ServicePack Installation On Cluster
Dec 12, 1999Hi,
we are currently trying to install SQL Server SP1 on a cluster. We do it according to the original MS document. Everything works fine until the last step, when the process tries to update files on the second node. This fails without giving a proper error message (it says on node 1
Running 'OS_DB1E$ENGLISHX86setupsetupsql.exe SecNode=1 -s -f1 OS_DB2ADMIN$secnode.iss'...
Remote process exit code was '-1'.
Does anybody know what the reason could be?

SQL 2005 Standard To Enterprise Edition Upgrade On Existing Three-node Cluster
Jun 10, 2007Current set-up: three node cluster running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 with two instances of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition SP2.
Virtual node 1: Standard Edition, default instance, Database Engine only
Virtual node 2: Standard Edition, named instance, Database Engine, Analysis Services and Integration Services
Physical node A: Prefered node for virtual node 1
Physical node B: Failover node for both virtual node 1 and 2 (thus having two installations of Standard Edition)
Physical node C: Prefered node for virtual node 2
We started off with this set-up because there was no need for Enterprise features, and SQL 2005 supports failover clustering with two nodes in Standard Edition. Saved a bundle of cash, so everybody's happy. Now we need to run a solution on virtual node 2 that requires Enterprise features in Analysis and Integration Services, so an edition upgrade is required on virtual node 2. I have done some research and found several edition upgrade examples, but none that match the above scenario. We are running production on these machines, so I can't risk experimenting with command line options, I have to be right the first time.
Is it possible to mix two editions of SQL Server 2005 in one cluster? Can I upgrade virtual node 2 to Enterprise but leave virtual node 1 at Standard? What procedure do I have to follow to upgrade all three components of virtual node 2 to Enterprise Edition on both physical node B and C?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Cluster Upgrade SP2 2005
May 11, 2007Have recently performed an in-place upgrade of a 2 instance sql cluster from 2000 to 2005. The upgrade process went relatively smoothly. However, I am running into problems installed sp2. The first problem that I run into is that I have resrcmon.exe locked. I can click next, which is fine, but once I get past that point I get stuck during the installation process. I am updating DatabaseServices and Integration Services. It gets stuck on 'Awaiting first complete passive cluster node SQL-Test'. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Upgrade 2node Cluster
Oct 4, 2006Hi There
I have upgraded many standalone sql server instances however never a cluster.
I have an active active 2 node cluster. Each running an instance of Sql Serevr , 1 default and the other a named instance.
All i can find in BOL is "How to: Upgrade to a SQL Server 2005 Failover Cluster (Setup) ", however this does not tell you how to upgrade and existing cluster.
Is there anything different ?
Will the upgrade detect the cluster and upgrade binary files on both nodes automatically etc? In other words is there anything different i have to be aware of when upgrading sql server instances cluster?
Thanx
Upgrading A Cluster From Trial To Enterprise
Nov 27, 2007I need to upgrade a trial version on 2005 to Enterprise. Will this work?
start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb
Does that take care of SSIS and RS?
I see that UPGRADE may only have a value of 'SQL_Engine', so I'm assuming everything relies on the version of the engine. I also see that every cluster install requires certain options that are not specified in my command - which is why I'm a little confused - you can see that info a little below this link - "Parameters Required for Cluster Installations". But I'm thinking this isn't a install, but an upgrade.

SQL 2000 Enterprise Cluster - Use NT Fibers?
Aug 3, 2007We are running a two-node cluster for SQL Server 2000 Enterprise on Windows Server 2003. Each node has four processors and 4GB RAM. Our application is hosted on a seperate IIS server with 150-200 connections accessing the database via ADO.NET (ASP.NET 1.1). Our processor utilization has been high, averaging around 80% and out context switches/sec counter averages around 15,000. We are not using NT Fibers and our performance seems to be sluggish when the context switches/sec counter is high - over 10,000. In peak periods we se this counter hit 30-50,000. I have read articles that state NT Fibers have better performance in machines with 8 or more processors. Is this something that would also help in a four processor machine? The SQL Server is dedicated to SQL, i.e. there are no other applications running. I am also considering using the "Priority Boost" option... do these options really improve performance? I'm trying to squeeze as much performance out of these machines while waiting for new hardware to arrive. Thanks.

Upgrade From 32-bit Eval To 64-bit Enterprise?
Jun 21, 2006I have a 32-bit evaluation edition installed on my 64-bit server. I have purchased a license for 64-bit enterprise edition. Can I upgrade from the 32-bit eval edition to the 64-bit enterprise edition? If I can - should I? Is the better approach to install a new named instance of the 64-bit enterprise edition - the 32-bit eval edition is an unnamed instance. All guidance is appreciated.

Upgrade SQL 2000 To 2005 Cluster
Sep 17, 2007Good Morning!
I am beginning the process of moving SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005 cluster.
Has anyone already did this and is there anything I should know?
We plan on leaving the SQL 2000 database up during this process and granting read only at the time.
I am nervous about this as this is a high profile database in our dept.
I don't even know if I know where to begin!
Any suggestions are truely welcome!

