SQL Server 2008 :: Unable To Connect To Clustered Instance From One Of The Nodes
Jun 11, 2012
We have SQL Server 008 R2 failover clustered instance.
Installation and everthing went smooth. But I'm getting a weired error
Unable to connect to SQL Server clustered instance from one of the nodes
When SQL Server Resources are on sql1:
Connect from SSMS from sql2--> NOT Able to connect to SQL instance (A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2))
Connect from SSMS from sql1-->Working fine
When SQL Server Resources are on sql2:
Connect from SSMS from sql1-->Working fine
Connect from SSMS from sql2-->Working fine
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
I've installed SQL2005 on a server already running SQL2K on my laptop. SQL2K is the default instance, so I'm trying to connect to SQL2005 using MYSERVERSQL2005 as the instance.
The steps that I've taken are to apply SP2 and enable remote connections (TCP & Named pipes). I've also made sure the SQL Server Browser service is running and enabled.
The error message that I get via SQL2005 client tools is "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)"
I dont understand as to why i am unable to connect to 2005.
Problem: I upgraded a SQL Server Express instance to SQL Server Enterprise, but I'm unable to connect to the SQL server from any remote machine. Only local connections work -- and I've verified that Remote Connections are allowed in the SQL Surface Confg. utility.
Scenario: Server1 has an SQL Enterprise edition installed as a default installation. SharePoint Server 2007 was installed later, and during that install a SQL Express edition instance was installed which is part of the standard SharePoint install. That Express instance contains all the SharePoint content databases.
So Server1 has SQL instances: Server1 <default install running Enterprise> Server1OFFICESERVER <previously running SQL Express, now upgraded to Enterprise>
After upgrading Server1OFFICESERVER to Enterprise, everything seemed to work fine (i.e. SharePoint works fine). However when I try to connect remotely to Server1OFFICESERVER I can't. I've verified through the SQL Surface configuration tool that remote connections are allowed. I've rebooted the server as well. I've tried connecting remotely using various PCs and various applications (e.g. SQL Server Mgmt Studio, Visual Studio, etc.).
i was trying to use the XML read functionality using t-SQL for XML attached.The column is coming with the token names and token-values in XML format and we are using the XML nodes() functionality to read the token names and token value.I am able to read only the parent token names and its values(using the sql attached) and could not be able to get the child token names and its values.how can i acheive the tokenNames with its values with the SQL query.i am attaching both SQL script which i am using and the XML entity.
I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.
We have a table, which has one clustered index and one non clustered index(primary key). I want to drop the existing clustered index and make the primary key as clustered. Is there any easy way to do that. Will Drop_Existing support on this matter?
I have a requirement to only rebuild the Clustered Indexes in the table ignoring the non clustered indexes as those are taken care of by the Clustered indexes.
In order to do that, I have taken the records based on the fragmentation %.
But unable to come up with a logic to only consider rebuilding the clustered indexes in the table.
After reading some comments here I decided to look at tables to see if any had a clustered index that was a unique identifier. Yep. So if I have a table with a unique identifier as the primary key/clustered index and an identity column that is indexed, I would like to make the identity a clustered index (maybe even the primary key) and make the unique identifier a unique non-clustered index (not the primary key).
Does this sound reasonable?If I do this will I need to drop and recreate the other indexes? Or maybe just rebuild the other indexes?
Currently:
CREATE TABLE Payments ( IDX INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, GUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL DEFAULT(NEWID()), .....
-- many other columns
); GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_PAYMENTS_GID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([GUID] ASC); GO CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Payments_ID] ON [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ([IDX] ASC); GO
Would like:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_PAYMENTS_IDX] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (IDX ASC); GO CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Payments_GUID] ON [dbo].[PAYMENTS] (GUID ASC); GO
I am extremely new to database design, and I ran into a problem that I know comes up often, however has many opinions...
Basically I have a table that is going to have 50+ columns. The natural key on this table is actually 8 columns wide, 4 of them being Varchar columns by default. (varchar(50)'s).
