Add additional IP to Windows 2008 SP2 Cluster

Dears,
I have a 2 node SQL 2008 Cluster 64bit (non r2) on Windows 2008 SP2 64bit (non r2) Server.
I need to add additional IP (different subnet) to the Cluster Quorum Resource.
Kindly guide me the steps to add the IP ?
Thanks
Tariq

HI Tim,
Well we need more than one IP address on the Cluster (Quorum) for our replication to work as for some reason we cannot use the production IP which is currently configured for this Cluster.
Further if you are doing multi-site cluster with different subnet then you may need two IP with different subnet on the cluster (not for services or application)
I found this usefull command and it worked on the win 2008 sp2 (non r2) server:
C:\>cluster . res "FS IP Address" /create /group:"file server" /type:"IP Address" /priv address=192.168.1.106 subnetmask=255.255.255.0
For win 2008 r2 servers there is powershell command through which we can achieve the same.. :)
it took me hard time to figure out that "failoverclusters" module will not work for win2008 SP2 server.. !!
Thanks

Windows 2008 Failover Cluster - Cannot add a generic service

Trying to add a generic service in a failover cluster.
Select the option Services and Application and it opens the wizard and then displays the error "An error was encountered while loading the list of services. QueryServiceConfig failed. The system cannot find the file specified"
The cluster validation wizard completes successfully. Permissions do not appear to be an issue as this account can seemly do everything else so I am at a loss to understand why this API is failing when it tries to query the server for services information.
Having searched the Internet the only thing I have found was someone posting a similar issue in the Greek language Technet forum(if I recall correctly) and their comment was they rebuild their cluster.
Windows 2008 (SP2) x64 two node cluster running a non-Microsoft database. We need to add a non-Microsoft Enterpirse backup solution and this is their documented method (adding it as a generic service) - both bits of software are from big vendors.
Symantec AV, but have tried with that disabled so don't think it has anything to do with that. Something is stopping the API from reporting back but I can't find what.
Really appreciate some help before we have to log a chargable call with Microsoft support
Thank you

Upgrade ASM Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 to ASM Oracle 11G R2 on Windows 2008 SP2

Please advice on procedure or where I can find information on upgrading ASM from Oracle 10G to Oracle 11G R2 (Winwdows 2008 SP2 64bit environment) for mutiple Oracle instances (not a RAC environrment).
The current scenario is as follow:
- Two oracle homes; one for ASM instance and another for the Oracle Databases (in current case only two oracle instances possiblly more at a later time). Both (ASM and Oracle databases) have the same version of Oracle 10.2.4.0.
The Oracle database home can't be upgraded due to application restricition (Vendor Application not tested on Oracle 11G) but will like to upgrade the ASM instance to Oracle 11G (Oraclle 11G R2).
Questions:
- Is is a feasable solution? Can I upgrade ASM instance to Oracle 11G R2 to take advantage of new features? Will the ASM upgrade scenario is compatible with the Oracle Database Instance running Oracle 10G? Any possible issues that I should be aware or concerns?
Is it possible to have ASM running in Oracle 11G R2 and service the need of Oracle database instance running in 10G?
Please advice or where I can obtained information on the matter. Also possibly if someone has done it on Windows 2008 SP2 (not Windows 2008R2).
Thanks in advance

Thanks so I can upgrade the ASM Home instance and leave the Oracle Databases home on Oracle 10.2.0.4.
I agree with you not just 100%, actually 120%. Fortunately, the vendor is finally understanding by pressure provided by DBAs and Application Teams that they are very behind the curve. It is working and by summer we should have an oracle 11G compatible product.
The same thought went when I was told of their compatability database level.

Task scheduler in windows 2008 R2 cluster.

We have clustered server and there's two nodes - Active(A1)/Active(A2).
Ordinary client can connect A1, but A1 is failed then connect A2 by windows 2008 R2 cluster.
We have a task scheduler exe module created by .net framework in each node.
When A1 server is operated, we wanna just A1 job scheduler active.
And A2 server is operated, just only A2 job scheduler acitve.
Can We contoller this situation in exe module or Failover Cluster Manager?