SQL Server 2000 Cluster Upgrade
Apr 2, 2008We'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?

Dec 2, 2006As I found on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx its only possible on 32 Bit subsystems and not on native 64 bit - is this true?
In addition is it a complete installations which remains the current configuration? (i guess this because we have to apply all service packs again)?
and at least - is a license upgarde possible or do we have to buy a complete new licence?

SQL Server Enterprise Edition Upgrade
Jan 24, 2007Hi,
Can someone please help me? I recently upgraded from SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Version (x64) to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (x64). While the components: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Workstation Components have been upgraded. I can still see that Reporting Services is still in the Evaluation Version. Integration Services is no where to be found.
Regardless, I wanted to add Integration Services but on the System Configuration Check, I am getting the following error: Edition Change Check: To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPgrade=1 parameter. So regardless of this message, I clicked Next, selected Integration Services and then it tells me that it has already been installed.
Anyway, I exit out of set-up. Try to create a new Integration Services project and I get the following error.
Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.PackageNeutralClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.SQLServer.DTS.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSContainer90'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '8BDFE892-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered.

Cluster Upgrade/migration Issue Advice.
Oct 8, 2007Hey all,
We have a simple two-node x86 failover cluster attached to a SAN on which SQL Server 2005 runs. We recently bought two new x64 boxes to upgrade the cluster. My original plan was to just add the new nodes to the existing cluster and then remove the old nodes from the cluster, but I just found out that you can't mix architecture types in a cluster.
So far, it seems our choices are:
1) Install x86 Windows 2003 Server on the new nodes, losing performance.
2) Make a new cluster and migrate the data, possibly imposing downtime.
Anyone have any suggestions?
In Cluster Steps Required To Upgrade Secondary
Aug 27, 2007If the primary master server become permanently unavailable, following a hardware failure for example, what could steps to promote the secondary master to the role of primary master.
The Secondary server is a updateable subscriber and there are other servers also in the cluster with read-only subscription.
As per my tests if primary goes down, we can create new publication on secondary and create its subscriptions.everything should work fine after that.
if primary comes up in any case that can create problem in new cluster so we should take care in this regard
please let me know if something is missing here.
Upgrade SQL Server 2000 Failover Cluster From SP3 To SP4
Sep 13, 2006I have a production failover cluster running SQL Server 2000 at SP3that I want to upgrade to SP4. I do not have a test failover clusterto test with so I need the install on the primary server to work thefirst time. Per the information I have I just install the patch on theprimary server and it will install both on the primary and on thesecondary.However, I remember when I did the initial install and it failed. Thefirst problem traced to the fact that the install uses temporary filesunder the profile of the installing administrator and the id had neverlogged into the second server so the install failed on creating thetemporary file. The was a second problem that related to an OS featurethat had to be off for the install to work.If anyone out there has done this upgrade and remembers encountering aproblem and its fix/workaround I would appreciate a head up warning.Thank you-- Mark D Powell --

Upgrade From Standard 64bit To Enterprise 64 Bit Issues

The upgrade works fine if the instance starts on SP2. But the instance has the hotpatch applied and is running build 3200. When I try the upgrade against the 3200 version it errors out with the following message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
My question is:

SQL 2000 Enterprise Upgrade To SQL 2005 Standard
Feb 12, 2008
Hi All
I'm after some advice, I am looking for the best way to do this:
I have a SQL 2000 Clustered Virtual Instance which is of course Enterprise Edition as it is clustered. I need to upgrade to 2005, but dont need the 2005 Enterprise features, Standard will do, as this supports clustering.
The restrictions are that you cant upgrade 200Ent to 2005Std.
As this is a fairly complex environment, it has a default instance running on node 1 and a named instance running on node 2
I dont particularly want to uninstall both 2000 instances, and then install new 2005 instances
So is it possible to upgrade to 2005 ent, and then downgrade to standard. I have seen a suggestion without any details, that there is an undocumented sp, sp_update_resume, that might do this. Does anyone know about this
Or does anybody have any other suggestions. (the names of the instances have to be the same, as the existing instances)
Thanks in advance

We have about a dozen SQL server 2000 Enterprise Edition servers in house. Our goal is to set up a cluster SQL server 2005 and consodiate the existing dozen servers to a few servers for easy manage and maintainence. So there are 3 things that we want to accomplish:
1. upgrade to SQL server 2005,
2. Consolidate existing servers
3. Make a cluster server to get high availability
But I'm sure what's the right order to acheive them. To upgrade each server to 2005 and then move them to cluster server? or set up the cluster server in 2005 and restore existing dbs to the cluster server. upgrade first or cluster first? upgrade first or consolidate first? pros and cons? upgrade or backup/restore? What do you recommend? We have lots of stored procedures, views and triggers, DTS packages and some replications. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
