Standby Restore
Jun 12, 2006
I'm setting up log shipping and am running into an issue with applying the transactions logs.
This is my 5th server that I'm setting up and I take a backup of the source database, restore it with replace on the standby server. Then I take a log backup, copy it over and try and restore on the standby server, but the LSN#'s are off. It tells me it's too late for the log and try an earlier..
The timestamp on my backup is 11:43 and my translog was at noon...
I ran a checkpoint on the source database, but that didn't seem to do anything.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Susan

We are maintaining a stand-by database server by doing a daily manual restore of logs. On weekends we do Reindexing of the tables for performance boost. some of these reindexing jobs take upto 10 Hrs
We have found that the restore of the logs taken in the source server after the reindexing job takes as much time it took to do the reindexing.
Typically 15 transaction log sessions for a day takes 40 minutes to restore. However the restore of the tranlog that was taken after a 10 Hr long reindexing job takes as much time(10 hrs) to do the restore also.
The size of the tranlog does not justify this time frame. ( Size of tran logs after reindex is more than other logs but is less than 3 GB)
I would like to know what exactly is happening during the restore of the tran log. Is it doing the reindexing in the destination system as well?
The destination server (standby) is in non recovered mode all the time.
The interesting thing is that I would only take 8 Hrs to do a full restore of the database. We are using ArcServ software for backup and restore.
We are on SQLServer Enterprise 7.0 sp4 on NT 4 Enterprise on source and destination.
We run SAP R/3 on a MSCS Clustered env.
The source database size is 260 GB
Any Comments?
Appreciate your replies

I've been reading a million and one posts on replication
My scenario is that i have a live SQL 2000 server. In a DR invokation, i'e i've lost my live sever, i want to be able to access the same data at the DR (SQL 2000) site and have it accessable to the users. DR server has a different name to the live box.
Replicate
Master
CRMDatabase
Data changes all the time but can have hourly replication of transaction logs for this example. I've currently researched a sp called update logons but this has to be fed each account name to enable them on the new server. There must be a way to activate all CRMDatabase logons with the new server?
Could someone be kind enough to lead me through a step by step guide on the best solution.
Thanks a lot

Hi
Could you suggest me some of the ways to have standby database server?
All of a sudden my company is in a need for standby database server in sync upto the 10 minutes. Main production database is about 8 GB. It serves almost 6 main sites for the company. No body in my group has worked with standby server issue before.
Any suggestion would help.

We are planning to provide a disaster recovery facility for a production system. Clustering has been ruled out for technical reasons so we are considering either transactional replication or Log shipping.
Microsoft suggested the log shipping option but it seems a bit messy to me and only provides a warm standby in that it only copies log backups to the secondary machine.
Any ideas why log shipping was suggested in preference to transactional replication? Anyone have any experience in this area?
TIA Colin.

Can I implement the Standby SQL Server using the SQL Server Standard Edition? What's actually the difference between Standard and Enterprise Edition? As I know the Enterprise edition can be installed for up to 32 CPU while Standard edition can only be installed for up to 4 CPU.

I have inherited a problem that I am hoping someone can help out with. A developer used a perl script to move some backup files from one server to another and then restore the databases on other server (at least we think that is what happened, no one is really sure at this point)
Now I need to take the databases ourt of read only mode and drop them but I get an error 5063 stating that the database is in warm standby and the alter database and sp_dboption statements both fail.
How do I get the databases out of warm standby mode?
Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide.

