Convert from Cluster to Standalone

Hello. 
I'm seeking some advice on an issue I need to overcome. 
I have a SQL2012 Cluster running on Windows Server 2012 on XenServer.  All cluster related storage is provided via iSCSI. The device that is providing the storage is failing and I need migrate the data off of that device with as little downtime as possible.
 I also would like to avoid having to install a non-clustered instance of SQL Server..
Based on my research, it seems like what I'm trying to achieve is not impossible
This thread here: http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2355/dismantling-a-sql-server-cluster-after-a-p2v-physical-to-virtual-migration/
Seems to be my best way forward given the fact that I want to resuse the existing installation and data. My plan is to snapshot my AD servers and SQL servers then with SQL and Clustering shutdown. After that, here is what I've come up with:
1. Remove Failover Clustering
2. Ensure iSCSI disk for SQL Data is mounted
3. Remove the Cluster key from the registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\...
4. Add the Cluster IP to the host vNIC
5. Restart SQL Server and validate it "works"
6. Stop SQL Server and move data files and etc to new destination
7. Disconnect iSCSI disk
8. Change drive letter of new data disk
9. Restart SQL Server
Anyone mind sanity checking my logic here? When I remove the cluster service and resources, will that also remove SQL Server Instance/Service? 
TIA, 
Errol Neal

Have you considered storage replication as a solution? You introduce a 3rd node in your SQL Server failover clustered instance but using a disk that is an exact replica of your existing one. This is typically done for a geographically dispersed clusters.
The storage subsystem for the nodes are not shared so you can have different ones per node so long as the storage is replicated on a block-level.
Also, you can introduce another shared storage in your WSFC, shutdown SQL Server and copy all of the database files on the new storage via ROBOCOPY. Once done, you can swap the drive letters of the disks to make SQL Server think like nothing has changed.
So long as the drive letters of the new clustered disks are the same as the old one, everything will work fine.
Another option is configuring an Availability Group as a temporary solution while you fix the storage on your cluster. Add another node on your existing WSFC and install a standalone SQL Server 2012 instance on it. Configure an Availability Group between
the two and failover the databases to this instance while you fix the storage on your SQL Server failover clustered instance.
I don't recommend taking a snapshot of AD. Keep in mind that you have other objects in AD that may be affected when you take a snapshot. You may end up introducing issues in your environment.

  • Migrating System Center Databases from cluster to Standalone

    Hi
    We have been advised to migrate all our System Center SQL DB's (mainly ConfigMgr, OpsMgr, ServiceMgr and Scorch) which are currently running on mostly 4 nodes SQL clusters (with different other business services and impacting the System Center Performance
    as Memory and CPU constantly hitting above 90%) to standalone SQL environment.
    OS - Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows Server 2012
    SQL - SQL Server 2008 R2 / SQL Server 2012
    Can someone advice steps or strategy to execute this?

    Is this the right SQL architecture for System Center?
    How do you optimize this? I ran both queries and it returned zero values.
    The DR plan is to implement back up strategy with SCDPM and keep backup copies on Azure Cloud. Plus, we will follow the DR plans for each System Center Product.

  • Hyper-v Replica: Planned Failover from Cluster to another Cluster Failed

    Hi Guys,
    i have one issue and i cannot find a way to troubleshooting
    i Have one Primary Site running 8 nodes Hyper-v with Failover Cluster and Hyper-v Replica Broker confguration
    i have one Replica Site  running 8 nodes Hyper-v with Failover Cluster and Hyper-v Replica Broker
    Replica Broker Configuration:
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=45C59B28F67FC71C%212271
    both side are pinging and name resolution is ok
    all ports are open
    The Virtual Machine Replication is ok
    The Planned Failover cannot complete and show me this simple error
    "failed" 
    i have no message on event Viewer
    Error:
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=45C59B28F67FC71C%212270
    Planned Failover from Cluster (Primary site) to another Cluster (Replica site) with Replica
    Start Hyper-V Manager pr failover cluster console on the primary server and choose a virtual machine to fail over.
    1. Turn off the virtual machine that you want to fail over.
    2. Right-click the virtual machine, point to Replication, and then point to
    Planned Failover.
    3. Click Fail Over to actually transfer operations to the virtual machine on the Replica server.

