SQL Server + MS Virtual Server Connectivity
Feb 18, 2008
I am testing out server virtualization for our company and I hit a road block when I got to SQL Server. All the test consists of is installing IIS 6 on 2K3 Standard, installing SQL Server and trying to connect to the database in a SqlDataSource in Visual Web Developer 2008. I can access the Default.aspx page at http://server/Default.aspx, but I cannot access the database. TCP and Pipes are on and I shut down the Windows Firewall on both the host and guest OS's.
I can't connect to SQL through code locally or remotely. I can't connect with Server Management Studio from a remote machine (Error: 1326 - could not open a connection), I cannot connect from the host OS, but I can connect locally within the VM to Management Studio.
Thanks

I have been tasked with moving our SQL server estate onto new 64bit SQL 2008 Virtual servers on a VM base. Each Virtual server will be attached to our SAN that i will have no control over. Do i ask for multiple LUNs pretending that there is a COS), Etemp), FData) and Glog) disk structure or do I just present a very big space as a single C: drive and let it go.We are consolidating lots of old physical servers onto fewer (more powerful) virtual servers (according to the VM and SAN administrators)
1. Configure your SAN properly
2. Don't overallocate shared resource

I'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!

What is a virtual server?In my new job,my boss mentioned about moving the websites from a physical server to a virtual server.Why is this done or needed?
Also he insists that I buy and install SQL server 2000 enterprise edition in my laptop and use the enterprise manager to access their server.Can't I just download the client tools from their SQL package and be able to access their server?Do I need a CAL or is it just enough to have a permission in their network for my laptop?
Can anybody throw some light here please?Thanks!

I really need some help. This is what I'm trying to do: first of all, i have a PC running Vista. Now on that PC, i have a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 6, which has Win XP with SP2 installed on it. On the virtual machine, i have Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with SP2; now, the thing is, i have a program in C#, which is supposed to connect to a network, but since I'm running on just one PC which is not connected to a network, i instead connect to 127.0.0.1 via port 1433. Now here's where my problems start. At first, i could not connect because i kept receiving an error which said "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. (provedier: TCP provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)". A friend of my mine helped, so i did the following: i went into SQL Server Surface Area Configuration (configuration for localhost) , changed the remote connections to allow for both local and remote, using both TCP/IP and named pipes, restarted the database engine, started the SQL Server Browser; then i went to administrator tools, Data Sources (ODBC), and from System DSN tried to add an SQL Server. I gave it a name, and on the server textbox i tried typing "localhost", but doing so, i could not get past the next screen, (i did specify the port as 1433) where i have to chose between win nt and sql server authentication, and neither would work (even though i know the sa password and can log on to SQL Management Studio using that password). Then i tried copying the server name from the management studio, as the server when trying to add the system DSN. That seems to have worked, and i finished ading the SQL Server to the System DSN, using the database which i wanted. But after all these steps, i still get the exact same error as before - "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. (provedier: TCP provider, error: 0 - No connection could
be made because the target machine actively refused it.)".If someone can please help - i've tried everything i can think of - i can access the internet from the virtual machine, i even tried disabling the firewall, but no luck. Is it because of the virtual machine? If so, can anyone suggest a solution? I actually doubt it, because i've even tried to install it on my pc, not the virtual machine, so on vista - and also installed SP1 for VS 2005 and SP1 for Vista, but still the same thing. Sorry for making this post so long, but if anyone can help, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Say I have 2 servers clustered for SQL. xxxP1 and xxxP2.
Can my SQL virtual server name be xxxP1 or does it have to be something other than the names I called the 2 W2K boxes.
Thanks..

Good morning,
I am looking for some first-hand experiences from fellow DBA's where they had SQL Server running on a Win2K3 VM. What sort of issues (or successes) did you find re: resource sharing, swap files, etc? Are there any experiences where using a VM negatively affected your environment?
Thanks so much. What a great forum!