Where can I find a document that describes how to setup and configure a standby server?
I'm new to SQL Server 7 (I like it). We have a NT 4.0 server with SQL Srvr 7. We just bought another Box that will have the same thing on it with the idea if the 1st goes down, the new box is a 'hot' standby...of course a 'cold' standby will be ok too... I'm not fussy at this point. If you have info on both great.
I'm the SQL Srvr 7.0 DBA (my background is Oracle DBA). I've been doing alot of reading!!!
Can some provide the information I need or point me to someone I can contact?
Thanks

I hope to create a 'Standby' server for a critical web application. I am tempted to set up replication, but realize this task could also be done by a scheduled DTS job, which may be much simpler. I have read up on replication and have some reservations about it. A little about our environment: Data does not change very rapidly. Some days maybe no edits, some days maybe changes to 100 rows. The environment is stable, there are few DDL changes....development is essentially over. This system has 10 databases which it uses. Hence, all would need either replication or DTS Transfers. Intended publishing & subscribing servers are on same domain. Both are production servers. I Believe either Snapshot or Transactional would meet our needs if we replicate. There is no user need for replicated data. This is SOLELY a Disaster Recovery motivated situation. Reservations about replication include the hassles with identity columns, the hassles with Subscriber Databases being left in 'Read Only' mode (thereby slowing & complicating the recovery process), the difficulty in cleaning up a server after replication is halted if we abandon replication. My gut feeling is DTS might be best. There are 10 Databases. Sizes (inaccurately) reported are 5 at less than 5 MB, others at the following sizes: 10 mb, 24 mb, 26 mb, 39 mb and one big one: 3000 mb (3 gb). Latency is not a big issue. If these were DTS'd nightly that would be fine. Transactional Replication would be slightly better, but the amount of data change is not high. I would solicit anybody's input on this. Thanks,

hi all, I am considering what should be the best way of implementingthe following requirement.I've got a SQL2K production server. Now I've got another machine as thestandby machine for this serverso I'm thinking what method should I be using for this.Should I be using log shipping or Replication? Or if it's replication,what kind of replicationsshould it be?I am thinking maybe snapshot replication can be just fine, right?

We have a process wherein the production DB is replicated to a server.subscriberA nightly and then a job processes the database for reporting services. Whenever the job fails we have to redo the process all over again. By the time we are finished it is already late in the day and our customers dont like it. Our solution for a standby server is as follows:
1. create another server.subscriberB and start same process from server.subscriberA. So, both servers are replicated from the Production server but SubscriberB is set to run half an hour delayed than subscriberA. The purpose is that should subscriberA process fails, we still have subscriberB. Then we could just change the datasource of the reports to subscriberB
2. replicate subscriberA.ReportServerTempDB to subscriberB.ReportServerTempDB
3. replicate subscriberA.ReportServer to subscriberB.ReportServer
Any insights highly appreciated...

I have some doubts on standby.
I will explain my environment.
I have two servers A and B both with Win2003 SP1
In the server A, i have a database sql server 2005 in compatibility mode -> 8.0.
In server B have SQL server 2005 and one database in standby / read-only mode. This base is getting to the transactional hour of the server A and applying in standby database. This works fine.
The problem I have is: I need to get the standby server B and create another database for test using yours files. I can get the files of server A because i have 512kpbs link and would be impractical.
Putting in the standby offline mode, i copying the files to another directory on the same machine, but when I try to create another database using the duplicate files of standby receive the following message:
Msg 1824, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Can not attach a database that was being restored.
What is the command that I need to execute to attach the new bank without message Msg 1824. The command that executing is below:
USE master CREATE DATABASE ON homo (FILENAME = N'F:MSSQLDATAhomohomo_prd_homo.mdf '), (FILENAME = N'F:MSSQLloghomohomo_prd_log_homo.ldf ') FOR ATTACH
As a newcomer I do not know which command I run before attach to conclude restore.
I execute restore database with homo recovery but the database does not yet exist. If I run the restore standby database with recovery, I lose standby and need to download backup copy the entire database in server A to B using link.
If someone has any idea is welcome.

