DPM 2012 R2 protecting a SQL 2008 Cluster/Vss Writer problems on SQL Server

Hola,
I am running DPM 2012 R2 rollup 4. My Server OS is 2012 Datacenter. I have a SQL 2008 Active/Passive cluster and MS support has kicked this to the SQL team for review. OK hear we go ..When I run the vssadmin list writer I do see the SQL Writer. Also
says no errors. When I run diskshadow /l c:a.txt from an admin command prompt the output does show the SQL Writer information but under that should display all the meta data for each connection to the database so DPM can expand the SQL database to
be chosen for protection. I am already confused.
I am going to include a snippet from the vssadmin and the diskshadow command:
vssadmin list writers:
Writer name: 'SqlServerWriter'
   Writer Id: {a65faa63-5ea8-4ebc-9dbd-a0c4db26912a}
   Writer Instance Id: {8d773b6f-0196-4c34-9943-f258f99c2d9a}
   State: [1] Stable
   Last error: No error
Diskshadow /l c:a.txt
* WRITER "SqlServerWriter"
  - Writer ID   = {a65faa63-5ea8-4ebc-9dbd-a0c4db26912a}
  - Writer instance ID = {8d773b6f-0196-4c34-9943-f258f99c2d9a}
  - Supports restore events = TRUE
  - Writer restore conditions = VSS_WRE_ALWAYS
  - Restore method = VSS_RME_RESTORE_IF_CAN_REPLACE
  - Requires reboot after restore = FALSE
  - Excluded files:
* WRITER "BITS Writer"
  - Writer ID   = {4969d978-be47-48b0-b100-f328f07ac1e0}
  - Writer instance ID = {5ad5c4f7-5f68-4c1d-a4fc-92d5ef898881}
  - Supports restore events = TRUE
  - Writer restore conditions = VSS_WRE_UNDEFINED
  - Restore method = VSS_RME_UNDEFINED
  - Requires reboot after restore = FALSE
  - Excluded files:
   - Exclude: Path = C:\Windows\System32, Filespec = bits.log
   - Exclude: Path = C:\Windows\System32, Filespec = bits.bak
   - Exclude: Path = C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Net
As you can see this did not return the expected results. I should see the meta data for each database. This is why DPM can't list the databases for backup in my 2008 production SQL cluster. Any thoughts? This has not been working for quite sometime. I was
hoping the update to rollup 4 would have fixed the problem. I know this is a SQL problem but has anyone had this experience?
Thanks
Steve J.

Update:
Uninstalled SQL Server instance and downloaded SQL Server 2012 SP1 image from link in error message. It takes you to the download page for the express edition of SQL Server 2012. I downloaded the SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU file and used it to re-install
the SQL Server instance.
Ultimately I had to use the ISO image to upgrade the instance to Standard because the SQL Server Agent will not run under the express edition and caused the DPM install to fail.
The DPM installation then completed successfully and after immediately went to Windows Update and SQL Server 2012 SP2 was installed.
Evidently you cannot start with SP2 until the installation is complete.

ColdFusion 9 Fails after SQL 2008 Cluster Failover

All,
I have a ColdFusion 9 app server that seems to be failing when my SQL 2008 cluster fails over to the passive node. By failing, my IIS server does not respond to any .cfm requests about 4-5 minutes after the failover. It serves out static and .asp pages just fine. Restarting ColdFusion server service and rebooting the server itself does not fix the problem. The only fix is to fail the SQL cluster back to the original node.
Specs are as follows:
SQL - SQL 2008 SP1 64-bit active/passive cluster VM
CF - CF9 running on Windows 2008 SP2 64-bit VM
Erick

Problem solved. We had a linked server defined in SQL that pointed to an Oracle instance. We could successfully run the "Test Connection" in SQL Management Studio for the linked server when our SQL 2008 cluster was on node 1. However, we got an "OraOLEDBpus10.dll: The specified module could not be found" error message when trying to test the connection when the cluster was on node 2. The fix was to add the Oracle folder path to the Windows PATH environment variable on node 2. The Oracle installer is supposed to do this automatically, so we don't know why it was missing.
The reason CF would become unresponsive was that we had a template with a query that used the linked server. The purpose of this template was to monitor the status of the linked server. Using CF Server Monitor, we were able to see active requests to that template which would keep running and not terminate even though we set a timeout value in CF Admin.

