We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2000 Server to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server at the same time. We want to keep downtime to a bare minimum.
What we were thinking was the following steps... Anyone try this?
1. Break the link between the servers.
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Restore a copy of a backup from the active production side to the node we're upgrading and at that point we would bring the active node down, switching the active node to be the newly upgraded server.
4. As a final step, the old active node would now have the link to it broken, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on it and sql server 2005. At this point we would bring it back into the cluster and the cluster would be complete again.
Thoughts?

Hi
We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.
Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?
Thanks

We have 2 SQL servers in a failover cluster environment. SQL1 and SQL2. Currently SQL1 is the primary in the cluster, and we need to upgrade from Service Pack 3 to Service Pack 4.
Our setup:
Both servers are Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition.
Both servers have SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3.
My question is:
Which upgrade plan do I take? Do I:
1. Upgrade the backup (offline) server in the cluster (SQL2) first, reboot, then failover from SQL1 to SQL2? Then do the other server?
2. Upgrade the primary (online) server in the cluster (SQL1) first and see if it replicates to the backup?
Any advice or tips would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
We shall be taking a bunch of 7.0 instances and moving/upgrading to a SQL 2000 cluster server. I was thinking of creating new named instances on the 2000 cluster and upgrading each 7.0 server to it's respective named instance. Also thought of using the 2000 copy database wizard; I was told this didn't always work. Anyone hear of problems with this?
Thanks

This error pops up right after i change the type of the step to "SQL Server Intergration Services Package"
I have made the following configurations:
The user group (windows group) that the user belongs has the following roles in msdb :
db_dtsadmin
db_dtsltuser
db_dtsoperator
SQLAgentOperatorRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentUserRole
i have made a proxy to sql server agent which has the following subsystems :
"SQL Server Integration Services Provider" the proxy is tied to the same login which has those SQLagent and dts roles in msdb database.
Im using windows authentication and the user that logs into the sql server is in the same group that i have set all of the rights.
Ps. Clearly im missing some role or right somewhere because as soon as i give the group sysadmin role then all the users in that group can create SSIS steps in the agent.
Ps. Ps. I have been living under the impression that i dont have to give sysadmin rights to people that create ssis packages and schedule then with the agent.
I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.
This humble grasshopper seeks wisdom.

I am currently running an active/passive cluster NT4 with SQL7 clustered. I am trying to upgrade SQL to a clustered 2000 version. I have a san disk area allocated as a Z: drive. These are the following steps I have taken:
1. Used cluster wizard to uncluster the SQL 7 instance.
2. Using the SQL 2000 Enterprise cd created a new virtual server (with the same IP address and name as the previous SQL 7 server) I have left the install as a default instance.
3. Part way through the install I am asked to browse to the data area. The data area is Z:mssql7data.
On completion of the install I now have the following data path Z:mssql7datamssqldata and all the databases are still SQL7 databases.
My questions are:
How can I get the install to update/convert the databases to SQL 2000 as it doesnt seem to recognise them?
Will the install always suffix the data path with mssqldata
Any assistance appreciated.
Hello SQL pro's,
I have a SQL 2005 cluster using 2 HP DL 380 32bit servers connected to an HP MSA500 disk pack via SCSI. I need to upgrade the servers to 64 bit but I am still going to use 32 bit windows server.
My question is, has any tried this before? If so, will it work and what is the best way to go about it. Should I take down the secondary SQL server, then replace it, then add it to the cluster, then fail over to it, then replace the other?
Any information is greatly appreciated.

