SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Manual Failover Of HA Nodes Not Functioning
Jun 29, 2015
I have 3 node HA set up:
-MS Server 2012 R2.
-SQL 2014 EE.
-All windows updates.
-Clean install of both OS and SQL, all 3 nodes are identical.
-SQL Server is running on an alternate port, which I've opened in the firewall. Connections from all network locations are working swimmingly; including connections between all 3 nodes.
-I've got the groups up and running; Listener is set up correctly. Connections work great.
-One node is synchronous, one is asynchronous. Both show synchronized, and synchronizing respectively.
-Data added at the primary node is moved across to all 3 with lightning speed.
When I attempt a manual failover it hangs..and hangs...then pops up an error 41131 and rolls back the failover. Leaving the cluster perfectly intact and working just as it did prior to the failover attempt. What I've checked so far:
-There is absolutely NOTHING in the cluster events log.
-Windows event log shows no errors, just the standard stuff of the primary nodes state changing from primary to resolving and then back again.
-SQL Event log has a few things in there, but nothing that's leading me to a solution, I've attached the log from start to finish on an attempted manual failover:

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.

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'm looking at installing 2008R2 and 2014 side by side, then using Mirroring to provide HA for the 2008R2 instance and AoHA for the 2014 instance. I'd be using the same two physical servers for both the Mirroring pair and the AoHA pair.

I have installed 2 node windows Fail-over clusters successfully. But QUARUM Configuration is not appearing in Failover cluster manager instead "Witness: Disk (Disk Cluster 4)". I have also configured quarum configuration from Quarum "Configure Cluster QUARUM Settings". I have attached the snapshots of windows cluster configuration. Is it the issue or not. I have not got any warning and error during cluster validation while installing Windows failover cluster. I am assuming it is okay and i can move ahead to installation of SQL Failover cluster setup.
Products used for installation in Virtual Machine:
Windows Server 2012 R2
SQL Server 2012 R2
Note: Service Pack is not installed.

We are not able to failover the AG to secondary replica. The process gets timed out and AG goes to resolving mode. Had to reboot the box in order to switch the AG back to primary node. We even rebuilt the whole AG from scratch but the issue remains.
Failed to bring availability group 'xxxx' online. The operation timed out. Verify that the local Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) node is online. Then verify that the availability group resource exists in the WSFC cluster. If the problem persists, you might need to drop the availability group and create it again. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 41131). The step failed.
Not much information is available in the logs.

Is there any way to trigger an event (ie. call a procedure/job/etc.) when/if an AG fails over?

I have been facing following Error in Failover cluster setup as below. I have prepared 2 node and 2 instance sql server failover cluster on top of windows failover.I have deleted MTCBJINS07 in AD and recreated even after, problem is not solved. MTCBJINS07 is my 2nd sql instance sql server network name.
Cluster network name resource 'SQL Network Name (MTCBJINS07)' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:
DNS bad key.Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with at least one accessible DNS server.

if for any reason AG fails over to async node, how replication behaves? As data will not be in sync with previous primary replica, how replication will work? I think that we have to reset replication from scratch as there's a high chance subscribers might be more updated than current primary replica as failover to this node causes data loss. How to keep replication in sync without resetting up? Can we achieve this?

We had to failover our primary db server for maintenance to our secondary replica. The primary was rebooted during maintenance. We failed back after the maintenance and one of the databases is not synchronizing.
I checked sys.dm_hadr_database_replica_states, and it is showing that it is INITIALIZING.
It has been in this state for more than 45 mins now. The last_sent_time, last_received_time, last_hardened_time and last-redone_time are all stuck with a time stamp 45 mins ago.
They haven't changed. How do i resume this database and bring it back in sync?
I tried suspending and resuming the data movement, but hasn't worked.

