SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Server Min And Max Memory On Cluster
Oct 9, 2015
I have the following SQL FCI configuration:
NODE1 -256GB
INST1 - 64GB min/64GB max
INST2 - 64GB min/64GB max
NODE2 - 256GB
INST3- 64GB min/64GB max
INST4- 64GB min/64GB max
With this configuration and if all instances are running on the same node there will be enough memory for them to run. Knowing that normally i ll have only 2 instances in each node wouldnt it be better the following config?
NODE1 -256GB
INST1 - 64GB min/128GB max
INST2 - 64GB min/128GB max
NODE2 - 256GB
INST3- 64GB min/128GB max
INST4- 64GB min/128GB max
With this configuration and in case all the instances (due to a failure) start running on only 1 node, SQL will adjust all instances to just use Min memory specified?

I am asking about a virtual IP for SQL Server, is there a way we can assign a different IP to SQL Server other than the server's(host) IP address? like the same what we do in a clustered env.

I am setting up SQL 2014 always on. I was able to set up the replicas between 2 servers in the same subnet.Their IP addresses are say like this:
100.20.200.200
100.20.200.201
When I am trying to introduce another node into the cluster which has IP address like 100.10.101.102, I am getting an error that the server isn't reachable.

I got 5 SQL Servers 2008R2 (2x CPUs with 96-384Gb of RAM) with total 1500DBs and around 10Tb of allocated data. Now
I am forced to upgrade to 2012 and 2014, but the old hardware is overkill.
Is it possible to consolidate this to a large SQL AlwaysOn cluster?
We pros/cons could it be to have 2 or 4 nodes?
2 or 4 sockets servers?
My goal was to use ~20 cores Enterprise license on active server.

Dead lock is coming in select query in application because of index. It is identified after enabling trace in database and identified by reading deadlock xml file. After index removal, deadlock is not coming in same query. But it is affecting query's performance slightly. Is it correct way to remove index if dead lock is coming because of index?

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 had a big issue today during maintenance work in our SQL environment.
So our environment:
- 2x SQL Server 2014 Enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 (SRV1 and SRV2)
-- Both Hyper-V VMs on different Hosts
-- Both configured to an Windows Failover Cluster and AlwaysOn Availability Group (AG1)
-- AG Listener: AG1_lis
-- No shared storage (each Hyper-V Host has its own local storage)
-- Asynchronous Mode
-- SRV1 is primary, SRV2 is secondary SQL node
What happened?
- Shutting down Windows on SRV2 due hardware maintenance
- Cluster goes offline, AG1 goes offline
-- Error message: "Stopped listening on virtual network name 'AG1_lis'."
-- Error message: "The availability group database "DatabaseXY" is changing roles from "PRIMARY" to "RESOLVING" because the mirroring session or availability group failed over due to role synchronization."
Results?
- AG1_lis wasn't available for our applications and they stopped working properly because database connection was lost!
I think, I HOPE, this is not the normale behaviour when one node is shutting down (especially the secondary node!)

We have a SQL 2014 active passive cluster with 5 instances. When the cluster was installed one of the nodes was a virtual machine. As we started to have problems and this is not a Microsoft supported configuration we decided to replace the virtual node with a phyiscal one. On 3 of these 5 instances we configured static ports (1433 TCP) this was required for applications and firewall implementation.
Now with the physical node joined to the cluster we have issues with these three instances. Whenever one of these instances is moved to the passive node the server authentication is changed from mixed to windows only. I'm no SQL expert at all but to me it looks like the configuration of the instances are not replicated to the passive node? I found some similar problems on the net but these are mostly under sql 2008.

We have run into an issue on a dedicated SSAS 2012 SP1 server where the allocated memory is not being utilized, causing some slowness in use, connections, and queries.
Total Memory on the server is 512, and after startup, the utilized memory gets up to a max of 60GB and stops there. Checking the Resource Monitor, msmdsrv.exe is only taking around 39GB overall. With the current properties, that should be at 330GB. Am I missing something in the settings or in configuration that should be changed?
Version: SQL Server 2012 SP1 Enterprise (11.0.3000)
OS: Windows Server 2012 Datacenter - Fully patched and up to date
Databases: 2 Tabular models
Server: 512GB RAM
Current memory configuration:
Hard Memory Limit - 0 (Default)

We are planning to 2014 migration in few days.
ServerA----- ServerA1
ServerB---- ServerB1
In serverA we have 5databases. And making 5databases as availability group. The replica is ServerA1
In server B we have 3 databases. And the making those 3 databases as an availibility group. The secondary replica is ServerB1.
What is the best option to configure the quoram drive in this situation.
Also Server A1 & Server B1 also we use for reporting purposes.
We have some sensitive data. Is it possible to delete the data while reading the data?

How do i find Total allocated space and used space of a memory optimized filegroup?
use memory_optimized_db
Go
select (SUM(size)*8.0)/1024.0 as Space,
FILEGROUP_NAME ( data_space_id ) , type_desc from sys.database_files
group by data_space_id,type_desc;
above query gives "current used size of the container " of memory optimized file group but doesn't give Total space detail.

I'm working on a large scale project that is currently in production. We have a big process that recently changed to use In-Memory Tables with SQL 2014 for performance efficiency.
The Process uses:
51 In-Memory SQL Tables.
50 Stored Procedures (not native) that loads data(Insert) from about 150 regular Tables and IM tables.
300 Validations (short stored procedure not native) Selecting from those 50 In-Memory Tables (And insert to In-Memory table that save the validation errors if exists on In-Memory table).
At the end of this process we clean the table from the data that relavnt to etch prosses(DELETE FROM WHERE)
B.T.W
No UPDATE STAT on In-Memory are used-when we test the prosses it slow as down and cause some locks.
We are calling this process from ADO.Net, loads stored procedure first and then validations, each SP use different SQL Connection. In normal use, everything works fine and takes about 1.5 second.
Under stress test (6 Clients X 100 Tasks) for 30 minutes. After several minutes we are starting to get this SQL Exception (1 SQL Exception for every 20 tasks):
41301. A previous transaction that the current transaction took a dependency on has aborted, and the current transaction can no longer commit.
Transactions in Memory-Optimized Tables
The Exception is not clear. We are not using BEGIN TRANSACTION in the process. The SQL Exception occurs in different stored procedures each time.