I have upgraded our test server and on non cluster production machine. My next server is a cluster and I don't have a test cluster server. Do I upgrade the active node and that is all or am I going to need to fail it over and upgrade the other node.
Also the prerequesite for the upgrade advisor is .net 2.0 I am going to up that on each server one at a time but I am only going to add the upgrade advisor to one node is that ok.
I read the SP1 documentation and it clearly states only patch the active node and do not patch the inactive nodes.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.
Here's the rub:
If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).
I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been running my production Web Application for the last 10 months using SQL Server 2005 Express on a dedicated server...and now I am ready to upgrade to the next best version of SQL Server without going broke.
I have 1 dedicated server (with 2 processors) entirely dedicated to hosting this single database intensive Web Application, so my quesiton is...
Should I upgrade to the WorkGroup Edition of SQL Server 2005 ($740) or should I go with the SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition that has 5 CALs ($1200 for CD's only at viosoftware.com)?
I look forward to hearing some advice on this matter,
Thanks, Greg
Hello,
as the installation of SQL Server 2005 takes very long and the installation of SP 2 for it even longer, is it possible to get a DVD from Microsoft, which installs both in one step? Or create such a DVD for yourself using the files on the normal DVD and in the service pack?
(When I asked the same question some years ago about SQL Server 2000 I was told that this would be possible with the next SQL Server version).
Can multiple SQL instances (sql server 2000 and sql server 2005) be clustered in an active/active environment?
Thank you.
Hi!
I hope the answer is as simple as the question -- but after reading all the documentation I could find (understand?) and a lot of posts here, I'm no closer to achieving the goal.
I have a Visual C# app, DAYTRACKER, developed in VS2005. It uses a database with several tables constructed using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I want to deploy the app plus the database plus SQL Express to another machine, to be used by a single user (the administrator) with no need for network connectivity of any kind.
What I have so far is:
1. The application is successfully deployed from a CD-ROM, having used the Publish process within VS2005, and opens on the new machine -- without database connectivity, however.
2. SQL Express is successfully deployed (it deployed as a 'prerequisite' when I went through the Publish process in VS2005)
3. I manually copied the database's .mdf and .mdl files, using SQL Server Managers 'Copy Database' function, then transferred the copies to the new machine into the ..MSSQL.1MSSQLdata folder (where they appear along with the master.mdg, mastlog.ldf etc files)
Now, the DAYTRACKER application's DAYTRACKERConnectionString under 'Settings' in the VS2005 studio reads 'Data Source=DELL3;Initial Catalog=DayTracker;Integrated Security=True' (which are the appropriate parameters for the machine, DELL3, on which I wrote the program.)
The problem, of course, is that SQL Express on the new machine doesn't connect the application to the database. When I go to the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and go to the 'SQL Server 2005 Services' and double-click on the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' icon (the service is running) and the user is logged on using 'Local System Account'. Under the 'Service' tab the Host Name is 'MUSIC' (which is the name of the new machine I've installed the app onto -- which of course is not the name - DELL3 - that the app's connection string is expecting). Under the 'Advanced' tab, I've tried correcting the name of the Startup Parameters default .mdf and .mdl entries to ..DayTracker.mdf and ..DayTracker_log.mdl, but the server won't start up after I make the changes.
What I'm hoping for: a step-by-step way of doing this type of deployment, preferable getting it all onto one CD-ROM, and installing it on the new machine so that it all works seamlessly from the start, not requiring any 'tweaking' of the SQLServer Express settings by the end-user.
But I'll take pretty much anything that fixes the specific db connectivity problem I've described.
Thank you very much.

Hi
I have a SP that works on SQL 2000 but not on 2005
It is just suppose to step through my code and insert values into tables where it finds the "ticked" values
here is apiece of my code. I hope it Helps.
Code Snippet
INSERT INTO Members (ClientID, Name, Surname, Email, Username, Password, Active, WlcSent)
SELECT ClientID, [Name], Surname, Email, Username, Password, Active, [Welcome Sent]
FROM StageMemberUploading
WHERE ID = @numValues
SET @CurrentValue = (SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY())
IF @ClientID IS NOT NULL BEGIN
INSERT INTO MemberUsergroup (MemberID, ClientID, UsergroupID)
VALUES (@CurrentValue, @ClientID, @UsergroupID)
END
IF @DateOfBirth IS NOT NULL BEGIN
INSERT INTO _MemberProfileCharacterValues (MemberID, OptionID, OptionValue)
VALUES (@CurrentValue, 1, @DateOfBirth)
END
-------------------My Code Stops here ------------------------------
IF @Male = 'x' BEGIN
INSERT INTO _MemberProfileLookupValues (MemberID, OptionID, ValueID)
VALUES (@CurrentValue, 2, 1)
END
IF @Female = 'x' BEGIN
INSERT INTO _MemberProfileLookupValues (MemberID, OptionID, ValueID)
VALUES (@CurrentValue, 2, 3)
END
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Could someone give me an ideal of what it takes to upgrade the memory in my cluster. Is it as easy has upgrading the passive node, switching the nodes, then upgrading the other server. And do I need to re-configure the windows cluster. And will both server need to be down at the same time at any point.
Or is their more to the process? Thanks for any assistance.
btw, I currently have 16mb of RAM in each node.
Hi,
I have to transport a big database table and can't read it at once with "select * from table" because the table is bigger than my system memory.
Is there a way to read the table step by step? I thought it was possible with ADO and his serverside cursors but I don't now how. I need an "universal" solution that works on SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL and Oracle.
Regards,