DPM 2012 SP1 - Protecting Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 at the same time

Hi,
From which Exchange Server am I commited to copy the ESEUTIL.exe and ESE.dll to the DPM Directory for protecting the whole Exchange databases from both products (2010 and 2013) ?
Thanks for replies.
Regards
Phil

The visual c++ libraries actually need to be installed on the Exchange 2013 server.
To protect Exchange 2013 with DPM SP1, in addition to copying the ese.dll
and eseutil.exe files to the DPM
bin folder, you also need to install the
Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 1(vcredist) on your Exchange server. You can download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/ details.aspx?id=30679
Installing vcredist on your Exchange server loads components of Visual C++ libraries. The Visual C++ libraries are needed when an application that was developed using Visual Studio 2012
is installed on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2012 installed. Without Visual Studio 2012 or the Visual C++ libraries, you will run into errors trying to protect Exchange 2013.
Let us know if it works after doing this.
NOTE: The Exchange 2013 ese.dll and eseutil.exe files will cover Exchange 2010 also.

DPM 2012 R2 fails to back up one of two disks on file server

Good day! I've built a new DPM 2012 R2 server and migrated or re-created jobs from my older 2012 SP1
DPM servers as trying to upgrade them was not working out. The DPM R2 server is running great besides this one issue. The problem is with a file and print server at a remote office. Since it has around 750 GB of user data on it I chose to do manual replica
creation on the data disk, (E:) but created the C:\ drive replica normally, over the WAN. The manual replica creation was successful, and the initial consistency check and recovery point creation worked as expected, however, since then it will not create another
RP or run a CC on the E:\ drive. Recovery points on the C:\ drive are being created properly. When I try to run a CC I get this error: "An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: Access is denied (0x80070005))" I've
tried to drop protection on the two directories of the E:\ drive (retaining data) and re-create, but that didn't help. I've even done a recovery from the initial RP to verify that it was created properly, and that worked as well.

Open command prompt on target file and print server, change directory to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Temp> and run below command
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Temp>find /i "[0x80070005]"

Cannot see new SQL 2008 R2 Express instance on Small Business Server 2011!

Hi,
As it is stated on the subject line, I'm having a problem after I did a new install of SQL 2008 R2 Express and put a new instance on SBS 2011.
I'm developing a new program using SQL 2008 in C# and VB.Net. I have SQL 2008 R2 Express installed on my computer called "MSQL8R2EDATA" on my PC. Now I need to deploy it on SBS 2011 so I can do some testing on other workstations.
I'm currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, and it's named STEVE-PC. The SBS 2011 is named SERVER1, and it's 64 bit as well.
After installation on SERVER1 (SBS 2011), I then fired up SQL Server Configuration Manager and enabled Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA.
After I've completed the SQL Configuration on SERVER1, I went back on my PC (STEVE-PC) and I tried to use Management Studio to connect to the new instance MSQL8R2EDATA on SBS 2011, only problem is, I only see the computer name, not the new instance
I've installed.
Back on SBS 2011 (SERVER1), I've verified that all the protocols are enabled, and the SQL Server Browser is automatically loaded and currently running, as well the MSQL8R2EDATA instance is automatically loaded and running, yet I still cannot see
it from my PC (STEVE-PC). I even switched from dynamic ports to a static port of 64719 (that was what the MSQL8R2EDATA was listening on that port when it was dynamic), and then added new rules to the Windows Firewall for program of the SQLSERVR.EXE, and
for UDP and TCP for port 64719 to "Allow All Connections" for Domain, Private, and Public; yet I still cannot connect SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA. I even disabled the firewall and then trying to connect once again to SBS 2001 and it still fails.
In case you're wondering, I left it on port 64719 since there are other active SQL Servers on SBS 2011 (SharePoint, SBSMonitoring, and ACT7).
Interestingly, when I run Management Studio on SBS 2011, I can see STEVE-PC\MSQL8R2EDATA and I'm able to log in and connect to it.
So what's going on here?!? Why am I able to connect to STEVE-PC which is Windows 7 64 from SBS 2011 (SERVER1), but I cannot connect from my computer to that instance on SBS 2011??
I really could use some big time help on this.
EDIT: Sorry for the confusion, but on the Windows Firewall (WF.msc), I did add new rules for incoming connections on:
Program incoming connections to SQLSERVR.EXE
TCP Port 64719
UDP Port 64719
EDIT: To further assist, I have Management Studio installed on the SBS 2011, and I can locally log in and connect to the MSQL8R2DATA on SERVER1 with success. I even tried tcp:SERVER1\MSQL8R2DATA and again it is successful log-in and connection.
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Hi,
Thanks for the response, but I have a question:
Installing SQL Express or SQL Server is not recommended on SBS
2011 because it is a DC, however technically it will work.
I'm a newbie when it comes to SBS 2011 and I'm taking a crash course on the subject. Can you explain to me what you mean by "DC"? Also, why
isn't recommended to install a new instance on SBS 2011?
As I also stated, I've added "New Rules" to the Windows Firewall to allow incoming connections on port 64719 for both TCP and UDP, and I also allowed incoming connections for SQLSERVR.EXE but no joy to connect to the SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA.
And yes, I can log-in and connect locally on SERVER1 using Management Studio with success. I even used tcp:SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA with the same success. It's my workstation STEVE-PC that fails. If that fails, then the rest of the workstations are going to fail.
Are you suggesting that I put the SQL Server 2008 Express on another workstation and just allow to to be
accessed that way?

