View 3 RepliesHi all,I have MSDE installed on an HP server as some of the utilities requireda database. I have also subsequently installed SQL 2000 onto thisserver which is a windows 2003 box. I know it complains at the startof the installation but I was under the impression that it would stillwork ok, especially with SP3 applied.I have tried to apply SP3 but it tells me that it is not a SQL2000instance ad setup will exit?Also I have noticed that in the directory structure it has used thedollar sign i.e. mssql$machinename its the same in Enterprise Manager\machinename$InstanceName. Whats that all about? Its not like that onany other server!My plan is to uninstall sql 2k, uninstall HP apps and MSDE andreinstall SQL 2k. Can anyone explain the above though?ThanksGary

We want to set up 3 SQL 2000 servers on Windows2000 clustering. We cannot find any technical documentation about the 2 together. If you know of any books or sites please let me know.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a win2k3 server that i am going to need to upgrade to servicepack 2. It is running sql server 2000(sem reports version 8.0 - ithink that is sql server 2000). It has profiler and query analyzerrunning as well. Are there any caveats i need to be concerned aboutbefore installing win2k3 sp2 on a server with sql server 2000. Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey there I am an SQL noob, our bank has no real SQL Admin, we had onw that left but never had a good knowledge transfer. We have 2 SQL servers clustered. IBSQL1 and IBSQL2 they make up cluster IBSQL. We have 2 other servers IBIIS1 ans IBIIS2 and we noticed when installing apps on them that they could not see the database. Yet it can ping IBSQL. The problem is on IBSQL1 and 2 port 1433 is not listening or open. Thus on IBSQL it isn't either of course. I have read of all kinds of people having this issue and most have said you need to manually add a connection string "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=machineName,1433;Initial Catalog=xx;User ID=xx;Password=xx" Problem is I do not know how to add a connection string.
I need step by step instructions since im new to this. Start/programs/etc..... Apparently it is not enough to open the properties of tcp/ip in the config util and say 1433. You need to reenforce it by adding that string.
As it stands I cannot "telnet ibsql 1433" it tells me to take a hike basically.
So is the connection string the likely cause? or could it be something simpler? Thanks in advance.
For a SQL/2005 DB Server do I need the /3GB switch or not? I will have IIS running on the server; however, it won't be doing very much as the SQL Database is the main thing:
Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise w/16 GIG RAM 4 CPU (Virtual Machine)
SQL/2005 Enterprise Edition
Hardware: Dell Server 8 CPU w/32 GIG RAM running VM ESX V3
I know I need the /PAE switch to utilize Memory over 4 GB - the question is do I need the /3GB switch along with the /PAE switch?

We are planning a SQL Server 2005 install on VMware ESX, as thebackend to a Sharepoint Services 3.0 web front end..Do I gain anything at all by installing SS 2005 on Win2k3 ENTERPRISEas the OS instead of Standard??Thank you, Tom
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to install MS SQL 2000 SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP1 box. The only installer I can find on the disc is in the MSDE directory and when I run it it immediately gives me this error:
"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
I have tried copying the install files to my local hard drive for install, I have checked the version of my Windows Installer (3.1.4000.1840). I have the SP4 updates ready to go once it's installed, but I just cannot get past that point. I know that the same software version has been installed on other Windows 2003 systems, so why would it have a problem on this one machine?
Thanks
Hello All and Happy New Year (I believe that is still allowed by the PC police?!)
Has anyone experienced performance problems (i.e. processes taking a lot longer to connect to the database server) after appyling Windows Server 2003 SP2 to a server that was previously running Windows Server 2003 RTM? The version of SQL Server (2000 SP4) has not changed between OS Service Packs.
To set the scene, we upgraded one node of a cluster to Win2K3 SP2 intending to upgrade the other node the following night if no problems were encountered. However, after failing over to the patched node we experienced something akin to a Denial Of Service attack whereby connections were gradually refused until even existing connections were kicked out.
We resolved that issue by disabling the SynAttackProtect Registry key (details http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;899599), but although connections are no longer being refused they are taking a lot longer, e.g. opening a Query Analyzer window now takes several seconds to connect to the database. The actual time taken by the database engine to execute sql queries has not increased, but is perceived by the users as having done so because of the time taken to return results.
I asked our server team to run diagnostics against both nodes and they found no problems and no differences apart from the OS service pack level.
I am about to reopen the case I logged with Microsoft, but thought I'd see if you guys had experienced anything similar.
Thanks and regards

Microsoft Security Paradigmes are Irritating. I sure they're fine onceyou know what they are, but for the uninitiated it's quitecounterintuitive to work with.I moving an old SQL Server-backend-IIS5/ASP-frontend application toservers with windows 2003 standard edition. One server will run thedatabase the other will run IIS 6.0. Note that i haven't set-up adomain, which i think requires one machine to be domain controllerwhich would decrease performance and stuff. I've simply put them on thesame group.I wan't to restrict access the sql server so only the incommingconnection from the webserver is allowed. I can use either namedpipes(which should be the fastest protocol) or tcpwhich should beslight slower than named pipes) but i seem to have a problem. If I usenamed pipes to connect the IUSR(the user under which IIS is running)must have access-rights to IPC$ share on the sql server. I can't seemto set any access-right directly for IPC$ share, but i can reactivatemy guest user and then it works, everyone can now access the ipc$ shareso it's not really what i'm looking for.I can also connect through TCP( and set up some kind of filter onlyallowing incomming connections on port 1433 from the ip of the webserver.But i don't know how to do this. I've taken a look at the IPSec stuffbut it's all about kerberos authentication and other bull which i don'tthink i need. What i need is simply a ip traffick filter, which doesnothing else but reject incomming connection from all other ip's thanmy webserver.My question is how do I do this? Do i need to have a addtitíon"firewall" service running and if so why, how much extra overhead willthis create for the server. Alternately, is it possible to change theaccess right for the IPC$ share manually?Thanks in advance for any input you might have on this?Regs Jens