I have a 2 node cluster with 2 standalone 2k14 instances having alwayson setup. As per client requirement we have created a client access point with a cname alias in dns to connect to secondary replica. Now, everytime whenerver the roles switch over one has to manually move this resource from the previous secondary node to the new secondary node. This is tedious, and should not be done manually either, so I am looking for a way to automate it so that as soon as the role switches over, the resource group after some time should also switch over to the current secondary.
Env details
xa (current primary)
y2a (secondary)
client access point (resource group): aglreadtest

I am running SQL 2014 2-node AlwaysON Availability groups, Enterprise Edition in our environment and 5 databases are part of AG.
Question is, sometimes AG is getting failed over to node2 but always our preferred node is node1 due to some business needs otherwise some of our jobs will fail.
So, what I looking for is, a sql script which can handle a situation wherein, for some reason, AG is failed over to node2, it should be able to detect if node1 is back online or not and if so, it should fail back to node1. How to do this using tsql query or stored proc or sql agent job ?

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 database mirroring setup with witness. Below database connection string is used by the application
jdbc:sqlserver://<Server_A>MSSQLSERVER;databaseName=<Mirrored_DB>;port=1433;failoverPartner=<Server_B>MSSQLSERVER
During some maintenance activity at the OS side , I tried to manually failover database from Server_A to Server_B. It took long time for failover to Server_B. While failing over the Mirrored_DB database goes in In Recovery status and application is not able to connect to database. I waited for long time more than 40 mins for database to come online on Server_B but it did not work.So I have recovered database on Server_B using RESTORE DATABASE Mirrored_DB WITH RECOVERY.
After database was recovered on Server_B application was not able to connect to database with error as "The database <Mirrored_DB> on server Server_BMSSQLSERVER is not configured for database mirroring".
My Question is
Why manual failover did not get back database on secondary server upwhy the original connection string below is not able to connect to the database while database is online on Server_B but without mirroring
jdbc:sqlserver://<Server_A>MSSQLSERVER;databaseName=<Mirrored_DB>;port=1433;failoverPartner=<Server_B>MSSQLSERVER

I am not able to connect listener after manual failover.
(This is test environment)
Server1,Server3 -> Both synchronous (Within Same data center)
Server 3 -> Async (At DR location) -Forced Failover
Test1:
Failover Server1 to Server2 --> Able to connect Listener
Failover Server2 to Server1--> Able to connect Listener.
Failover Server1 to Server3--> Able to connect Listener.
Failover Server3 to Server1 or 2 --> Unable to connect Listener. Unable to ping Listener.
Failover Server 1or2 to Server3--> Able to connect Listener.
I am using below sub-nets:
10.11.192.0/22 10.11.192.130
10.12.192.0/22 10.12.192.140

I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.

I had a cluster running on 3 nodes (windows failover cluster) with server 2012 and SQL server 2012 running in the cluster. Well, I thought I'd just go ahead and rename all 3 of the hosts with new hostnames and it apparently broke the cluster pretty bad. Now when I open failover cluster manager I cannot see anything nor can I connect to the cluster object in AD. I re-named all of the hosts back to their original names but that didn't work.

I want to use BCP to load data from a text file.
By default, constraints are turned off in bcp, so I use the CHECK_CONSTRAINTS hint.
bcp aborts if ANY of the rows contains a FK violation. No data get loaded.
So if I add the -b 1 batch size option, it loads all data UNTIL the first FK violation, but nothing after that.
I want to load EVERYTHING ... except for the violations. But bcp won't let me. Is there a way?

In our environment applications are using a DNS name which points to the physical server ip address. Now we are planning to move to 2014. We are planning to have servers in different subnets so we will be having two ip adresses for listener. How we can point the DNS to the listener ips? If failover happens can the DNS point to the exact ip address of the listener where it's primary node?

Is it better to run the profiler or performan counter?
What are the filters we have to select in the profiler to monitor the Sql server

I have a SQL server box running 2014 reporting services. I have another server running IIS v8.
I would like to be able to connect to the IIS site and be given the SSRS report browser.
So externally if I browse to [URL], I am presented with the report server interface, the same as if I browse to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/reports internally.
What are my options?

What is the best approach for a read only copy of a database that is ~ 1TB. The primary database is fed nightly with an ETL process. We are currently trying to duplicate the ETL to read only server but that process is not going well. So we are looking at other options to let SQL make the copy.
The primary database is on a Win12R2 with SQL 12 or 14, a 2 node A/P failover cluster.
The read only copy will be on a Win12R2 with SQL 12 or 14. It is not a requirement to fail over to the read only copy if the primary should go down.
What would best the approach to accomplish the end result?