I have two instances of SQL Server running on my Development machine.I am having some performance problems and while investigating theproblem I saw with the Process Explorer form Sysinternals that bothinstances consume each 800 Mbytes of memory!I experimented with sp_configure and by giving both instances a fixedmemory size. Both methods do not seem to have any effect.Can anybody explain me why SQL Server is using so much memory?Thanks for any information.Evert WiesenekkerPSBesides the northwind database I only have one simple extra database(70 Mb in size) installed.

I have a 2 part question about adding a new 'named' Virtual Server to an existing Clustered SQL Server 2000 install.
I have a 2 node MSCS Cluster (WIN2K advanced Server sp4) with a default SQL Server instance. This has been in production and working fine. I created a new Cluster resource and reran SQL Server 2000 ENT setup and added a second Virtual SQL Server (named instance). After many problems, finally got the second Server installed. Now I have 2 SQL Server instances in the Cluster - from what I understand, you can have up to 16, each seperate installs with seperate Cluster resources.
Thus the problem:
For the Second Instance, I have specific instructions from the Applications vendor on how to install SQL Server to work with their APP. I need install SQL Server WITHOUT the Full Text Search component and WITH a specific Server Collation (Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual character set). (I have done this same setup on standalone SQL Server installations for this APP and they have gone smooth).
When I installed the new Virtual 'named' instance in my Cluster, I Could NOT 'DESELECT' Full Text Search when I choose Custom install.. it does not appear as an option???
Also, I chose the "Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual character set" during the installation, but that is not the Server Collation that is installed...
I have already installed SP3 for SQL Server against the Virtual Server on this Cluster, as well as a HotFix... and Now I'm thinking I need to rerun the SQL Server installation, uninstall the second server and reinstall to see if I can fix the 'Collation problem' .. but I'm not sure if this is the right course of action.
Does anyone know why I cannot 'deselect' Full text search component at install, and any ideas why it did not install with the SQL Server Collation that I specified at install????

Hi,We have a prod server running on SQL server 2000 64 bit. It is a4cpu server with 16GB of RAM. we have a maxmemory setting of 15.5GBfor sql server. Inspite of 15GB being available for sql server, itstill uses paging file space, a lot. When looking thru task maanger wecan see sql server using 15.5GB of Memory usage and 22GB of Virtualmemory usage. I don't understand why it should even be using closer to7GB of Paging space, when it has so much memory. How does SQl serveruse Virtual memeory vs Physical memory?HAs anyone seen this before.ThanksGG

I am unable to successfully complete an install of Visual Studio 2005 with SQL Server 2005 Express on a Virtual PC 2004 image, which seems to be a pretty reasonable expectation. The installation completes successfully all of the way through in a Windows XP Pro SP2 image, but at the end the installation program informs you that SQL Server Express has failed to install, with no other explanation. No setup log files give any information as to why the installation failed. Then I see in the fine print for SQL Server Express downloads that "There is no support in this release for Virtual Server, Virtual PC". (http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/c/6/cc66b572-a402-4c6a-8233-b9c7d05840c7/RequirementsSQLEXP2005.htm)

We need to move a cluster to a new data center. There is a strong preference to retain the previous SQL Virtual Name. The existing cluster has a single default instance. We understand that when you have created a SQL Server FCI that you can change the SQL Virtual Name but not the instance name. So if the current SQL Virtual Name is SQL1 then at a high level:
Build cluster at new DCInstall SQL Server FCI with a virtual name as SQLTEMP and as a the default instanceShutdown old cluster ???Rename SQLTEMP to SQL1 Since there is an existing SQL Virtual Name my concern is that we cannot simply rename SQLTEMP to SQL1. Do we need to delete the VCO from AD for SQL1 in step

I
am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set
the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one
virtual domain. The nodes can connect to each other as well as the
physical machine. When I try to install a fresh copy of SQL 2005 on my
cluster, I get an error every time. The
error stops the installation while checking system configuration after
installing prerequisites. The log file entry is as follows:

