witness instance for a web application.
When doing a manual failover on the database in Management studio, the roles are switched correctly and the database is in "Principal, Synchronized" and "Mirror, Synchronized/Restoring" mode. The web application has no problems switching servers by using client failover with the jdbc driver. There is no problem accessing the database with Management Studio.
However, if we stop the SQL service on the Principal server the role is automatically failed over to the Mirror server by the Witness. The database is then in the mode "Principal, Disconnected" which should be fine. However, accessing the database from the web application or with Management Studio yields some strange results. It is not possible to write to the database, and reading from the database works inconsistently (the web application seems like it can do it, but not from the Management Studio).
Starting the SQL service on the former Principal server makes the database go into mode "Mirror, Synchronizing/Restoring" and "Principal, Synchronizing". And it will stay that way indefinitely. There are not that many updates/transactions made to the database that can make it stay in this state, especially if you can't write to the database in the first place.
The next step taken after being stuck in this state is to stop the SQL service on the Mirror (former Principal), restart the service on the Principal (former Mirror). Accessing the database now works. The database is in mode "Principal, Disconnected". Starting the SQL service on the Mirror (former Principal) makes the database go into the normal "Principal, Synchronized" and "Mirror, Synchronized/Restoring" mode. Access to database is normal.
The same erroneous behaviour can be observed by unplugging the network cable on the Principal server, so it seems like we can only get a smooth transition by doing a manual failover.
Any ideas on what might be the problem? Has anybody experienced a similar situation?

Hi I just set up a new cluster and everything was working. Now when I try to test failovers like unplug the public network card etc...
The cluster group fails over correctly but my data and log array's dont failover.
So I unplug the network cable from node 1 (active) the cluster group with the IP, name, and Quorum disk fails over to node 2 but the other groups sql data and sql log stay on node1 and dont failover.
Any ideas?

Hi all:
I was wondering what will happend to the transaction when the cluster failover from one node to another?
In my case the database is in node-001 and I need to restart the server on node-001. So I need to have the database failover to node-002, so I can work on node-001. During this process, will it effect to end-user?
Thanks

We are running on SQL 2000 on Windows 2003. We have active-passiveclustering set up. We have 16 GB of RAM on each box. This pastweekend, we failed over. I noticed that the Total Server Memory wentfrom about 15.5 GB to 8 GB. I have been trying to figure out why thishas occurred. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We need to install the webservice and the database on a failover cluster. Our plan was to install the web service on node 1 and the database would naturally be on the cluster aware sql service. We know the RS will not be cluster aware and if node1 bites the dust, reports will be out of business.
We were planning to do this tommorow on development, but then found this little tidbit - read the very last paragraph

SQL Server Reporting Services failover cluster configurations that are not supported
Do not deploy both SQL Server Report Services and the reporting services databases on each node of a multi-node cluster. Moreover, do not deploy SQL Server Reporting Services in a two-node cluster environment that consists of an active node and a passive node where the passive node becomes active during a failover.
They don't explain why not to do it - as if it will destroy your machine! This is our main dev cluster and we don't need it to go down.
We will not be installing the RS on each node, just one. But I was thinking that if the dns entry for the service points to N1, it will continue to function and make successfull DB calls to the sql server cluster name.
Could this work? I've found posts of people installing RS on both nodes and having success - but this would probably require another license...which we don't have.
Thanks so much for your help - it is greatly appreciated.

Hi. Was hoping to get some advice on applying a hotfix to a SQL Server 2005 failover Cluster.
The hotfix I am applying (KB933508) relates to a Maintenance Plans issue with Server 2005 Service Pack 2. During installation I'm advised that unless the SQL Server and other services are stopped a reboot will be required, although I can still install the hotfix. However the installation is failing. There are error details in the relevant logs created in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfix to the effect that the 'Debug' value in registry key 'SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller' can't be read and that SQL Server was unable to add a user (the account under which SQL Server Agent and Analysis Services run) to a local group (the domain group in which SQL Server logins are contained).
Is this something simple like explicitly shutting down the services first before applying the hotfix or is there something else going on?
Regards,
YaHozna

I have a 2-node Windows Cluster and File Share Witness with an availability group. The cluster is set to sync and auto failover. I'm using SQL 2014 and Windows 2012R2. I'm trying to understand the steps to apply Windows Updates that require a restart. Are the steps something like this where ServerA is the primary replica and ServerB is the secondary replica.
Apply updates to ServerB.
Restart ServerB.
Fail ServerA availability group to ServerB using ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP MyAvailGroup FAILOVER;. Server B is now the primary.
Apply updates to ServerA.
Restart ServerA.
Fail ServerB availability group to ServerA using ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP MyAvailGroup FAILOVER;. Server A is now the primary.
What I don't understand is where Drain Roles on the Failover Cluster Manager fits in?

We have 2 nodes window Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Version cluster setup. We can switch roles and Node to one node to another and revert back to previous node with out any issues. But we are facing when one Node is restarted. We could not restart that Node in cluster Service start in Failover cluster Manager. Error Details is displayed as below inside double code."Cluster node NODE1 could not to join the cluster because it failed to communicate over the network with any other node in the cluster. Verify the network connectivity and configuration of any network firewalls."
I checked windows firewall. windows firewall is all of in Node1, Node2, SAN and DC.I have disabled and enabled the Internal and private network of Node 1. I have validated the cluster. it is showing no error though.
Node1:
Public IP: 10.10.0.11
SubNet Mask:255.255.255.0
Default Getway: 10.10.0.1
Prefered DNS: 10.10.0.10 (Ip of DNS)
[code]....
Private Network: Not configured.pinging to each other ip is successful from one node to another.

I noticed in installing a SQL2005 failover cluster instance,that it is not necessary to install on both servers. Installing on the primary node automagically installs to the secondary node. Does this constitute a COMPLETE install? It all seems to work. BUT this process does not intall client pieces (SSMS, for instance) on the secondary node. If you want that stuff there, do you then go to that box and just do a client install?

I have a mystery that I need a little help with. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Std Ed. into a two node failover cluster running on top of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Ed.. I have the cluster up and running. It consists of an IP address, cluster name, a shared drive (E:), and an MSDTC resource. When I run the SQL Server 2005 setup, the failover cluster option is always grayed out. I have tried installing from the active node and from the cluster virtual server. The result is always the same, no option to install a failover cluster. Some suggestions would be appreciated. I have read all the online docs I could find related to SQL 2005 failover clusters and found no clue.
Thanks,
VARiflesmith

So I want to evict the passive node and add a new node with windows server 2012 and install sql server 2012 SE on the new passive node and perform a failover(make the node with 2012 OS as active) and then evict the new passive node and add another node with windows 2012 and then do the same thing?

I have a multisubnet cluster over two datacentres, a node at each site with a FS witness at a separate site.
I'm using availability groups on top of this (synchronous, auto failover)
Using any non default failover policies?
Has experiment with the File Share Witness policies? Testing my config with the default values, I find that the cluster group will failover each time I reboot or turn off the quorum server.
Is one restart in fifteen minutes enough?

Hi,
I've a problem with my failover cluster. It's a two node cluster and if the active node fails, the second one overtake the database and everything is fine. But only the reporting service doesn't start on the second node. The service is off. All other ones are starting correctly. Is there to configure something special to the Reporting Services?
Regards
Sascha