    Hi Samuel,
    In the original post :
    Tests: 1 -
    Planned Failover from Cluster to StandAlone Hyper-v is ok
    Test: 2
    Planned Failover from Standalone hyper-v to Cluster is ok
    Test:3
    Planned Failover from Cluster (Primary site) to another Cluster (Replica site) with Replica
    There is no  standalone hyper-v to standalone hyper-v between two sites .
    After the last test , if they still can not do planned failover , maybe you can focus on network configuration .

  • Tips on Converting from 5 to 8?

    We are currently using RoboHelp 5, our projects are all
    WebHelp projects, and they are all in RoboSource Control (RSC). Our
    corporate office purchased licenses for us to move to RoboHelp 8.
    Any suggestions on the best way to proceed?
    As a precaution, we are planning to keep one of our RH5
    licenses installed on a standalone PC and move copies of the
    project out of RSC to that PC. Our initial attempts to move the
    projects out of RSC using RH5's remove project from RSC option have
    not been successful. Even with the folders renamed, the projects
    still open as if they are in source control. Two questions here.
    First, do you think this precaution is necessary? Second, if it is,
    any suggestions on removing projects from RSC?
    Does RH8 convert projects that are already in RSC?
    One of our other companies converted from RH6 to RH8 and
    experienced issues with losing styles. Our projects use customized
    skins and customized .css pages. One of the customizations to the
    skins was provided on this forum years ago; we added a print tab
    with the option to print a WebHelp topic. Will RH8 convert the
    skins and css pages?
    After we install RH8, will we still be able to work with our
    projects in RH5 as long as we haven't converted the individual
    projects to RH8?
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    Making a backup is simple. Open Windows Explorer and make a copy of the project folder. Place the copy in a different location. Network server, Thumb drive, CD/DVD, etc.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Does Microsoft support disks which have been converted from MBR to GPT with third-party tools?

    Before opening a ticket with Microsoft to get the official response, does Microsoft support disks which have been converted from MBR to GPT with third-party tools?
    We have various disks on Windows Server 2008 R2 fileserver cluster that are all MBR with various mount points added to overcome the 2TB limitation on MBR disks.  Due to the time involved in physically moving the 30Tb+ of data to GPT disks, I would
    like to investigate the option of a lossless conversion tool. Does anybody have any experience of these in production environments that could comment?
    Any advice and details of experiences would be really appreciated!

    Hi,
    Besed on my research, Microsoft supports a fileserver cluster if the disks have been converted from MBR to GPT using a third-party tool.

  • ABAP code needed to convert from 0calmonth2 & 0calyear to 0calmonth

    Hi SAP GURUS,
    Can anybody give me the ABAP code to convert from 0calmonth2 and 0calyear to 0calmonth.and please suggest me whether i have to write start routine or end routine in transformations.
    Thanks ALL.

    hi,
    in the transformation map 0calmonth2 and 0calyear to the 0calmonth field, and from drop down choose routine.
    there will be an area where it will be mentioned write your piece of code below this line.
    paste the below code:
    Concatenate source_fields-0calmonth2 source_fields-0calyear into result.
    also delete the line result = .
    save the routine and execute the package.

  • The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

    Hi all,
    Greetings for the day
    I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
    However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
    If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Parag Deb

    Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

  • How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

    when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
    I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
    This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of  stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
    HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
    Please, will someone help?
    I would be so grateful.
    thanks,
    Gina

    Gee, Pat, this is a  real big help.
    Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
    Maybe someone else has an idea.
    Take Ownership of a File or Folder
    The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
    Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

  • How do you stop DNG Converter from embedding Adobe's ACR default settings instead of custom settings?

