SQL Server Admin 2014 :: High Availability - Job Error

Aug 18, 2015

I am trying to create a job that runs against my High Availability listener server.

It is a fairly simple SQL statement in the job - execute tsql.

When I try and run the job I get the error:

Executed as user: NT SERVICESQLAgent$SQL2014A. The target database ('BB_Prod') is in an availability group and is currently accessible for connections when the application intent is set to read only. For more information about application intent, see SQL Server Books Online. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 978). The step failed.

I thought there was a way to run a select statement as a job against the listener? The tsql step is only a select.

Is there a way to pass in the application intent = readonly as part of my SQL statement?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: High Availability Index Rebuilds

Jul 9, 2015

I have a situation where I need to rebuild indexes on a large DB (500G).

When I do a test run of the rebuilds in my test environment it uses 100G of space - which is fine with me.

When I do a rebuild in my High Availability environment - same DB, same script - it eats up over 600G of space and fills the volume.

What can I do without removing my DB from H/A to rebuild the indexes?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Disabling MSDTC For High Availability AlwaysOn

Nov 3, 2015

We are looking at going down the High Availability Always On route. However we have some concerns around the lack of support for MSDTC. In short we are concerned that developers may introduce functionality either on purpose or by mistake that uses the or escalates the Query’s to the MSTDTC. As this could result in database splitting.

Understand that this will be a moot point in SQL 2016 but for 20122014 is it possible to disable the MSDTC to protect against this and run High Availability Always On. ? Does it just need to be disabled on the SQL Server or does it need to be done on the application server ?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: CDC And AlwaysOn Availability Groups

Apr 2, 2015

The MSDN doc makes it sound like after a failover of the primary, the CDC data won't "keep working" on the secondary unless you "To allow the logreader to proceed further and still have disaster recovery capacity, remove the original primary replica from the availability group using ALTER AVAILABITY GROUP <group_name> REMOVE REPLICA. Then add a new secondary replica to the availability group."

We have a few CDC tracked tables that we use and the general idea of AlwaysOn I thought was to minimize all the overhead and let things "just work" so your apps just connect and the listener re-routes everything where it needs to go.

It looks like to get this working properly an automated job /trigger would have to wait for a failover event and then kick off tasks to remove and re-add the replica and perhaps start up the CDC job on the secondary?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: High Number Of VLFs

Oct 7, 2015

I have heard that high numbers of VLF's aren't good. It can impact performance and can delay recovery time, so I wanted to test that.

I created 2 DBs with 100MB datafile and 50MB logfile.

TestDB log file had 100MB autogrowth
TestDB2 log file had 1% growth.

I inserted 1048576 records, took the backup

Ran DBCC loginfo and
TestDB had 40 VLFs and
TestDB2 had 165 VLFs

But when I restored both DBs, this is what I got.

TestDB:
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 42258 pages in 4.420 seconds (74.691 MB/sec).
SQL Server Execution times:
CPU Time = 125ms, elapsed time = 8323 ms.

TestDB2:
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 42257 pages in 3.943 seconds (83.724 MB/sec).
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 109 ms, elapsed time = 8314 ms.

Question is: Where is the difference? How TestDB which has 40 VLFs are better than TestDB22 which has 165 VLFs.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Load Balancing With Availability Groups

Aug 28, 2014

We are having a conversation at work and the subject of load balancing with SQL came up. Right now we are running SQL Server 2014 on four (4) machines. I am using a AlwaysOn with Availability Groups (AG). Now I know that we can scale out the reading in AG by allowing the secondary serves to receive reads.

Is there a way to be able to do this with writes? Can I have in essences 2 masters that some how reconcile with each other? We are expecting a huge amount of writes in the near future and we need a way for SQL to handle the amount of traffic we are expecting with out any issues.

I explored the possibility of Peer - to - Peer replication; however, it seems that it would be more work if we are constantly making updates to the database scheme.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Manual Failover Availability Group

Dec 24, 2014

Recently after turning on trace I restarted the sql services on a box which is configured for automatic failover availability groups. The ag has not failed over to other node. The other node was in resolving state. When the restarted server is back, the AG went back to that server. I checked the sys.availability groups field for failover property failure condition level, it's set to 1 which means service restarts should initiate the failover.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Backup Jobs On Availability Groups?

Feb 11, 2015

we currently use Backup Scripts from Ola Hallengren, It Says Full (non copy-only) and differential backups are performed on the primary replica. Full(Copy-only) backups and transaction log backups are performed on the preferred replica.

we currently do FULL(COPY_ONLY) Backup everyday and LOG Backups for every 15 min, is there any performance benefit on running the FULL (non copy-only) on the preferred replica .

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: AlwaysOn Availability Group Configuration

Jun 17, 2015

What I asked for: Three Windows Server 2012 R2 machines with independent storage running a SQL Server 2014 AlwaysOn Availability Group. DB1 would be the primary, DB2 would be a synchronous replica, and DB3 would be a remote asynchronous replica.

What I was given: a two-node Windows Server 2012 R2 WSFC to run SQL Server 2014 Enterprise with shared storage and a third (remote) Windows Server 2012 R2 machine with independent storage, also with SQL Server 2014 Enterprise, to host an AlwaysOn Availability Groups asynchronous replica.

DB1 and DB2 (as Cluster1) share an E: drive. The remote DB3 has its own E: drive. Initially, DB3’s E: drive was claimed as a cluster resource and I couldn’t even see it. I’ve had several ugly days trying to make this work and have temporarily given up, installing DB3 as a standalone SQL Server that is no longer part of the WSFC and pointing everything towards that (it was originally a third node in the WSFC).