I have recently implemented a backup solution that keeps our standby server up-to-date with nightly database backup and restores. Ironed out all the problems with syslogins and orphan users. It's been working very well over the past few weeks.
On the production server we do hourly tran log dumps every hour between 8am and 10pm. I would like to implement some form of "log shipping" to bring the window of vulnerability down to 1 hour. By making some alterations to my current process I been able to incorporate the hourly log dumps in the same process.
However, when I try to restore the log on the standby servre I get the following message,
Server: Msg 4305, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Specified file 'HODB1SQLBACKUPRace_Prd_T_dump.200101231513' is out of sequence. Current time stamp is Jan 23 2001 2:01PM while dump was from Jan 23 2001 3:01PM.
After a bit of investigation I found the dumptrdate field in the sysdatabases table and it was set to Jan 23 2001 14:01. After updating this field to Jan 23 2001 14:01, I ran the load command again but received the same error message.
Is there something else that needs updating on the standby server? Is what I'm trying to do possible in 6.5? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have one database with read-only status. I tried to change it back to normal by doing this..
EXEC sp_dboption 'test', 'read only', 'FALSE' by doing this i'm getting this
Changes to the state or options of database 'test' cannot be made at this time. The database is in single-user mode, and a user is currently connected to it.
And when i tried on Enterprise Manager it is saying
Error 5063 database 'test' is in warm Standby.
I cross checked and confirmed that it is not in single-user mode and no one is connected to the database!!
Any help is greately appreciated.
thanks

Hi all,
I have a question about log shipping and assembly on the secondary server. I have configured log shipping to the secondary server and the secondary server in standby/read-only mode. I have test everything for reading from that database on the secondary server; and all ended with great seccess, except for assembly.
My assembly simply turn bytes into text or the other way using UTF-8 encoding, nothing serious, and I have checked that assembly on both server have the same thing every where. However, I continue getting the error:
Msg 10314, Level 16, State 11, Line 1
An error occurred in the Microsoft .NET Framework while trying to load assembly id 65574. The server may be running out of resources, or the assembly may not be trusted with PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS or UNSAFE. Run the query again, or check documentation to see how to solve the assembly trust issues. For more information about this error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'asp.clr, Version=2.5.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9ed52bcb68360e98' or one of its dependencies. Assembly in host store has a different signature than assembly in GAC. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131050)
System.IO.FileLoadException:
at System.Reflection.Assembly.nLoad(AssemblyName fileName, String codeBase, Evidence assemblySecurity, Assembly locationHint, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean throwOnFileNotFound, Boolean forIntrospection)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(AssemblyName assemblyRef, Evidence assemblySecurity, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean forIntrospection)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(String assemblyString, Evidence assemblySecurity, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean forIntrospection)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(String assemblyString)
I have tested this assembly on the secondary in a read-write database, and it works fine. I can see both assembly sharing the same same thing ...
Is there a limitation for read-only database on assembly using?
Thanks

Hi there,
to follow on my question in the other forum, I have a database with triple des encrypted columns
Master key created, certificate and symmetric key using certificate. Values inserted into table (encrypted)
Can select etc, all works fine.
Back up and restore database on another server, decrypting the data results in NULLs being returned. Backed up and restore the master key, cerficate, etc but either it completes successfully or SQL states that the old and the new keys are the same and wont be changed. Master key opens (using password), cert opens (is viewable in sys.openkeys) but then closes automatically after trying to decrypt. Suggests there is something wrong with the certificate or the key, but I have no idea what it is.
Can someone please tell me exactly what is needed to view this on the 2ndary box? And what I might be missing?
Thanks

We need to perform some maintainence on our database server which may take quite some time. We have a standby server which we constantly apply logs to.
We are planning to recover the standby server and use it while the production server is being maintained.
My question is how to I get back to using the original production machine.
The only way I can think of is to do a full backup on the standby machine,
do some transaction log backup and then restore these on the original production machine.
Is there any way to use the full backup from the original production machine and well as logs from the standby machine. When I try this I get the message that the database has not been rolled forward far enough.
In summary:
1. Backup full database on Prod Server
2. Restore full database on Standby Server
3. Backup transaction log (1) from Prod Server
4. Restore transaction log (1) on Standby Server
5. Recover database on Standby Server
6. Make modifications on Standby Server
7. Backup transaction log (2) on Standby Server
8. Restore full database on Prod Server
9. Restore transaction log (1) on Prod Server
10. Attempt to restore transaction log (2) fails.