I have added an identity column, (1,1) to the table, however I put the clustered index on the 8 natural keys... My plan is to rebuild the clustered index once nightly when the system isn't in use (after 7 pm).
I know others would say it would be better to have the clustered key on the 1,1 column and then add indexes on the other 8 fields... However I don't quite understand why honestly...
Every single query against this table will use the 8 columns, and will NOT use the Identity column (1,1) because they are calls from other systems that do not know the Identity column....
Therefore if your database is set up for query speed, and every single query has to have a value for 8 columns to get a valid result, does it make sense to put a clustered index over the 8 columns?
If not why? Why is putting a clustered index on an identity column (that will literally never be used in a query) a better solution?

I have installed SQL Server 2005 on two boxes and installed client tools only on my local machine. I cannot connect to either machine. I also have the "Error 26 problem - does not allow remote connection etc." Of my two remote servers, one is virtual the other is not.
I cannot establish a connection through the "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio" tool on my local machine using: Severname: ServerNameInstanceName Authentication: Either Windows or SQL Server Eveything is enabled (TCPIP, Name Pipes), no firewall SqlBrowser is running I have SQL Server 2000 also installed on the same server machines and I am able to connect to this. I tried using IP addresses and port numbers as follows (NB ServerName implies alias or ip address) and portnumbers I have tried are 1433 and 1766:
We had changed the IP address of our SQL Database server(include the Report Server). After we finished this, we restarted the server, but now, we cannot connect to the Report instance, database instance have no problem.
I upgraded my 6.5 server to 7.0 two days ago running into small problems with the database upgrade wizard. I had some small problems with security which took me some time but was not that difficult once I figured it out. I then proceeded to switch back to 6.5 mode to transfer all the data that had been done that day to my development machine so I could then import it to the SQL 7.0 version. When I was done with the transfer I switched back successfully, started the server successfully, but I was unable to connect. I get the error "Connection could not be established...", so after several attempts to connect and shuting the server down I now am at a loss. The server runs fine in 6.5 mode but it will not connect in 7.0?? Tonight I am going to try to reinstall SP1, if that does not work I am going to try to reinstall SQL 7.0. Any suggestions???
On a fresh installation of SQL Server 6.5, I have opened the EM and registered the server but am unable to connect. I get the error of 'A connection could not be established to [ServerName]- [DB-Library] Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. General Network Error. Check your documentation.'
I've tried connecting with all different DB-Lib settings to no avail. Ultimately, I want to use TCP/IP. I am, however, able to connect to other SQL Server boxes from this EM, just not the local server. I am able to stop and start the services from Control Panel and from SQL Service Manager.
Since I haven't been able to log into the local SQL Server, I've registered the server in EM to log in with sa and a blank password. I've already completely uninstalled SQL and reinstalled it to see if that would help. It didn't.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
I am running SQL 2000 on Windows 2000 Server. The clients are running different OS ranging from Win 98/NT/2000. Although i am able to connect to the local host, but whenever i try to connect over the network the following error pops up :
unable to connect to server <server name> Server : Msg 11, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Socket]General network error. Check your network documentation.
I checked up the event long on the server and found the following entry:
Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSSQL$NETSDK Event Category: (8) Event ID: 19011 Date: 1/20/2003 Time: 2:12:32 PM User: N/A Computer: <computer name> Description: The description for Event ID ( 19011 ) in Source ( MSSQL$NETSDK ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: (SpnRegister) : Error 1355.
May i further clarify that this error started today n till last week end (saturday, i am
stationed in India) there was no problem and the users were able to connect to the server
without any problem. My network engineer feels that its an sql problem and has nothing to do with network related issues.
i would appreciate if anybody could help me out. thanking in advance
recently i made my PC dual boot by installing windows 2000 advanced server. It already had win2000 profesional installed on it. since then i have been unable to connect to sql server running on some other server(called CONTROLS) on the LAN. I am able to access the CONTROLS server thru 'my networkplaces' and able to see all its hsared directories and access htem. but when i open Enterprise manager i cannot connect to CONTROLS. Please help me . i have already wasted 2 days over it.