Connecting to a networked SQL Server Box from my local machine
Open Query Analyzer from Start menu, logging in using sa account.
from the object browser i select my stored procedure (WEA_InsertClaim) - right click and select Debug.
i am prompted to enter the parameter values, which i do, auto rollback checkbox is checked - click Execute.
T-SQL Debugger opens and runs through the stored procedure.
but only buttons enabled are the "Go", "Toggle Breakpoint", "Clear All Breakpoints"
so i can set breakpoints etc. but when i select Go it will not stop at the breakpoints it just runs through the stored procedure from start to finish. giving the correct return code as its output
is there something i need to enable in order to make it stop at breakpoints??

I have a virtual machine that previously had SQL Server 2005 installed. Since I changed the computer name, I have to reinstall SQL. I removed all the SQL components and am trying to reinstall the database and reporting components. The installation is failing on the "Removing temporary files" step. According to the setup progress screen, the following components have been installed:
OWC11
SQL Server Bakcward-Compatibility Files
SQL Server Database Services
Reporting Services
Visual Studio Integrated Development
SQL Server Books Online
SQLXML4
Workstation Components, Books Online - this step is still in "configuring components" status.
The virtual machine is running Windows 2003 Server SP1 with all current patches, using just under 2 GB of memory (1920 MB of RAM), the host is Windows XP SP2 with all current patches, with 4 GB of memory.
I had no problem doing this procedure on a different virtual machine, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Iยดve been reading that SQL Server 2012 Always On is dependent on having a Windows Failover Cluster setup. Is that correct ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a good step by step guide to setting up an indirect configuration?

Just wondering if there was something else out there....

I have two Windows 2000 servers (Advance Edition) to form a Windows Cluster. I also install MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on the cluster to form a MS SQL cluster. Now, I want to upgrade the hardware and OS (but keep on using SQL 2000), so I install Windows 2003 server Enterprise Edition on two new servers to form a new Windows Cluster. I am planing to install MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on the new cluster, so the old SQL cluster and new SQL cluster are side by side. I would like to know how to setup a new SQL cluster (I know it has problem to rename SQL Cluster name, so how to fix this problem)? And how to transfer everything (such as system databases, users database, sql user account, password and maintenance plan jobs etc) from old SQL cluster to new SQL cluster? And how to switch over from old SQL cluster to new SQL cluster?
Thanks a lot !
Hi, could someone tell me if this configuration is possible?
Machine A: Instance 1 (ACTIVE) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine B: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (ACTIVE) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine C: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (ACTIVE)
I know that it is possible with 2 machines with the clasical solution of Machine1: active-passive, Machine2: passive-active, this way if one of the machines goes down the other one will take the job of both instances, but I dont know if this solution is possible in SQL server 2000 with 3 instances at the same time.
Help please? thanks
We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2003 Server 32 - bit Standard to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003 64-bit Enterprise. Our existent cluster's databases are residing on SAN. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2003 32-bit Server to Windows 2003 64-bit Enterprise Server at the same time. We want to keep downtime to a bare minimum.
What we were thinking was the following steps... Anyone try this?
1. Break the link between the servers. Or should we just evict the passive node?
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64-bit server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2003 32-bit Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Bring the active server down.
4. Create new cluster on the newly upgraded server and assign the same cluster name and IP as the original one.
5 Bring the luns from SAN to the newly upgraded server and initialize SQL Upgrade
6. As a final step, the old active node will be rebuilt, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64 - bit server on it and sql server 2005. At this point we would bring it back into the cluster and the cluster would be complete again.
Thoughts?