    I notice that the new version of Adobe DNG Converter (8.6, and maybe earlier) appears to place Adobe's ACR defaults in the converted file.  Thus, the converted files open up in Bridge with an indication that they already have settings made, and, hence, ACR does not apply the custom camera settings.  One has to Clear Settings first in Bridge, then open in ACR.
    This behavior is new, perhaps to 8.6.  But it's presence defeats the purpose of having custom Camera Defaults.
    Is there any way to prevent DNG Converter from installing settings?

    ssprengel wrote:
    What do you mean by “custom camera settings”?  Do you mean you’ve changed the Camera Raw defaults for a particular camera and those aren’t being seen until you do a Reset?  Or do you mean some sort of Nikon-settings that Adobe never looks at?
    Also at what point in the workflow are you converting these files, just after copying them to your hard-disk and before touching them with any other Adobe software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Nikon software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Bridge/ACR, initially as NEFs?
    I mean my custom camera defaults that are set by the Save New Camera Defaults for a given camera.
    My workflow is to take my original raw files first into Adobe DNG Converter.  I then open the folder in Bridge.  At this point I notice that my original raw files remain unaltered (there is no "settings" icon in the top right corner – circle with two lines and up-arrows – in the image's thumbnail), but the converted dng's (otherwise untouched and unopened in ACR) have a "settings" icon.  When I open the original raw file in ACR, it opens using my custom camera defaults.  When I open the otherwise virgin dng in ACR, it opens using the Adobe defaults (the same defaults that would be employed if no custom camera default had been set).
    This behavior is new.  DNGs formed by earlier versions of the DNG Converter did not apply any settings to the converted file, and when they opened in Bridge, they were given the custom camera settings.
    In order to retain the old (and proper) behavior, I now have to take the just-converted documents into Bridge, select them, and immediately apply Develop Settings/Clear Settings.  That gets rid of the settings that have been installed by the DNG Converter (as well as the "settings" icon on the thumbnail).
    I notice there is a new feature in Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, namely, a panel-specific toggle between the settings and the default settings. This indicates to me the likelihood that Adobe has been making some alterations with the settings that is having unintended consequences.  It clearly is not proper for DNG Converter to be adding (installing) settings, because that prevents the custom camera default settings from being applied, and hence defeats the purpose of the custom camera default settings.

  • Applescript to convert from AW6 spreadsheets to Excel

    I have an iMac (iMac12,2) running OS 10.9.1 with applications of Pages’09 (4.3), Pages (5.0.1), Numbers’09 (2.3) and Numbers (3.0.1) available.
    One of my laptops is a MBA (MacBookAir1,1) that I have kept at 10.6.8 with applications Appleworks (6.2.2) and Appleworks (6.6.9) available.
    Recently, I converted many CWWP documents from AW6 into Pages.  This was done on the iMac with an Applescript that copied a file (AnyDocumentCWWP) to the desktop as a file named AWV6, opened AWV6 with Pages’09, saved the result as AWV6.Pages, applied the creation date and modify dates of the original to AWV6.Pages, moved the new AWV6.Pages to the original directory and moved the original file to the trash, renamed AWV6.Pages to the original filename (excluding extension).  The Pages version of the original document does not preserve the formatting of the CWWP, but the content was now discoverable with Spotlight.  Since I was primarily concerned with the content, I would consider the conversion effort successful enough.
    I performed the same sort of process on the iMac with CWSS documents converting from AW6 into Numbers.  Here the results were less successful.  I discovered that many of the converted spreadsheets had cells where the cell contained the last calculated value in substitute for the formula originally present -or- Numbers was unable to open the CWSS spreadsheet due to size limitations.  Neither problem occurs when the file is converted on the MBA by Appleworks into an Excel format.  For those CWSS files that did not properly convert to Numbers, I would like to perform a conversion to Excel.
    When a given spreadsheet is manually opened on the MBA with either version of Appleworks, one can “Save as” using several formats of Excel.  That operation will preserve the formula which cannot be recognized in Numbers’09. An example of this issue is when a spreadsheet has a cell that contains a formula with the function “ISNUMBER”.  When I manually open a CWSS in Appleworks (either 6.2 version), I can Save As Excel Win 97 … or Excel Mac 98 … creating an XLS file that preserves the formula.
    I have attempted two techniques with Applescript to be able to convert my CWSS documents into XLS format.  Neither seem to work.
    The first technique is very similar to a few lines extracted from a canned script found on http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=8296 the relevant code is:
    set theSprTranslator to "Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
    tell application "System Events" to set mfpath to get path of disk item ("~/desktop/" as string)
    set newfile to (mfpath & "AWV6" as string)
    set NewFilename to AWV6XLS
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
        activate
        open newFile -- alias reference is ok
        save using translator theSprTranslator with NewFilename and replace
        close front document without saving
    end tell
    When this did not work, I attempted a scripted GUI solution as a second option.  The GUI code I had found at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17348326/applescript-to-save-an-appleworks-do cument-wont-compile-end-tell-vs-end-easy is:
    tell application "System Events"
             tell process "AppleWorks"
                     click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
                     click menu button "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
                     click menu item "Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet" of menu 1 of menu button  "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
                     keystroke return
             end tell
    end tell
    Unfortunately there is no “File Format” menu button, after a bit of further research, I discovered UI Browser and wrote my own Applescript equivalent:
    set mytempwork1 to AWV6
    set theSprTranslator to “Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr”
    tell application "Finder" to open file (mytempwork1 as string) of the desktop
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "AppleWorks"
            click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
            tell text field 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
                set value to "XX" & mytempwork1
            end tell
            click pop up button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
            click menu item theSprTranslator
            —click radio button 2 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
            —delay 3
            —click radio button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
        end tell
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "AppleWorks"
            delay 10 — <<<<<IF YOU CLICK ON THE BUTTON WHILE IN THIS DELAY, THE SCRIPT WILL BEHAVE PROPERLY
            click button "Save" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
            delay 1
        end tell
    end tell
    This GUI script behaves almost as I would like.  It seems to ignore the setting of the “pop up button 1” unless I actually intervene while the script is running and I click on the button.  When I do so, the script runs as intended.
    Is there a way to force Appleworks to recognize the Applescripted value of the “clicked” menu item?