Is it possible to create an AlwaysOn Availability Group with nested clusters (i.e. create the AOAG with Cluster1 and DB3 and somehow ignore the individual nodes that comprise Cluster1)?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Replication On AlwaysOn Availability Groups

Sep 15, 2015

I am planning to have AlwaysON Availability Groups setup between Server 1 and Server 2

Server 1 -->Publisher-->2014 SQL Enterprise edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> Always on Primary Replica

Server 2 -->Publisher(when DR happens)-->2014 SQL Enterprise edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> Secondary Primary

Server 4 as Subscriber

Server X as Remote Distributor ..

If i create Publications on Server1 (primary replica) to subscriber 4 servcer, will the publication be created automatically in Secondary Replica Server2 ? or do i have to create manullay using GUI/T Sql on Both Servers?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Database Backups And AlwaysOn Availability Groups

Oct 16, 2014

This is my first deployment of an always on availability group for SQL 2014 and I'm trying to get my custom backup procedure to handle all databases appropriately depending on the primary group. Basiscally I want the system databases and all databases that don't participate in the availability group to be backed up on both nodes and those that do participate backed up ONLY on the primary server. I've looked at the sys.fn_hadr_backup_is_preferred_replica funcation, but would like to only have to test for a single databases existance in the availability group. If the one database is in the group, only backup the system databases and those that don't participate, otherwise backup everydatabase. This would be the case for both full backups and transaction logs.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Disconnected From Listener In Availability Group (When Primary Failed)

Jun 27, 2015

I setup an availability Group. (Only 2 servers - Primary And secondary) -- 21 , 22

I also define an listener . IP .. 23

1- In First step I connected To Listener (23) And in a while I inserted A record to a table .

While 1=1
insert into Tbl_T1(f1,f2) Values (1,2)

2- in second, I Stop the primary .

- I expected this while whitout disconnect, continue.

3- The while code stopped whit this message :

Msg 64, Level 20, State 0, Line 0 A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)

4- I execute again the script, And it worked in new primary.

My questions :

1- is the listener disconnected between switched primary and secondary ? OR have we data loss between switching?

2- I did some huge update on Primary that fill the Log fiel space. And in last Update I got this error :

Msg 9002, Level 17, State 2, Line 27

The transaction log for database 'Your_DB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.

Is this (Fill All space) a reason to switch primary? Or not ?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Availability Group Handshaking Fails After Network Outage

Aug 14, 2015

I'm running a primary and secondary on sql server 2012 enterprise edition on windows server 2012, and it runs fine except when a network outage occurs.

Then the handshaking keeps failing, the databases on the replica show as not synchronizing and the only way to fix this is to reboot both primary and secondary.

We keep getting 3520's, etc. on the DR error log

How to eliminate all these prod reboots?

I increased query connection timeouts to 60, but saw no change.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Determine Which Server Is Currently Active For Availability Groups

Nov 25, 2014

I want two write a small script to determine which is the currently active (primary) server in the AG.

Right now, I see that using SELECT * FROM SYS.dm_hadr_availability_replica_states I can determine the role. However, when the server goes down and switches to the secondary node, I don't believe that the role changes (or does it?). How do I determine which is the active node?

High Availability To High Protection Without Reconfiguring Mirroring

Apr 23, 2007

Hi,

Is there a way to configure mirroring to go from High Availability to High Protection without having to reconfigure Database Mirroring? Using the interface in Management Studio, I can change the configuration option to High Performance, but not High Protection despite both of them being Synchronous.

If not, what are the recommended steps to configure the mirror once it already has been configured? Is just like initially setting up the mirror or would there be any shortcuts I could take? If I stop the mirroring and remove the witness, will the High Protection option be available?

Thanks,
J.

SQL Server In A High Availability Environment

May 26, 2004

I've been asked to look into the possibility of using SQL Server in a high availability environment. We have a few web based applications that use SQL Server back end DBs. What we are looking into is whether we can use multiple instances (on multiple physical servers) of SQL Server using some type of clustering/load balancing. I haven't worked with SQL Replication before, so I'm not even sure where to start in exploring the possible avenues we can explore.

Can anyone push me in the right direction? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Bill

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: PowerShell Security Error

Jul 16, 2015

I have a SQL Server 2014 instance running on a SQL Server 2008 R2 server. The server is not clustered, it is just a stand alone SQL Server. The syspolicy_ purge_history job fails every now and then with the error message: "A job step received an error at line 1 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is 'import-module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking'. Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Access to the path 'PowerShell_CommandAnalysis_Lock' is denied. '. Process Exit Code -1. The step failed."

Google isn't bringing up much besides the whole"If this is a clustered server make sure you have the right server name in the command" answer, which isn't the case here. Some days this job fails and some days it succeeds. I have checked out task scheduler to see if there were any conflicts there, found nothing. Nothing in the event viewer either.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Error - Cannot Drop Database Because It Is Currently In Use

Oct 29, 2015

I have an environment with MS-SQL Server 2014 and always-on availability group configured (on 2-nodes).

I'm writing a Powershell Script which removes the database from the availability group (on the primary server) and then SHOULD drop the database on the secondary Server.

That works most of the time, but not always...

When it fails I get the error message:

Cannot drop database "Customer_2" because it is currently in use.

When i check the secondary DB-Server (sp_who2) while the script is running, i see that there is a process for the DB "Customer_2" with Status="background", Command="DB STARTUP" and LastWaitType="REDO_THREAD_PENDING WORK".

As soon as the script fails, this process for "Customer_2" disapears.

This happens always only on the second database in the availability group.

Why is the process still there, even after I removed the database from the Availability Group on the primary node.

If I remove the database from the availability group manually, the "background" process on the secondary node for that database disappears..
