Sharing SSRS Between Virtual IIS Servers On One “physical� Web Server.
Mar 18, 2008
Guys,
We have existing SSRS farm (3 web servers total) with single virtual IIS servers on each box.
We need to add couple more virtual IIS server on each box.
And these virtual IIS need their RS as well.
Web applications are written by independent vendors. They all have different IP/domain name.
All web app have own Reports & ReportServer virtual directories.
I was thinking of sharing ReportServer windows service and RS databases.
Is it possible? What would be best setup route?
Thanks,
OK

I have a clustered environment where I have virtual servers running and I have SQL 2005 on one of the virtual servers. Is there any way to have multiple SQL instances running on one virtual server, if so how? If this is not possible than what are some of my options?
Thank you,

Hello,
We have a couple of databases set up, and we replicate data from certain tables between the two database. One of the tables we replicate is the Users table, in which we'd like to encrypt user passwords. Initially I created a certificate on both servers, and found that I could not DecryptByCert a password that was encrypted on the other server, and vice versa. It looks like all I was forgetting to do with supply a 'ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = ' parameter to CREATE CERTIFICATE. So, now I have the following:
CREATE CERTIFICATE Cert_UserPassword
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'pGFD4bb925DGvbd2439587y'
WITH SUBJECT ='TestingCertificate'
I ran that query on both of our servers, and I find I am able to decrypt the password on both servers. So, as far as I can tell, this is exactly the way I want it to work.
So, now for the question: Is this the right way to go about it? In order to decrypt the password on either server, it means I need to pass the 'pGFD4bb925DGvbd2439587y' password to the DecryptByCert command, which doesn't seem very secure. But if I don't use the 'ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD', then the cert will be signed by the Master key, which is different on both servers, which will result in a certificate that can't decrypt what was encrypted on the other server.
Is there a way to take the actual certificate on one server, and export it to the other server, so that they're both using the exact same certificate to encrypt and decrypt? I would like to not have the password included in the Decryption command, if I can help it.
Thanks.
-Dan

Hi,On my laptop I am running Virtual Server 2005 with 2 x Windows 2003Servers. Both the VS can access the internet and shared files on thehost laptop. On the host laptop I have a SQL Server 2000 running.I have written a Windows Service to detect Application Errors and fireduplicates of events to the database, and this service sits on both VS.It does work as I have tested it on host. BUT everytime I makeapplication errors on the VS nothing is deposited into my database.Very frustrating!I have also tried to create a ODBC connection through the Data SourceAdministrator, and when I enter the login credentials for SQL I getconnection error messages.Any suggestions would be great!ThanksSun

I have a question regarding the nature of virtual sql servers, specificially what protocol is used to communicate to the server when a request is made by a client.
For example, if a scheduled job is run on the virtual sql server, what determines the protocol used (e.g. TCP/IP, named pipes etc.) by SQL Server agent? Is it the client network alias set up on the virtual server?
I am asking because currently the client aliases on some of our virtual sql servers are using named pipes and I think this is causing a problem with our backups.
Thanks,
Adrian.

There was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".
I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....
They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".
DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.
when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.
I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?

Hello -- Please excuse my extreme newbieness -- trying to get up to speed fast on SQL Server Express for work. I've been able to set up the software, create a database, and access it with no problems on my local computer, but I need to make the database available to other computers in my workgroup. I followed instructions -- enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes and turned on SQL Server Browser, and I was actually able to manipulate one system database (the "master" database) from another computer but not any other databases, not even the other system databases. I can connect to any of the databases with the SQLCMD commands, but if I try to do any SELECT commands (other than in "master") I get an error: "SELECT permission denied on object '[MyTable]', database '[MyDatabase]', schema 'dbo'". I was only able to get into "master" after adding "guest" as a user, but adding this user to the other databases has no effect. One interesting thing: When I used the sp_table_privileges command on each database, all but "master" showed all privileges being granted to and from "dbo", but "master" didn't show anything being granted to or from anybody. Does anyone know what could be going on here? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any and all help!

Hi,
I am facing a wierd problem working with SQL Server Mobile edition database. The code works fine for some time and then it suddenly starts throwing "There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file."
I am disposing and closing the connection after each operation.
Please find the function code below which is being used for any database operation.
SqlCeConnection sqlCon = null;
try
{
sqlCon = ConnectionFactory.getInstance().getPrimDsConnection();
sqlCon.Open();
readCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();
this.prepareStmtManyRows();
dataReader = this.readCmd.ExecuteReader();
IList result = this.populateManyRows();
return result;
}
catch (SqlCeException sqlEx)
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(
@"SqlCe Error in BaseReader.executeList() - ").Append(
sqlEx.Message).Append(':').Append(sqlEx.NativeError);
Log.getInstance().log(builder.ToString());
throw new DataAccessException(sqlEx);
}
finally
{
try
{
if( null != dataReader && ( !dataReader.IsClosed ))
{
dataReader.Close();
dataReader.Dispose();
}
if( null != readCmd) readCmd.Dispose();
if( null != sqlCon) sqlCon.Close();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
}
}
I have also made sure that Query Analyzer is not running on my PDA.
I have been working on this since last one week but could not find a soultion.
Thanks,
A Islam

I have a situation where I would like to set up one DB server instance for US and anther one for AUStralia. The Instance should share the same data base/hardsisk. One of the instances will be running in using US time zone and anothe one in Australia time zone.
There will be 2 Application instaces one poinint to each SQL Server instance. This applications does write into the database
So the underlying requirment is to have 2 database server running in differnet time zones but accessing the same disk/set of data
What is the best way to do this? Is it linked servers?Girish

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.

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 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

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 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