SQL 2008 R2 SSRS Security Problems

Hello,
We have SSRS running on SQL 2008 R2, using a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Server. When we setup Systems users and also roles such as Browser all that goes through. The issue is, the security does not take effect on the system.
For example <domainuser>\<domainuser> can login to the site and traverse ANY folders, even ones that have folder security set, not inheritening permissions. I've came to realize it seems the Windows Group "Users" applies to who can
get into the server. If we do not have domain users or specific logins in the Windows group you just keep getting a popup for login going to the main SSRS home.
I do not the behavior concerning windows group by design but at any rate adding all domain users we then perceive the folder and site settings apply to folders and report access on the Report manager. It does not simply work. Any users can get into
the admin folder (Which has only 3-4 people with access) and run anything. It is as if the SSRS permissions simply do not work. I've tried using a server account and also Network Service (Which it is set to now).
Has anyone ran into this issue and have any ideas how to resolve it? I understand the BROWSER role has access to "View Folders" but I see no granular other than folder and item permissions being set to not allow specific folders to be accessed.
I appreciate your time,
KT

Hi KT,
Per my understanding that you have set the security in the report server but the some of the user still get some extra permission, right?
Generally, Reporting Services uses role-based security to grant user access to a report server, and there are two types of roles:
Item-level roles and System-level roles.
By default, Reporting Services has assigned both System Administrator roles (System-level) and the Content Manager role (Item-level) to the BUILTIN\Administrators group. So, the user that is in the local administrators group will
perform the role as ”Content Manager” without extra settings, you can check if the users who have extra permissions was in this group，if the domain user in this group, please try to remove it and add it in the Local Users and Groups other
then Administrators group :
You have menioned that the user shouldn't have permission to the Admin folder but now they have access.
Please check the security of the admin folder to make sure the users were not in the list of the groups and users as below:
If the issue still exists, please check all the folder one by one to make sure this is not any inheried problem and re-set the security.

DPM 2012 R2 CU4 protecting SQL 2014 AlwaysOn AG with Failover Cluster vs. DR location

Hello!
We have a problem protecting any Database of SQL 2014 AlwaysOn Availability Group with SQL Failover Cluster Instance when moved to DR location. Everything is protected using DPM 2012 R2 CU4 from Primary location.
FACTS
- all servers are Windows Server 2012 R2
- all servers are Virtual (except Hyper-V hosts obviously:)
- that means virtualization is based on Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V
- all clusters (SQL, Exchange,...) are Guest Clusters on Hyper-V
- SQL 2014
- DPM 2012 R2 CU4
- Primary and DR location
SETUP
SQL
- Primary location: SQL 2014 Guest Cluster with SQL Failover Cluster Instance using Shared VHDX disks
- DR location: SQL 2014 Standalone using VHDX disks
- AlwaysOn Availability Group expands between the primary and DR location.
DPM
- Primary location: DPM 2012 R2 CU4
- DPM 2012 R2 CU4 Agents installed on every possible SQL 2014 Server.
SCENARIO
- DPM is backing up all the SQL Databases normally as long as they exist on any SQL Cluster Node on Primary location.
- As soon as any Database is moved to DR location, that Database is not backed up anymore with the following error.
DPM ERROR
Starting synchronization on SqlServerName\DatabaseName failed:
Error 104: An unexpected error occurred while the job was running.
Error details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Tried to modify SQL Protection Group in DPM Server while Database was active on DR location
> error enumerating volumes or drives D:\, E:\, F:\ (I don't have exact error atm)
> this looks like DPM is not aware that DPM is active on DR location to me
- Checked Technet, blogs and forums; no useful information
QUESTION
Is this expected or by-design behavior? Is this a bug? I am aware there were quite some issues backing up AG's from DPM 2012 SP1 ans SQL 2012 on.
Does anybody have a lab of that kind to try it out?
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Damjan Grimšič
Lpd

OK. The issue has been resolved. Issue was related to possible Disks Owners in Failover Cluster Manager Console for SQL Cluster.
In Primary's site SQL Cluster Failover Manager Console / Storage / Disks.
SQL Server(s) from Secondary location need(s) to be unchecked as Possible owner(s) in Advanced Policies for all relevant Volumes.