I am unable to connect to SQL Server using isql_w or enterprise manager. The ODBC settings register successfull and the services show as started. I have tried starting SQL server in single-user mode with minimum config to see if memory is a problem but still cannot connect. The error logs show SQL as having started successfully with no errors. Has anyone got any ideas?
From my Win98SE box with MDAC 2.6sp1, I can't connect to SQL (win2k, sql2k). I've tried everything I know but nothing works.
I always get the following error: Unable to connect to server 192.168.1.2 ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC Sql Server Driver] Timeout Expired
some additional info... - both computers are in a workgroup, not in a domain. - this is a home network and they're connected via a Linksys cable modem router - another box on this same lan can connect to sql just fine, although it's running win2k. - all boxes have identical DSN, Subnet...settings - I also installed Jet4.0sp1 just in case, but that didn't help either - I'm primarily trying to connect via TCP, although I have tried Named Pipes as well - i can ping both boxes from each other just fine - odbc ping fails
MDAC has worked beautifully for me for the last several years. Did MS change something recently...or is there another problem?
Hello. I am very new to SQL Server. I've tried to look through other posts on the forum but did not find the solution I needed. Please help.
I have SQL Server running on Machine1 which I am able to connect to. What I want to do is connect to this server through a Machine2 that is on my network.
Both Machines run on WindowXP Professional
On the server of Machine1, I have: 1. Under the security tab, I have created a New Login using SQL Server Authentication (general tab), checked all server roles (server roles tab) and checked to permit all databases (in the database access tab) 2. On the server, went to properties -> security tab and allowed for SQL Server and Windows authentication
On Machine2 when I try to register the server of Machine1 through the Register SQL Server Wizard, I am able to see the server. However, when I use the newly created Login Name and password (from step 1 of above). I get a Login Failed for user message. When I try to connect to the server through Query Analyzer I also get an unable to connect to server message (Server: Msg 18456, Level 16, State1)
If you place an image of your server on a rebuilt server, rename it andchange the SID. You get an error message “UNABLE TO CONNECT” when youuse the SQL Query analyzer on a desktop computer to connect to theserver (hosting the image). If you add the server (hosting the image)to the Windows2000 server domain/active server and restart the server(hosting the image), you get the following error message: "YOUR SQLSERVER INSTALLATION IS EITHER CORRUPT OR HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH (UNKNOWNPACKAGE ID). PLEASE RERUN SETUP."Wouldn't you think changing the name, the sid and adding it to a domainwould be enough to access it. I even created a new ODBC connection.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
i have three computers with three differnent running systems. about three days ago we were experiencing trouble getting into the game rooms at pogo.com. we thought it would be trouble with java since it affected all three computers. on the computer i am on now i have uninstalled and reinstalled java numerous times to no avail. I am at my wits end trying to fix this. does anyone have any ideas.
There is a SQL instance (sql2005) and I am trying to add a new distribution. Replication wazard says:
SQL Server is unable to connect to server 'SERVER1'. (New Publication Wizard)SQL Server is unable to connect to server 'SERVER1'. (New Publication Wizard)
SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'SERVER1'. (Replication.Utilities)
There is the only local instance of the server on local computer and 'SERVER1' is actual name.
Currently we have SQL instance on C: Â drive.We are now going to upgrade SQL Server 2008 RTM to SQL 2008 SP4.Can we change the path of SQL instance during upgrade?What services need to be stopped during upgrade.
Is it possible to run SQL server clustered instance on 2 different IP on two different segment? or two different IP's on the same segment? We are using SQL server 2014 STD and Windows server 2012r2 STD...
We are in the process of migrating our databases from one pair of Servers running SQL Server 2000 using a Failover Cluster to another pair.
Unfortunately, we have some programs that are hard-coded to the existing instance and it will take time I don't have at this time to rewrite those programs.
Our old Clustered SQL Server is named SQLCluster and the new one is named SQLCluster2
We have backed up and restored the databases themselves, but cannot seem to rename the new SQL Server Cluster to SQLCluster.