Hi,
I am currently working on with the ASP encryption of my application. I've tried to test the encryption of the connection string using the capicom.dll in my local, and it works successfully. However, I am not quite sure if this will still work after my OS is upgraded to WIN2K3 (my current OS is WINXP). Will this dll component be impacted after the OS Upgrade? or will there be no impact at all?
Any inputs from you guys would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
We have 2 env. : Testing and Production, both are running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SQL Server 2005. The difference is Testing is NOT running Windows cluster but Production do so, what is the best way to transfer a database from testing to production?
We have another systems that both testing and production are running on NON-cluster and we use backup/restore to transfer the database, can it apply in this case.
And I found that there are a tools called DTC, which can transfer all DB objects from one DB to another, is it a best way to transfer between non-cluster and cluster env.?

I need to cluster two NT Enterrpise Servers with SQL 7 running on them. I have been looking all over the Net for info but not much luck. I need to have some specifics. Can you help me with some good sites or books or both? I have tried Microsoft and they had some info but not much.
Please help!
thanks
We are in the process of consolidating all our SQL6.5 and SQL7 databases to a single SQL 7 server - once completed we want to setup a 2 node SQL7/2000 cluster on either NT4 Enterprise or W2k Advanced Server. I would therefore appreciate any advice in choosing between the two platforms based on cost, ease of setup & configuration and ongoing reliabilty & uptime etc - we currently have no NT4 Enterprise Servers so would have to purchase these licenses anyway. Correct me if I am wrong but I also understand that setting up a cluster on NT4 Enterprise is considerabely more complicated and time consuming than on W2K Advanced Server? Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

I have a job interview and I need to know what type of questions can be asked about working in a cluster environment, I don't have much experience in clustering, can someone please give me an idea?
Thanks in advance!!
Can I implement failover clustering between SQL Server 2000 & SQL Server 7.0? Or do they both need to be the same version of SQL Server.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question relating more to documentation and support. I'm trying to find documentation on clustering.
I remember quite some time ago I found a white paper that literally walked you through every step involved in setting up a SQL Server failover cluster. I had also found a white paper that walked you through setting up an Active/Active cluster.
I've been going through Microsoft's site, but all I've found are little bits and pieces.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, or even provide a link, etc. as to where to find some good solid documentation, that would be awesome.
Thanks!!

If i have an activepassive cluster for SQL Server, under what circumstances would it prompt to automatic changeover to the passive cluster ? Failure of the SQL Server, or let's say 1 user database out of 25 becomes suspect?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhat is clustering tell me in detail
We currently have a cluster configuration that is running as failover with one shared SAN storage solution. Two servers running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and SQL 2005 Enterprise. We have two nodes right now running in failover and we will be purchasing a third.
Everything is working now, but we would like to move to an N+1 configuration with two active nodes hosting a separate SQL instance each with one failover node. I've seen N+1 mentioned on about a dozen Microsoft websites, but I cant find any documentation on how to setup or configure this clustering method. Has anyone ever set up a configuration like this or seen any documentation on how to do it? Is it possible to run failover with three nodes, two of them being active?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Where can I post issues with SQL 2005 clustering. Is there any prereq that needs to be followed before installing SQL 2005 on a windows cluster?
Thanks
Hi All,
Is anyone can tell me the difference between log shipping and clustering? I look at it and I think that this is the same thing as they use two different servers.
TIA
Does anyone know the answers to either of these, given that we are talking about an active/passive cluster using MSCS, and we use Groupwise for mail (don't ask!)?
1) How do I configure Agent Mail on the cluster under this setup?
2) How do I set up linked servers from this setup to other (non-clustered) SQL servers - I can set up the cluster virtual server as a linked server from the others OK, but the other way around doesn't work - perhaps not surprisingly, but is there a way around it?
Thanks

I need some documentation on how to trouble shoot clustering SQL7EE. I have setup the cluster and looks like it is working but I missed somthing. When I test a failover by pulling the Network cable to the main network not the heartbeat network both boxes lock up. I can failover by powering down one box and using the MSCluster Admin. I am using NT40 6a on Dell PowerEdge 2400 and PowerValut 211s
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs any doing any using Microsoft's Clustering technology as a failover
system with NT/SQL Server ?
Those of you who are using MS Clustering, what are some advantages vs. a third party product such as "Double-Take" ? If you have used "Doube-Take" I would be extremely interested in your thought of the product.
Is it relatively easy to setup and configure with and environment
that's using all the standard products of BACKOFFICE (SQL Server 7.0 Standard Edition, NT 4.0 Standard Edition etc...)
Any hints, tips, etc... would be also GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