DPM 2012 R2 UR4 and BMR backup from physical 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS)

Hi,
I'm completely lost.
We updated from DPM2010 (2008 R2) to DPM 2012 R2 RU4 (2012 R2).
Clean install. Same hardware. Everything went quite smoothly.
Our new (and also old did the same thing) DMP protects some Hyper-V guest on our 2008 R2 Hyper-V cluster, one Exchange (2010) DB's and SQL 2008 R2 DB's and one physical server - 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS ~160GB of data).
Currently we are using some Buffalo Terastation's III (TS-RIXL) iSCSI SAN storage to hold our DPM protected data.
Configured as RAID 5.
Our new DPM server is connected to those iSCSI devices using built in MS iSCSI initiator via secondary NIC on this server using dedicated iSCSI subnet.
Everything seems to be fine unitil System State and BMR (I'v checked both) runs.
Basically my iSCSI NIC shows Write about ~170Mbit/s and Read about 520Mbit/s when backing up virtual machines, Exchange or SQL.
When it comes to System State and BMR backup the trouhgput is MUCH slower (about 65Mbit/s) and I can not figure out why. I understand that the BMR backup initiates direct writing to the DPM created and shared replica volume on my iSCSI NAS (my wording
might be not correct but basically I understand how this works). But I don't understand why the speed is so much slower. I'v tried everything, googeled around, changed NIC drivers, firmware etc. No luck.
If I just copy some big ISO file from/to server to DPM or vice versa the speed is arount 100MB/s (as reported by windows itself). So it seems to able to utilize full network speed. But why this backup is so slow? I'm excpecting to see speed about ~170Mbit/s
because it corresponds my iSCSI Write speed as seen when backing up hyper-v guests and DB's..
What I'm doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated :)
rgds Sven

Hi Sven,
Sometimes BMR is slower than backing up virtual machines (VHDs). If there is a free local disk, please test to do a backup locally to see the speed. From your description a common backup works much faster so let's see if it is the backup speed which causes
the issue or not.

Win 2012 R2 VM on Win 2008 R2 FOC is backed up with Saved State instead of Snapshot by DPM

I've posted this question a couple of months ago
in another forum, but haven't resolved the issue yet. I'm hoping this post could help me troubleshoot this problem once again.
My question is as follows (copied from previous thread):
All my Windows 2012 R2 VMs (that run on a 3-node Windows 2008 R2 Fail-over cluster) are backed up by DPM 2012 R2 (also on Windows 2008 R2) using Saved State instead of Child Partition Snapshot. I've checked the list below (twice), but didn't find anything applicable
to these VMs.
Backup (Volume Snapshot) Integration Service is disabled or not installed.
The virtual machine has one or more dynamic disks.
The virtual machine has one or more non-NTFS based volumes.
The virtual machine Cluster Resource Group in a cluster setup is offline.
The virtual machine is not in a running state.
A ShadowStorage assignment of a volume inside the virtual machine is explicitly set to a different volume other than itself.
An App-V drive is installed on the virtual machine that creates a non-NTFS volume.
I've set the registry setting SystemRestore\ScopeSnapshots to 0 for each VM, and checked the current state with the diskshadow tool (to make sure it wasn't just an erronous datasource text in DPM).
Some more information:
all Windows 2008 R2 servers on this cluster are backed up by DPM using Child Partition Snapshot
all VMs (VHDs) are located on an HP Lefthand SAN
I'll appreciate any pointers in finding the root cause of this problem!