Hi,
We have a DB2 server which is linked to our SQL Server 2005 database. The link is through ODBC connection. Now, we are able to access some of the tables without any problems. But couple of tables are not accessible and we get following error::"

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server. I want to connet to SQL Server database and fetch records. SQL Server will be present in some other server.
For connecting to SQL Server is it necessary to create DSN. Is it possibel to connect to SQL Server with out DSN
I want following parameters are enough for opening connetion are not:
MyConnObj.Open _
"Provider = sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=172.16.1.60;" & _
"Initial Catalog=TESTATV;" & _
"User ID=sa;" & _
"Password=p@ssW0rd;"
As per my assumption
Data Source is your server name
Initial Catalog is your database name
please clarify me on this.

Local SQL 6.5 SP4 on a Windows NT SP4 workstation (Pentium 350 / 128 MB).
SQL server has 32 MB of RAM. It starts well but begins continuously eating up virtual memory by 16k blocks in a second,
until it takes all virtual memory.
Server's shutdown generate following error in Event log System section:
Event ID: 7011
Source: Service Control Manager
Description: Timeout (120000 milliseconds) waiting for transaction response
When I start Server from command prompt with -f switch, it did not eat virtual memory,
and did not generate any error in Event log at shutdown.
Many thanks for any help.

Sql 2005 Enterprise fails to install on a 64 bit VmWare Windows 2003 virtual server. All componets install up to including the Reporting services. The next componet (I believe it is the management studio portion) fails to install. I have moved the install files to the local machine and this did not help. If someone knows how to fix this please share.

Hello All.
I have a failed sql cluster setup on Windows 2003 OS cluster. sql will not uninstall on node 1 because it says the group name was not specified in the template.ini file for the cluster. The OS cluster nodes have been evicted from the cluster. The OS cluster is no longer available to provide a group name for.
SQl uninstall process process is failing because of the error mentioned above.
I want to completely , uninstall SQL server from both nodes,
clean up Windows Server and install just a default instance of SQL server on just one of the machines, The cluster can wait.
Thanks.

Hi,
I want to do the backup of SQL server. I want the backup to be consistent. So before starting the backup i want to freeze the DB and once i finish i want to thaw it.I read the Microsoft SQL server virtual backup specifications. It is concerned with taking backup of the DB using snapshot or without using snapshot.I don't want the snapshot to be created. I just want to freeze it and i will take the backup ( with or without snapshot ) . After that i want to thaw it. Is it possible using VDI or is there some other way to do that ?

Hi all,
I want to write a backup application for SQL server.I have read the VDI specifications for SQL server 2005. I want to know whether I can use the VDI just to freeze and thaw without taking the snaphot and the backup. Or is there any other way to do the same ?

Hi guys
We are in the processes of finalising or server architecture for our production environment and the proposal that has been put forward is to run the database within SQL Server 2005 which is running in a virtual machine. It is thought (by some) that this provides a very high degree of redundancy as it will use ESX server and will have multiple servers in the farm that it can move to in the event of a server crash (which i admit makes a degree of sense).
I however am worried about performance. I release as soon as you go to virtual you loose some raw power because the box is busy running the virtual but more from the point of view that if we make cretin hardware resources available to the virtual would the server run the same as if it was running on a physical machine of the same specifications. For example, if 4gb ram and x amount of clock cycles where dedicated to the virtual would it preform the same as running it on a physical box 4gb ram and x amount of clock cycles. If the answer is no, any supporting documentation that anyone knows of would be greatly appreciated.
As a side note if it makes any difference the database data files and transaction logs are being sorted in an external SAN and not within the virtual image itself.
Thanks
Anthony

Hi,
My task is to freeze SQL server so that it can be in a consistent state and after my job is done i need to thaw it. I have gone through the VDI specification given by Microsoft SQl server. It is concerned with APIs to third party vendors to take backup of SQL server with or without snapshot. Using that is there a way to do my task ?
Thanks in Advance