If you upgrade to Win2012 or higher you can. Here's a blog on it:

Problems using SQL Server 2014 upgrade advisor on a windows 2008 sp2 server

I got sql server 2014 upgrade advisor up and running on a windows 2012 vm and every thing works fine, but I am having trouble installing it locally for a SSRS Box. The SSRS box is running windows 2008 sp2 enterprise edition, but when I try
and run the SQLUA.msi install nothing happens.
anyone else experience this issue?

Hi jesse,
Welcome to the forum :-)
Can you please clarify your issue in more details. I did not understand what you are doing. What do you mean by "installing it locally for a SSRS Box". Do you mean that you are trying a simple installation which do not work, and raise an error?
If so then (1) we dont need the extra information about "why you need the SQL Server" :-) we just need to help you install it regardless the SSRS. (2) We do need the full error log and the error message that you get.
By the way, The SQLUA.msi is just a small utilities named "Upgrade Advisor"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144256.aspx
Do you want to install the SQL Server itself?
What is your current SQL Server on the local windows 2008 server?

Dism command in windows 2008 SP2

Ho do I run the command
dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded to clean up winsxs folder in windows 2008 SP2.I got message /online command works only in windows 2008 r2,and in windows 2008 sp2 it needs to be run in offline,can any one give idea how i run this command
in windows 2008 sp2

Hello,
Firstly, please keep in mind that WinSXS folder is an important directory that keeps the shadow copy of the important system files, which gets changed during any installation of Patches or Updates or software. With the use of WinSXS Folder all system files
can be reverted back to the stage where it was before installation of Patch/Update. Hence, it’s not wise to wipe the WinSxS folder.
Secondly, just like the warning message suggested, DISM can only be used in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (Not in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008). For Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Vista SP2, there is tool called Windows Component Clean
Tool (COMPCLN.EXE).
Refer to: Windows Component Clean Tool
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351467(v=WS.10).aspx#BKMK_COMPCLN
•Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1: VSP1CLN.EXE
•Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2: Compcln.exe
•Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1: DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /SpSuperseded or Disk Cleanup Wizard (cleanmgr.exe)

Thanks and regards
Srini

Hello Srini,
Please run the cluster validation and make sure the node1 network configuration is properly configured, this issue is due the communication timeout between the nodes.
There are 2 causes for this issue
1 --> Duplicate accounts in AD, this error occurs if you are adding node to cluster which has the computer name same as the user account name in active directory
2 --> windows firewall port might block the communication ports between the nodes, please make sure you turn off windows firewall on both the nodes
Look for any specific errors in system event logs
If you dont get much information then please generate cluster log and upload it here then we can analyse and see what's causing this issue.
Cluster log /gen
will generate a cluster log and place it in the %systemroot%\Windows\System32\Cluster\Reports

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

thank you and appreciate

Hi Viet,
Based on your description, the issue seems to be caused by that you associate a folder path with a drive letter
by using the SUBST command. Would you please open a command prompt and type
SUBST command, then check if there has substituted drive letters.
For more details of
Subst command, please refer to following TechNet article.

Sapjup cannot find correct shares on Windows 2008 R2 cluster

Hello Guru's,
I have succesfully installed CRM 5 Abap+Java on Windows 2008 R2 based hardware. This is a HA setup.
I am now in the process of upgrading to CRM 7.01. Unfortunately, the java upgrade program SAPjup runs into an error (share
Host_A\sapmnt does not exist) I cannot solve up to now.
This is my setup:
I have two application servers: Host_A and Host_B. Both servers form a Microsoft Failover Cluster. The shared disk for the abap and java central services is the F:\ drive, the cluster name is Cluster_X.
The Central Instance is installed on the local disk G:\ of Host_A; The Dialog instance on local disk G:\ of Host_B.
As instructed in the manual, I have moved the SAP cluster to Host_A and started the the upgrade process on G:\ drive of the same host.
During the phase PREPARE/INIT/INPUT_SAPSERVICESID_PWD_HA, the SAPjup program is trying to map the
Host_A\sapmnt share to a drive letter ('net use' command). This step results in an error.
I can explain this error since the proper share in my opinion should be
Cluster_X\sapmnt instead of
Host_A\sapmnt.
In Windows 2003 this was not a problem, because
Cluster_X\sapmnt and
Host_A\sapmnt can both be accessed and refers to the same disk location when the cluster group is active on Host_A. However, in Windows 2008 R2 this is not the case anymore and
Host_A\sapmnt is not a valid share.
Has any one of you run into this same problem or have suggestions how to solve?
Rob Veenman
SAP Technology.