Hi CameO73,
I'm afraid it is not supported to online backup 2012R2 VM on 2008R2 hyper-v (it is still not supported to install 2012R2 VM on 2008R2 hyper-v host ).
I have seen a workaround of backing up 2012VM on 2008R2 hyper-v , but not for 2012R2 :

Upgrade FIM 2010 R2 Sp1 Databases from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012

Hi,
I want to upgrade my SQL from 2008 R2 to SQL 2012.
FIM Databases
1) FIMService Database
2) FIMSynchronizationService Database
Mentioned above are my FIM databases running on SQL server 2008 R2 . Now I was looking for some article which could tell me if SQL can be upgraded without affecting my existing databases of FIM or if i can move these databases to a new server having SQL
2012
Activity I want to perform : Create a fresh Server of SQL 2012 and move my FIM 2010 databases over it by restoring the backups. but as per the link below it seems not possible!
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5465.fimilm-how-to-move-the-backend-sql-server-synchronization-service-database.aspx

Hi Shivam,
Please take a look here: Release Notes for Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 SP1.
In the table you have tasks to upgrade SQL for FIMService and FIMSych.
FIM Service:
Upgrade FIM Service servers to FIM 2010 R2 SP1
Stop FIM Service on all servers
Backup Database [in case rollback needed]
Upgrade SQL to SQL Server 2012
Start FIM Service on all servers
FIM Synch:
Upgrade FIM Sync to FIM 2010 R2 SP1
Stop FIM Sync
Backup Database [in case rollback needed]
Upgrade SQL to SQL Server 2012
Start FIM Sync
If you are not making in-place upgrade, I would do something like here:
Stop FIM Services
Backup the databases at SQL 2008
Restore backed up databases on SQL 2012
Make sure SQL Agent Jobs are moved (FIMService)
Make sure Broker is enabled on FIMService database
On FIM machines create SQL alias using cliconfg utility. Alias should have the name of "old(sql2008) SQL" and point to new name/instance.
Start FIM Services - they would use "old" name to connect, but it would be translated to new location. So they would start.

How do I install SQL Management Objects for SQL 2008 on a 2 node cluster?

Hi,
One of the software we use needs the SMO to be installed. This is on a SQL 2008 2 node cluster. In the control-panel, I do NOT see this installed, and I see the client tools SDK installed and I even did a repair of it. I still do not see it.
Can some one please help me with SMO install on this 2 node SQL 2008 cluster? I could not find a working link to install this.
Thanks!
Suresh.
Suresh Channamraju

Hi Suresh,
According to your descriptIon, you need to install SMO on two nodes of SQL 2008 cluster, right?
If you want to develop an application that uses SQL Server Management Objects (SMO), you should select the Client Tools SDK when you install SQL Server. To install the Client TooLs SDK without installing SQL Server, install Shared Management Objects from
the SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6375
By default, the SMO assemblies are installed in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies\ directory.

Server0 starts very slowly in PI 7.11 in Win 2008 / SQL 2008 MSCS config

Hi all.
I have a problem in our newly installed PI 7.11 system on Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL 2008 MSCS setup. The J2EE application server on the node where the SCS is running, takes about 1 hour to start. About 20 minutes after starting, it goes from starting framework to starting apps, and then remains in that status for another 40-50 minutes. I am unable to find anything in the log files that can explain this behaviour. The J2EE app server on the second cluster nodes starts within 5-6 minutes. If I fail over the SAP Cluster Group to the second node, the situation is reversed.
We are using the latest 7.11 kernel and the latest available SPS.
Has anyone experiences something similar?
Regards,
Thomas

Hi.
Thanks for your input!
I found this document [Process Integration (PI) Performance Check - Analyzing Performance Problems and Possible Solution Strategies|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0b96675-87cf-2c10-b489-dee0ac03f782?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].
I also remembered having read somewhere that the VMC should be turned off for PI. So I set the parameter vmcj/enable = off. If this really did the trick or not, I cannot guarantee, but now my server0 processes starts normally.

Thomas

In place upgrade Windows 2008 and SQL 2008

Hi all,
We are planning to upgrade to Windows 2012 and SQL 2012 , can we take this in-place upgrade path in the following order ?
Setup 1 Host with 2 VM's running Windows 2008 R2 on Host and Windows 2008 R2/sqL 2008 on VM's.
1. Host1(running 2 VM's) - In-place upgrade windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2
2. VM1 on host1 - In place upgrade windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2
3. VM2 on host1 - In place upgrade windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2 (AD Server)
4. SQL running VM1 - In place upgrade SQL 2008 with DB/reporting services to SQL 2012 DB/reporting services
All Servers ( including Host and VM's) are stand alone in a workgroup setup.( except one VM a stand alone AD server by itself).
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
If you want migrate from windows 2008r2 to windows 2012r2, you must install windows server 2008r2 sp1.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303416.aspx
For the host 1 upgrade, please refer to the following:
http://blog.powerbiz.net.au/server-2012/in-place-upgrade-from-windows-server-2008-r2-to-windows-server-2012/
For the SQL in-place upgrade, i think you may need to ask in SQL forums:
