Sql 2005 Clustering Problems

Mar 27, 2008

Hello,

I am using MS Virtual Server and wanted to configure sql 2005 clustering.

My configurations are:

1. DC

2. Node1

3. Node2

DC, Node1, and Node2 are in the domain.

1. Bring up the DC

2. Bring up the Node1

3. Bring up the Cluster Administrator and started the clustering configuration.

4. I run into serveral errors.

Services won't start:

Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

Could not start the Cluster Service service on local computer.

Errors on Clustering Config:

The cluster node is down

The node is already a member of a cluster but the cluster services is not running. This node will not be configured at this time

Can someone help and advise.

Thank you.

SQL 2005 Clustering And MSDTC

Oct 22, 2007

hi all....active/active. windows 2003 sp2. two nodes. two instances, each on a separate virtual server. my msdtc resource is in the cluster group. when i have the cluster group on one node, the sql instance that is running on the other node can't see DTC. Makes sense since the service is not up, but is this a problem? Seems strange to have a red stop sign on my dtc icon in sql management studio. I suppose I won't be able to run Distributed Transactions on that node, which kinda stinks. Wondering if anyone has seen a workaround.

SQL Server Clustering 2000 Vs. 2005

Jan 18, 2007

I am getting ready to have a SQL Server failover cluster setup. I have used SQL 2000 for years, mostly for DTS and related database activities, but NOT in a cluster. I have used SQL 2005 for about one year but not intensively, and NOT in a cluster.

We need to set up a cluster. We are setting up a DELL EMC solution. I am going to hire a consultant to set it up, including the SQL part. My questions are should I use SQL 2000 or 2005? (I don't know if one is better than the other for clustering. Both are supported by our vendor for the application we are running.) How hard is it to maintain a cluster if one hasn't had experience in that area before? How should I prepare?

Any opinions or experiences that you would like to share would be helpful.

Thank you.

SQL 2005 Clustering Setup Question

Oct 19, 2006

Installing a SQL2005 active/passive cluster for the first time and have an issue/question. When running throught the SQL2005 setup and you have to enter the Virtual Server name, I enter the Virtual name that has been allocated an IP address and up pops a message saying the name already exists. Why is this? Surely the name and IP address have to be in place before running the setup. Slightly confused here.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Quorum Disk - Clustering SQL 2005

Feb 18, 2008

Dear All,

I am trying to setup clustering for SQL 2005. I initially want to setup a 2 node cluster in Active/Active Configuration.

I am trying to understand the Quorum disk in SQL 2005. As I understand the quorum disk is a shared resource. How is this resource configured? Would I need to have an iSCSI or fibrechannel connection from each of the nodes to the shared disk?

As well, does each node have a separate data drive? Or do all the nodes use only the shared storage?

Thank you.

SQL Server 2005 Clustering/Replication/Mirroring

Sep 28, 2007

I am developing an enterprise class solution using SQL Server 2005 and MS .NET v2 and am tying determine if SQL Server 2005 (which edition and if so how) would be adequate for my proposed solution. Any feedback, tips, comments would be greatly appreciated.

As a background the solution I am developing will be web services based and used by multiple offices around the globe by over 500 users. I have already developed a prototype using a single SQL Server 2005 instance but as this solution is going to be used by offices around the world I want to have an IIS Server and SQL Server 2005 server instance in each office with "links" back to the primary SQL Server 2005 cluster in Australia.

One of my thoughts was to set up replication between the offices that would happen at midnight remote office local time and then set up triggers to update the primary cluster when assoociated data was changed on the remote sites or on the primary cluster. Does anyone know or can anyone suggest alternatives to this strategy?

I effectively need some sort of inter site caching functionality with store and foreward capabilities ...

Thanks

Andrew

SQL 2005 Analysis Service Clustering And Majority Node Set

Apr 4, 2008

Hi,

I am trying to set up a SQL 2005 analysis server cluster in our two servers, AS02 and AS04. The server cluster is built up on Majority Node Set (MNS). During the installation of the analysis service, I don't see the available cluster groups. In the cluster admin, the cluster is up and running fine. The MNS cluster has no shared disk, and it has two nodes.

Any thoughts or suggestions? or is it possible to built the SQL 2005 analysis service cluster with MNS?

Thanks.

Transfer A Database From Non-clustering To Clustering Env.

Nov 13, 2007

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.?

Will SQL Server 2005 Failover Clustering Still Work When The Database Level Is Set To 80?

Nov 2, 2006

We want to use sql 2005 failover clustering feature, so that upgrade sql 2000 is necessary. But some of the stored procedures built in 2000 are not working directly in 2005, set the compatibility level to 80 could make them work. In this case, can somebody here tell me if down grade the database level will affect failover clustering running properly? e.g. will data still be synchronized properly? Thanks in advance.

I would like to build a msql cluster with only 2 servers (2 nodes).

I read here -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=818234dc-a17b-4f09-b282-c6830fead499&DisplayLang=en

SQL Clustering-NT Vs W2K?

Nov 20, 2001

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..

Clustering

Feb 14, 2005

I 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!!

SQL N + 1 Clustering

Mar 4, 2008

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.

Clustering Questions

Jul 24, 2000

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