    Hello
    As far as I know, there's no need to resort to GUI scripting. The problem in exporting in AppleScript is that AppleWorks 6 only accepts typeChar (TEXT) data as translator name while AppleScript string has become always being represented as typeUnicodeText (utxt) since OS X 10.5. This makes passing translator name to save command difficult but there's a workaround method as shown in the sample code below. The |TEXT|() handler does the job. Tested with AppleWorks 6.2.4 under 10.6.8.
    main()
    on main()
        set export_translator to "Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
            "Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet"
            "Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
            "Excel Win 5 spreadsheet"
            "Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
        set export_translator_TEXT to my |TEXT|(export_translator)
        set src to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "in.cwk"
        set dst to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "out.xls"
        set srca to src as POSIX file as alias
        set dsta to touch(dst) as POSIX file as alias
        tell application "AppleWorks 6"
            --return export translators
            open srca
            tell document 1
                if document kind = spreadsheet document then
                    save in dsta using translator export_translator_TEXT
                end if
                close saving no
            end tell
        end tell
    end main
    on touch(f)
        do shell script "touch " & f's quoted form
        return f
    end touch
    on |TEXT|(u)
            string u : source text
            return data : «data TEXT...» representing u converted to MACROMAN encoding
        do shell script "u=" & u's quoted form & "; printf '%s' \"$u\" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t MACROMAN | xxd -p"
        run (run script "
    script
        «data TEXT" & result & "»
    end script")
    end |TEXT|

  • How do I convert from PAL to NTSC in compressor?

    I have a project I converted from mp4 file to Apple Pro Res to edit it in FCP.  I exported using Compressor and tried to import the files to DVD Studio Pro.  It said it can't put PAL files into an NTSC project.  I didn't even realize it was filmed in PAL (yes, I have the rights to use the footage).  How do I convert the files from PAL to put it into FCP...in Compressor?  If so, how?  Thanks for any help!

    To  convert the 25fps PAL file to a 29.97fps file staying within the ProRes codec:

  • Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View Error

    I have CR 2008 report with SP1. The report has a sub report. The main report is based off of a BV but the sub report is using an ODBC connection. When I try to update the ODBC connection I recieve an error message telling me that:
    Quote:
    "Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported."
    I am do not want to update the BusinessView just the ODBC connection for the subreport.

    Hi Michael,
    When you try to update both the Business views and ODBC connection you will be  prompted for  those errors.
    You need to break the link  in the report and update the connections individually.
    Thanks,
    Naveen.

  • Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connectio

    I have a report on our Crystal Reports Server that I need to move to a machine with Crystal Reports XI installed and no connection to the Business Objects Server.
    When I create an ODBC connection pointing to the same table and then try to use Set Datasource Location to Update the Data Source I get an errormessage:
    Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported.
    What can I do? It is a complex report that I don't want to take the time and energy to rewrite.
    Thank You for any answers.
