I have setup a Microsoft SQL 7.0 cluster as Actice/Passive configuration on NT 4.0 Enterprise. The problem I am having is that when I create a shared folder on Node B on a shared drive then I reboot Nobe B, the cluster fails over to Node A, but the shared dispeares.
Does anyone have any idea why would this happend.
Thank You,

I am looking for information on using CSV storage for a windows 2012r2 Hyper-V cluster configuration.
The cluster will be used by SQL Server 2014.
Mainly, does it support filestream.I have not found much documentation for using Cluster shared volumes with SQL Server 2014.There was a session at Tech-Ed 2014 on the subject.
SQL Server 2014 is the first version to support CSV storage.
Is there a way for multiple SQL 2005 instances in a cluster to share drives for user databases.
Once we install our instances in the cluster using seperate disk resources. Can we then have multiple instances share the same physical disk for user databases only. This is for a test environment.
Thanks
Came across this scenario in AlwaysOn Availability Group (two node), file share witness times out and RHS terminate and cause the cluster node to reboot. File share witness is for continuous failover and if the resource is unavailable my expectation was that it should go offline and should not impact Server or Sql Server. But its rebooting the cluster node to rectify the issue.
Configuration
Windows Server 2012 R2 (VMs)
Sql Server 2012 SP2
Errors
A component on the server did not respond in a timely fashion. This caused the cluster resource 'File Share Witness' (resource type 'File Share Witness', DLL 'clusres2.dll') to exceed its time-out threshold. As part of cluster health detection, recovery actions will be taken. The cluster will try to automatically recover by terminating and restarting the Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process that is running this resource. Verify that the underlying infrastructure (such as storage, networking, or services) that are associated with the resource are functioning correctly.
The cluster Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process was terminated and will be restarted. This is typically associated with cluster health detection and recovery of a resource. Refer to the System event log to determine which resource and resource DLL is causing the issue.
During the installation of Adding node to a SQL Server failover cluster(On passive node) getting error like.. The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.We run the below commands but didn’t get any resolution & got the same above error .
1<sup>st</sup> Method…
1. Open console command (Run->CMD with administrator privileges).
2. net stop winmgmt
3. Rename folder %windir%System32WbemRepository to other one, for backup purposes (for example _Repository).
4. net start winmgmt
2<sup>nd</sup> Method..
1. Disable and stop the WMI service.
a) Command : - sc config winmgmt start= disabled
b. Command : - net stop winmgmt
2. Run the following commands.
a). Command: Winmgmt /salvagerepository %windir%System32wbem

I am in the process of moving databases from a SQL 2005 Standard version to a 2-node 2014 cluster.All of my 2005 databases back up successfully.They all restore without issue except for one database that has a full text catalog. I get this message

I ran the Advanced cluster preparation for a new sql instance on an existing cluster.
Slq Server 2012.
After is completed, it was successful, I realized I specified the wrong Instance Root directory.
Is it possible to remove what the preparation installed? Or is it possible to change the root directory?
Can I build a cluster by adding the cluster service, then the SQL instances, then add the other nodes and their passive SQL instances?I would lean to building the cluster first, the add the SQL instances.

can we join a node in a windows cluster which is already in a different cluster?
We have this requirement as we need to setup readable secondary ( always on AG) on the third node.
We are planning to change all IPs of PRODUCTION Failover Cluster Setup. In my cluster setup ... we have 2 Physical Nodes with windows-2008, Roles are MSDTC and SQL-2008R2.
IP change for:
1. Both Nodes(Physical)
2. MSDTC
3. SQL Server
4. windows Cluster
So Almost... All IPs are going to change.
Im DBA here, I need to take care of SQL cluster and MSDTC. But I haven't performed this activity before.So I'm worrying about Impacts and consequences of this change. steps how should I perform this activity.
Hi all,
We have many tables which have cluster index on column with datatype 'Char(200)'.
Does anyone have script to change cluster index to noncluster for all user tables which have clustered index on a column with 'char(200)' datatype.

Wanted to know about difference between cluster and non cluster index with example.
When to use cluster index and non cluster index .
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Access](
[AdminID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FnID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_AccessFn] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
[Code] ....
why the cluster and non cluster indexed created on the same key?
I am trying to upgrade a SQL Server 6.5(Cluster) to SQL Serevr 7.0 (Cluster)..I already have an intsllation of 7.0(On a Cluster),so this means that 6.5 and sql 7 are on seperate cluster's ,if i try to upgrade from 6.5 Cluster to 7.0 Cluster is asks me to uncluster 6.5 and 7.0 is this correct ,assume i cannot break the cluster then what???.. what is the best way i can achieve this functinality.....