I owe you an answer for the issue we had.
I opened a message with SAP, and got acklowledge that this is indeed a bug in SAPJup. SAP is working on a solution.
The work around (which was succesful) was as follows:
1. I moved the SAP Cluster group to Host_B (the DI host).
2. I created g:\sapmnt on Host_A and copied content from the shared drive
Cluster_X\sapmnt
to this local drive.
3. I shared diretory g:\sapmnt with share name sapmnt on Host_A and gave
SAP_<SID>_GlobalAdmin Read/write access.
Now SAPJup can continue. At the next interrup, you can remove the local directory g:\sapmnt and move the cluster disk back to Host_A.
I will give an update and close this thread as soon as I get a definitive solution from SAP AG for this issue.

Windows 2008 R2 cluster and FTP-connection

Hi,
We have windows 2008 r2 server cluster. There is a resource which is connected by the third part
via ftp. When they establish the connection, there is configured ip-address to certain node.
When we manage cluster, it might happen that the resource is left on the other node and when they
establish next time the ftp-connection, it says that can't connect. I've made similiar usernames with
similiar passwords on both nodes.
Is there a possibility to configure the environment so, thta ftp-connection is not depend on which
node the resource is?

Oracle 10205 on Windows 2008 SP2 certified?

I was able to install 10205 on Windows 2008 R2 using their special instructions, but can't seem to find Oracle statement that it can be installed on Windows 2008 SP1/SP2?

Hi,
Yes. The 10.2.0.5 patchset is not specific to a Windows version (it's a general rule for the patches/patchsets under Windows). The only distinction is 32 bits / 64 bits in this case.
There was a particularity for the base release to be used for Windows 2008 but you noticed it.

Windows 2008 R2 Cluster - migrating data to new SAN storage - Detailed Steps?

We have a project where some network storage is falling out of warranty and we need to move the data to new storage. I have found separate guides for moving the quorum and replacing individual drives, but I can't find an all inclusive detailed step
by step for this process, and I know this has to happen all the time.
What I am looking for is detailed instructions on moving all the data from their current san storage to new san storage, start to finish. All server side, there is a separate storage team that will present the new storage. I'll then have to install
the multi-pathing driver; then I am looking for a guide that picks up at this point.
The real concern here is that this machine controls a critical production process and we don't have a proper set up with storage and everything to test with, so it's going to be a little nerve racking.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I would ask Hitachi. As I said, the SAN vendors often have tools to assist in this sort of thing. After all, in order to make the sale they often have to show how to move the data with the least amount of impact to the environment. In fact,
I would have thought that inclusion of this type of information would have been a requirement for the purchase of the SAN in the first place.
Within the Microsoft environment, you are going to deal with generic tools. And using generic tools the steps will be similar to what I said.
1. Attach storage array to cluster and configure storage.
2. Use robocopy or Windows Server Backup for file transfer. Use database backup/recovery for databases.
3. Start with applications that can take multiple interruptions as you learn what works for your environment.
Every environment is going to be different. To get into much more detail would require an analysis of what you are using the cluster for (which you never state in either of your posts), what sort of outages you can operate with, what sort of recovery
plan you will put in place, etc. You have stated that your production environment is going to be your lab because you do not have a non-production environment in which to test it. That makes it even trickier to try to offer any sort of detailed
steps for unknown applications/sizing/timeframes/etc.
Lastly, the absolute best practice would be to build a new Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster and migrate to a new cluster. Windows Server 2008 R2 is already out of mainstream support. That means that you have only five more years of support on your
current platform, at which point in time you will have to perform another massive upgrade. Better to perform a single upgrade that gives you a lot more length of support.