Due to a SQL 2014 cluster installation failure related to security while setting up the primary node, I had to remove the node and any related installation programs from the node and redo the installation again. However I am unable to use the machine name as the SQL network name during the instance configuration, I get the following:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Chainer.Infrastructure.InputSettingValidationException: The SQL Server failover cluster instance name "MachineName" already exists as a server on the network. Specify a different failover cluster instance name.I am still getting the same name since the node name "MachineName" is listed under the cluster name. I have used machine name as SQL network name without an issue. I do not have any existing SQL machine name in network using same machinename which I want to use for this installation.

I have configured windows failover clustering 2012 on 4 of my test nodes.
I am trying to add another node into this cluster but its not happening. I am not even able to start the cluster service in services.msc
After installing windows failover clustering, when I go to the C:WindowsCluster folder, I am unable to find CLUSDB, CLUSDB.1.container, CLUSDB.2.container and CLUSDB.blf files in the folder.
These files are very much present on the other nodes where cluster service is running.
I tried copying these files manually to server where its missing but still no luck.

I have the following setup:
- An MSSQL 2014 Standard server that houses multiple small databases (in excess of a hundred).
- These databases are frequently dropped and restored by an application that uses this SQL Server.
- There is a business need for this setup at this time, so I can't get away from it. Therefore answers like "don't have so many small databases that are frequently dropped and restored" would be somewhat unuseful
This is the problem I have:
- When I connect SSMS 2014 to the server and expand the "Databases" node, it takes forever to display. In comparison, SSMS 2008 connected to SQL 2008R2 server with the same number of databases displays the Databases tree very quickly.
I ran a trace to see what exactly SSMS 2014 is doing. When the "Databases" node is expanded, it runs a query that checks each database for Memory-Optimized Tables (new and wonderful feature of SQL 2014 for sure, but I'm not using it, at least yet). Naturally, when you have to loop through over a hundred DBs, it takes time. Worse yet, if one of these DBs is in process of being restored, the query sits and waits to time out before proceeding to the next DB. Sometimes this causes outright timeouts. Here is the query:
use [MyDatabase]
SELECT
ISNULL((select top 1 1 from sys.filegroups FG where FG.[type] = 'FX'), 0) AS [HasMemoryOptimizedObjects]
To be sure, this is NOT a SQL Server performance issue. This server processes a rather heavy workload and has been doing so for over a month, and the workload completes within expected time limits or better. Even so I've done some basic performance measuring, and the server itself is quite all right.
Moreover, if I connect SSMS 2008 to it, I get an error message (Index out of bounds or somesuch), but SSMS 2008 does connect, and displays the Databases tree much faster than SSMS 2014.
I'd like to turn off the option to check for Memory Optimized Objects altogether, as I'm not using the feature.

I try to load data into a memOpt table (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ...). The source table has a size about 1 Gb and 13 Mio Rows. During this load the LDF File grows to size of 350 GB (until the space if the disk is run out of space). The Server has about 110 GB Memory for the SQL Server reserved. The tempdB doesn't grow. The Bucket Size in the create statement has a size of 262144. The Hash key as 4 fields`(2 fields have the datatype int,1 has smallint, 1 has varchar(200). ) The disk for the datafiles has still space for the datafiles (incl. the hekaton files).
How can I reduce the size of the ldf files during the load of the data ?

We have a SQL 2014 AlwaysOn availability group running on two Windows 2012 R2 servers that are in the same subnet. We created a new server in a second subnet, installed SQL, joined the server to the Windows cluster, added a new IP resource for the new cluster, and performed the other remaining steps to add a new AG replica to the SQL instance on this new server. When we try to move the core cluster resources to the new node to test failover, we get an error. Here's the command we've been using:
Move-ClusterGroup "Cluster Group" -Node node3
and it returns the error: The operation failed because either the specified cluster node is not the owner of the group, or the node is not a possible owner of the group...I've checked the ownership of the cluster groups and the cluster resources and it looks like they are set appropriately:
>Get-ClusterGroup | Get-ClusterOwnerNode
Cluster Object Owner Nodes
---------------- ---------------
Available Storage {}
Cluster Group {node1,node2,node3}
SQLAG {node1,node2,node3}
[code]....
We've double-checked that all IP resources are in the right subnets and that the dependencies for the Cluster Name resource and the Listener Name resource are set appropriately. I'm not sure what else to check since the PowerShell commands seem to indicate that node3 is an owner of the appropriate resources. What other things need to be checked or if the ownership being checked isn't the same as what PowerShell is checking?

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 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've recently started working with a public sector organisation who have 4 clustered sql instances that has 80% of it's db mirrored.
Looking at the transaction log - it seems that a transaction log backup is a good idea as the log is 4x larger than the data file.But I'm not allowed access to the physical server to check onto which drive I can create the trn. No RDP, no vmware - let's be honest I'm not even allowed to launch cmd line Also the Server Manager informs me "We will need to carefully look at database backups if you guys want to start doing these backups on box, as that will break our off box backup routine (it will screw the transaction chain)."
I don't understand how backing up the transaction log could break the "transaction chain"?

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?
