Failover Cluster Using 64 Bit Windows 2k3 On Single HBAs And DS400 With Dual Controller

Apr 12, 2006

We are trying to setup a system to system failover cluster using two
nodes (x346) which each have a single hba running to seperate
controllers on the DS400.

For full redundnancy, IBM recommends dual path from each node but we
dont need that. The current setup has two completly seperate paths. hba
on node 1 to controller A on DS400 and hba on node 2 to controller B.
If i take a controller offline, failover works fine to jumo to other
controller and throw all resources to it's node but if i shutdown a
node- the cluster loses all attached storage and DS400 is unaware to
switch ownership to other controller.

Is there a way to us mscs without dual path from each node?
anotherwords... if either node or controller fails on a single path, we
want the other path to become active.

our main goal is to use sql server 2005 clustering on the cluster.
everything checks out perfect if i only use one controller on the DS400
for both nodes but this brings us back to another single point of
failure.

I saw that Qlogic has MPIO drivers on thir website for the DS400 but it
seems as though they are for 32bit systems and the install errors out
with:

C:Driversmpio1.0.8.4 (w32)>install.exe -i
Pre-Installing the Multi-Path Adapter Filter...
Success
Installing the Multi-Path Bus Driver...
Failure. Error code (0xe0000235)

configuration:
2 X IBM x346 w/ single QLogic 2340 HBAs running win2k3 64bit Enterprise
DS400 w/ dual controllers

SQL Server On Windows 2003 Domain Controller

May 17, 2007

I am currently runinng Sql Server 2000 on a Windows 2003 domain controller. I cannot access my local sql server using windows authentication. All i receive is a cannot generate SSPI context error. I understand this is probably related to a security policy issue on the domain controller. Also Sqlserveragent service will not remain running and shutdowns immediately after it is started. This also produces an SSPI context error in the error log. If anyone can help with my configuartion of windows server 2003 such that sql server will recognize a valid sysadmin role for my domain admin account it would be greatly appreciated.

Cluster Failover ?

Oct 2, 2007

Hi I just set up a new cluster and everything was working. Now when I try to test failovers like unplug the public network card etc...

The cluster group fails over correctly but my data and log array's dont failover.

So I unplug the network cable from node 1 (active) the cluster group with the IP, name, and Quorum disk fails over to node 2 but the other groups sql data and sql log stay on node1 and dont failover.

Any ideas?

TIA

SSRS On A Failover Cluster

Apr 9, 2008



We need to install the webservice and the database on a failover cluster. Our plan was to install the web service on node 1 and the database would naturally be on the cluster aware sql service. We know the RS will not be cluster aware and if node1 bites the dust, reports will be out of business.

We were planning to do this tommorow on development, but then found this little tidbit - read the very last paragraph

http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/crm/using/deploy/clusteringssrs.mspx

SQL Server Reporting Services failover cluster configurations that are not supported

Do not deploy both SQL Server Report Services and the reporting services databases on each node of a multi-node cluster. Moreover, do not deploy SQL Server Reporting Services in a two-node cluster environment that consists of an active node and a passive node where the passive node becomes active during a failover.



They don't explain why not to do it - as if it will destroy your machine! This is our main dev cluster and we don't need it to go down.

We will not be installing the RS on each node, just one. But I was thinking that if the dns entry for the service points to N1, it will continue to function and make successfull DB calls to the sql server cluster name.


Could this work? I've found posts of people installing RS on both nodes and having success - but this would probably require another license...which we don't have.

Thanks so much for your help - it is greatly appreciated.

Applying A Hotfix To A Failover Cluster

Jan 25, 2008

Hi. Was hoping to get some advice on applying a hotfix to a SQL Server 2005 failover Cluster.

The hotfix I am applying (KB933508) relates to a Maintenance Plans issue with Server 2005 Service Pack 2. During installation I'm advised that unless the SQL Server and other services are stopped a reboot will be required, although I can still install the hotfix. However the installation is failing. There are error details in the relevant logs created in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfix to the effect that the 'Debug' value in registry key 'SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller' can't be read and that SQL Server was unable to add a user (the account under which SQL Server Agent and Analysis Services run) to a local group (the domain group in which SQL Server logins are contained).

Is this something simple like explicitly shutting down the services first before applying the hotfix or is there something else going on?

Regards,

YaHozna

Cluster Is Set To Sync And Auto Failover

Mar 12, 2015

I have a 2-node Windows Cluster and File Share Witness with an availability group. The cluster is set to sync and auto failover. I'm using SQL 2014 and Windows 2012R2. I'm trying to understand the steps to apply Windows Updates that require a restart. Are the steps something like this where ServerA is the primary replica and ServerB is the secondary replica.

Apply updates to ServerB.
Restart ServerB.
Fail ServerA availability group to ServerB using ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP MyAvailGroup FAILOVER;. Server B is now the primary.
Apply updates to ServerA.
Restart ServerA.
Fail ServerB availability group to ServerA using ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP MyAvailGroup FAILOVER;. Server A is now the primary.

What I don't understand is where Drain Roles on the Failover Cluster Manager fits in?

SQL 2005 Failover Cluster Installation

May 2, 2008

I noticed in installing a SQL2005 failover cluster instance,that it is not necessary to install on both servers. Installing on the primary node automagically installs to the secondary node. Does this constitute a COMPLETE install? It all seems to work. BUT this process does not intall client pieces (SSMS, for instance) on the secondary node. If you want that stuff there, do you then go to that box and just do a client install?

Failover Cluster Option Grayed Out

Aug 11, 2006

I have a mystery that I need a little help with.  I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Std Ed. into a two node failover cluster running on top of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Ed..   I have the cluster up and running.  It consists of an IP address, cluster name, a shared drive (E:), and an MSDTC resource.   When I run the SQL Server 2005 setup, the failover cluster option is always grayed out.  I have tried installing from the active node and from the cluster virtual server.  The result is always the same, no option to install a failover cluster.   Some suggestions would be appreciated.  I have read all the online docs I could find related to SQL 2005 failover clusters and found no clue.  

Thanks,

SQL Failover Cluster Install Failure

Sep 19, 2007

When trying to install SQL 2005 as a failover cluster in a Windows 2003 64 bit SP 2 cluster, I receive the following error when trying to select the installation path after choosing to install as a failover cluster.

_________________________
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup
------------------------------
The drive specified cannot be used for program location. Program files must be installed on a valid local disk available on all cluster nodes. The valid values are
__________________________

There is a knowledge base artical that says this can be from not installing the software with an account with admin permissions on all the servers in the cluster with the 64 bit install, but the account I used is an admin on both servers.

The only thing that I can think is causing the problem is that it is setup to boot from our SAN and it is using one fabric. By default Microsoft Clustering doesnt like this, but we use the newest storeport driver and applied the registry key supplied in KB article 886569 to resolve this. I could not find any documentation showing that this would limit a SQL 2005 Failover Cluster from seeing the shared storage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
