Access Denied To Cluster Storage When Restoring 2005 Full Text DB To 2014 Cluster

Active/Active Cluster Failure - How Do You Rebuild And Rejoin A Node In The Cluster?
Aug 30, 2006We have (had) an active/active cluster. 2 physical machines,
each running their own instance, clustered together. Node1/Ins1 and Node2/Ins2.
Node2 failed and Ins2 failed over to Node1 as it should. Node2 required that we
rebuild the server (rebuild = reinstall O/S). Now we need to get Node2 back
into the cluster and get Ins2 failed back over to Node2.
Does anyone know, for certain, the correct steps to accomplish this? Obviously,
we could backup everything and completely destroy Ins2 and recreate it on Node2
then rejoin the cluster. But I'm looking for something less destructive.
Is it possible to reinstall SQL, then rejoin the cluster, and then fail Node2
over? Or will there be registry conflictions?
Any help would be appreciated. Also, if you have any links to some official
documentation, that would be great too.
Thanks
Upgrading A SQL Server 2000 Cluster To A SQL Server 2005 Cluster
Dec 28, 2007
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?

How To Transfer Or Migrate From Old SQL Cluster 2000 To New SQL Cluster 2000
Jul 4, 2007
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 !
How SSIS Works With Cluster SQL And Non Cluster SSIS Service?
Mar 14, 2008
According to microsoft, we can cluster SSIS service but it is NOT RECOMMENDED.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345193.aspx
Now this is the situation that I have where I need to understand how SSIS works?
Enviornment: Active Active cluster enviornment for SQL server with SSIS server installed as stand alone as default on both node.
Name: Node 1 Node 2
--------- -------------- ---------------------
Server name: Nd1 Nd2
SQL server name: cs-nd1in01 cs-nd2in02
SSIS server name: Nd1 Nd2
BTW, this is cosolidated enviornment so there are more than one application expected and resides on each instance of SQL server.
The question is around SSIS, what would be the best practice to develop SSIS package that can work with above envoinrment.
Secnario: What if my Nd1 fails. SQL server cs-nd1IN01 will be failover to Nd2 and it will be available. But How about SSIS packages? How that understands
to use Nd2 SSIS as Nd1 SSIS is not available. Is anyone has similar experience to setup SSIS in cluster envionrment but as non-cluster service?
Please help. Thanks in adavance.

To Cluster Or Not
Jan 20, 2005I realize this is like arguing politics or religion, but I have some wide tables that have frequent inserts on. SOme of these tables have millions of rows. I have seen pros and cons of having clustered indexes on tables like these. The one curve ball is that this is a vendor supplied app that I have little control over (ie how they call data is all dynamic sql). I thought the rule was not to cluster index on large tables with frequent indexes, but happy to hear other opinions

Can I use a single shared drive to configure 2 cluster of Oracle and SQL server?
Let me explain my question a little but.
1) I have 2 Servers attached to a SAN box configured on Cluster (Active-Passive).
2) I have installed SQL and Oracle servers on each Server attached to the SAN box.
3) Lets say SQL server fails on Server A but Oracle is still working fine on Server A, Will there be a Failover?
Thanks in Advance

New SQL Cluster
Feb 5, 2008Hi there
We have a new SQL cluster 2005 and we've done the testing for fail over with couple schenario based on Ms Documentation (prior installing SQL as well as after installing). We also did the benchmarking by running Perfmon as well.
In term of house keeping, is there any things that you guys do apart of configuring the SQL itself. Perhaps stress test (for SQL) etc etc.
Regarding stress test, do you any software that can do this?
Thanks
Help With Cluster
Jul 20, 2005I inherited a SQL 2000 Enterprise active/passive cluster under AS. Bothnodes run on identical HP DL580's with 4 Xeon processors and 8GB memory.The former dba attempted to setup AWE memory but missed a couple of finepoints. The first thing missed: the boot.ini only has the /PAE and no /3GBswitch. The second thing missed: sp_configure 'awe enabled' is set to 0.As a result, SQL gets only 2GB of virtual memory and 0GB of PAE memory.My question is how do I fix this on an active/passive cluster. Here is whatI think. Add the /3GB switch to the passive node and reboot the passivenode. Now it seems I am in trouble. If I pause the active node, I causethe passive node to wake up, but the memory images do not match. If I startwith the active node and add the /3GB switch and reboot, I fail-over to thepassive. Everything is still OK, the memory matches until I reboot, thenthe memory maps do not match.So, do I break the cluster, install the /3GB switch on each box and thenrecreate the cluster? Isn't there an easier way?Also, can I enable AWE before I begin the /3GB shuffle. I seems I couldavoid a second dance.Please help.Gary

Quick Cluster Help?
Apr 25, 2001I just need something verified.. This has to do with IP's and names. We have a sql failover cluster. So is that 4 names.. One for each local machine, one for the cluster itself and one for the sql portion? I guess my question is can the cluster group and sql have the same name and IP or do they need to be different.
Thanks in advanced.