Environment:
Windows Server 2003.
2 node Cluster single instance of SQL Server 2K sp3a.
1 SAN.
Cluster groups are:
- Cluster group with its own default resources.
- Oracle group with its own resources.
- SQL Server group with its own resources (Server,services,disks,ip address....)
Disk v: is for SQL Server databases
Disk w: is for SQL Server logs
Disk x: is for SQL Server backups.
SO now I have to create a shared folder where the clients need to connect in order to launch the program (executable file *.exe) and maybe tomorrow I will also need to create others shared folders where to put others executable.
Questions:
1)Is it correct to create theses shared folders in the SQL Server group?
2) In wich one of the tree disks?
3) If I have 20 differents programs with differents security will I end up in having a SQL Server group with 20 different resources (file shares)?
Please advise.
Kind regards.

Is anyone using sql server 70 or 2000 and a EMC or LSI Metastore SAN? If so, I would like to know how things are going for you. We are currently evaluating both of these products and will be making a decision as to which we will purchase in February. Please advise if you have anything positive or negative to offer.

Hi All,
Hopefully a painless and quick question to answer:
Am backing up the SQL2000 database(s) using the maintenance plan's under management in the Enterprise Manager.
All is fine however, we are running out of diskspace as the database grows, which is causing the backup to fail if I don't manually remove the nights before.
I have selected to delete old backup files however these files are deleted after the new file is generated and due to the lack of space the new one is not being generated....so in effect the older ones never get a chance to be deleted.
So I was wanting to know if it is at all possible to backup to a UNC path or share . I have tried however it raises an error saying it is not a valid path.
Any assistance here is hugly appreciated (asides from getting new disk - as this isn't a short term option at the moment)...
Cheers all

Can someone please tell me what is meant by a file share?I'm doing a little reading on MS Sql Server and they talk about howyou can connect to the sql server through a named pipe.I'm guessing that a file share means a specific service running on aserver. Is this correct?The book says the following:When you connect to a file share you use a Universal Naming Conventionpath to a file server: \FILESERVERSharename.To connect to a named pipe, you connect to a share of the form:\COMPUTERpipesqlqueryThanks Hope you can clear this up for me.

hi all,
i'm trying to write a script just like "copy database wizard" operation, for detaching, copy and ataching a database from a remote sql server to a local server.
Now the problem is when i try to copy the mdf file from the sql remote server to my local server.
Is it possible to create a UNC share in the remote sql server and delete after with t-sql like the Copy Database wizard does?
hope i made my self clear enought.
regards
I would like to backup my databases to a network share (NAS) instead of local disk using Maintenance Plans created by Enterprise Manager. I have successfully used a UNC path to target the destination network share but have not been to figure out how to submit a logon to the network share before the backup is executed.
The SQL Server instance is running in the context of the local system account.
Can I insert a step in the SQL SQL job that is created by the Maintenance Plans that changes the Windows account that the backup runs under? If yes what command syntax would I use in the inserted step or is there another way to accomplish that I'm attempting to do?
thanks

Hello,
I am trying to backup a database with a command like:
BACKUP DATABASE my DataBase TO DISK = '\bkSystemkDiskBackup1.bak'
but I get the error 'Cannot open backup device '\bkSystemkDiskBackup1.bak'. Device error or device off-line.
The bkDisk folder is shared, with Everyone full-control access (it's a test environment)
MS SQL 2000.
I attempted to backup my database to a shared drive using the UNC path and it gave me access denied. Any thoughts?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have SQL Server 2000 database involving voluminous data spread across different locations in a state. The database involves lot of transactions. The database involves tables storing photo images and thumb impressions along with the textual data and other needed information in a single table. I have a application accessing and updating about 5 tables and reading most of the master tables. I need a strategy to design the database such that performance improves. Once the photo and thumb are inserted for a particular party it is not required for retrieval immediately at any circumstance. In this scenario how should I design the database and keep data volume in check. Can I archive photo and thumb impressions in CDs. Will it be reliable and feasible. Please clarify on this issue. Please share your valuable experience. Only insertions involved in the partyinfo table having Photo and Thumb impressions. Later the table is only used to fetch the data of party other than Photo and thumb.

I have got a project where I am asked to utilize SharePoint features as much as possible. This project is earlier developed in .Net using Sharepoint Object Model. But now .Net should be eliminated as much as possible.
The requirements are :
Display a list of projects for the logged in user (windows logged in user). The list should have search criteria: project name, customer, project manager, project period.
On click of a project in the list, project details should be displayed Details like customer, team, start date, highlights, news. On click of a team member's name, Details of the team member (Name, office location, project joining, releaving dates, photo ) should be displayed.
To do this in Sharepoint my major hurdle is to display project list for windows logged in user. How do I do this in Sharepoint???
Expecting ideas/workarounds from all... Please be kind enough for that.

Hi,
I'm new to replication. Can anyone help with the following?
I want to publish the specific rows of data that are created on the publisher without accepting changes to those rows from subscribers, but do accept new rows (and changes to those rows) from subscribers.
EG. publisher creates rows 1 and 2 which are published to the subscriber
subscriber creates rows 3 and 4 which are merged back to the publisher
subscriber's updates (or delets) to rows 1 and 2 are not merged back to the publisher
So basically I want the publisher created rows to be published but remain as is whilst allowing subscriber created rows to be merged back to the publisher.
Hope is makes sense.
Thanks in advance,
Seedsy

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 (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
