Failover Clustering 1069

Hi,
We are on windows 2008 R2 running SQL Server 2012. We have two node cluster.
My databases are not coming up and when I check through Failover Cluster manager, Network,Disk resources are online
but SQL Server (DBNAME) fails and when I check in event log, i get below message. Even I tried to failover to second node
still i am getting same message. Please suggest.
Cluster resource 'SQL Server (ABB)' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (ABB)' failed.
Event 1069 FailoverClustering
Please suggest
Bilal

Hi Bilal,
Based on your description, the 1069 error is a general cluster error. To troubleshoot this issue, other than checking SQL Server ErrorLog file, you can examine the cluster log to identify why the cluster resource fails. You can generate a cluster log
via the command: cluster log /g. This will generate a cluster.log file in the C:\Windows\Cluster\Reports folder. 
There is also an online article about event id 1069 for your reference.

  • Advice Requested - High Availability WITHOUT Failover Clustering

    We're creating an entirely new Hyper-V virtualized environment on Server 2012 R2.  My question is:  Can we accomplish high availability WITHOUT using failover clustering?
    So, I don't really have anything AGAINST failover clustering, and we will happily use it if it's the right solution for us, but to be honest, we really don't want ANYTHING to happen automatically when it comes to failover.  Here's what I mean:
    In this new environment, we have architected 2 identical, very capable Hyper-V physical hosts, each of which will run several VMs comprising the equivalent of a scaled-back version of our entire environment.  In other words, there is at least a domain
    controller, multiple web servers, and a (mirrored/HA/AlwaysOn) SQL Server 2012 VM running on each host, along with a few other miscellaneous one-off worker-bee VMs doing things like system monitoring.  The SQL Server VM on each host has about 75% of the
    physical memory resources dedicated to it (for performance reasons).  We need pretty much the full horsepower of both machines up and going at all times under normal conditions.
    So now, to high availability.  The standard approach is to use failover clustering, but I am concerned that if these hosts are clustered, we'll have the equivalent of just 50% hardware capacity going at all times, with full failover in place of course
    (we are using an iSCSI SAN for storage).
    BUT, if these hosts are NOT clustered, and one of them is suddenly switched off, experiences some kind of catastrophic failure, or simply needs to be rebooted while applying WSUS patches, the SQL Server HA will fail over (so all databases will remain up
    and going on the surviving VM), and the environment would continue functioning at somewhat reduced capacity until the failed host is restarted.  With this approach, it seems to me that we would be running at 100% for the most part, and running at 50%
    or so only in the event of a major failure, rather than running at 50% ALL the time.
    Of course, in the event of a catastrophic failure, I'm also thinking that the one-off worker-bee VMs could be replicated to the alternate host so they could be started on the surviving host if needed during a long-term outage.
    So basically, I am very interested in the thoughts of others with experience regarding taking this approach to Hyper-V architecture, as it seems as if failover clustering is almost a given when it comes to best practices and high availability.  I guess
    I'm looking for validation on my thinking.
    So what do you think?  What am I missing or forgetting?  What will we LOSE if we go with a NON-clustered high-availability environment as I've described it?
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

    Udo -
    Yes your responses are very helpful.
    Can we use the built-in Server 2012 iSCSI Target Server role to convert the local RAID disks into an iSCSI LUN that the VMs could access?  Or can that not run on the same physical box as the Hyper-V host?  I guess if the physical box goes down
    the LUN would go down anyway, huh?  Or can I cluster that role (iSCSI target) as well?  If not, do you have any other specific product suggestions I can research, or do I just end up wasting this 12TB of local disk storage?
    - Morgan
    That's a bad idea. First of all Microsoft iSCSI target is slow (it's non-cached @ server side). So if you really decided to use dedicated hardware for storage (maybe you do have a reason I don't know...) and if you're fine with your storage being a single
    point of failure (OK, maybe your RTOs and RPOs are fair enough) then at least use SMB share. SMB at least does cache I/O on both client and server sides and also you can use Storage Spaces as a back end of it (non-clustered) so read "write back flash cache
    for cheap". See:
    What's new in iSCSI target with Windows Server 2012 R2
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn305893.aspx
    Improved optimization to allow disk-level caching
    Updated
    iSCSI Target Server now sets the disk cache bypass flag on a hosting disk I/O, through Force Unit Access (FUA), only when the issuing initiator explicitly requests it. This change can potentially improve performance.
    Previously, iSCSI Target Server would always set the disk cache bypass flag on all I/O’s. System cache bypass functionality remains unchanged in iSCSI Target Server; for instance, the file system cache on the target server is always bypassed.
    Yes you can cluster iSCSI target from Microsoft but a) it would be SLOW as there would be only active-passive I/O model (no real use from MPIO between multiple hosts) and b) that would require a shared storage for Windows Cluster. What for? Scenario was
    usable with a) there was no virtual FC so guest VM cluster could not use FC LUs and b) there was no shared VHDX so SAS could not be used for guest VM cluster as well. Now both are present so scenario is useless: just export your existing shared storage without
    any Microsoft iSCSI target and you'll be happy. For references see:

    Storage options
    The following tables lists the storage types that you can use to provide shared storage for a guest cluster.
    Storage Type
    Description
    Shared virtual hard disk
    New in Windows Server 2012 R2, you can configure multiple virtual machines to connect to and use a single virtual hard disk (.vhdx) file. Each virtual machine can access the virtual hard disk just like servers
    would connect to the same LUN in a storage area network (SAN). For more information, see Deploy a Guest Cluster Using a Shared Virtual Hard Disk.
    Virtual Fibre Channel
    Introduced in Windows Server 2012, virtual Fibre Channel enables you to connect virtual machines to LUNs on a Fibre Channel SAN. For more information, see Hyper-V
    Virtual Fibre Channel Overview.
    iSCSI
    The iSCSI initiator inside a virtual machine enables you to connect over the network to an iSCSI target. For more information, see iSCSI
    Target Block Storage Overviewand the blog post Introduction of iSCSI Target in Windows
    Server 2012.
    Storage requirements depend on the clustered roles that run on the cluster. Most clustered roles use clustered storage, where the storage is available on any cluster node that runs a clustered
    role. Examples of clustered storage include Physical Disk resources and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). Some roles do not require storage that is managed by the cluster. For example, you can configure Microsoft SQL Server to use availability groups that replicate
    the data between nodes. Other clustered roles may use Server Message Block (SMB) shares or Network File System (NFS) shares as data stores that any cluster node can access.
    Sure you can use third-party software to replicate 12TB of your storage between just a pair of nodes to create a fully fault-tolerant cluster. See (there's also a free offering):

  • Hyper-v Failover clustering for SQL Server lab

    Hi,
    After 20yrs years of IT software experience, now I am realizing that I don't know much about hyperV clustering. :) I am trying to setup a lab. I badly need help on configuring network adapters
    to make the machines accessible from each other. Please see details below:
    I have a laptop with 8gb ram with windows 8.1 hyper-V. I created 4 VMs with Windows 2008r2 on it and further I intend having SQL Server Failover Clustering. VM details are as below:
    DC - Domain Controller
    SanStorage - MS iSCSI target
    Win1 - Primary node in the cluster that will have SQL Server instance
    Win2 - Secondary node in the cluster that will have SQL Server instance.
    The laptop has 1 Qualcomm network adapter (generally used for connecting Lan cable) and a Broadcomm (wifi) adapter. I intend setting up three virtual adapters
    First for regular communication
    Second for Data (SQL Server Data to be stored on SCSI)
    Third for HeartBit
    Normally, (on my laptop) I connect to internet using Broadcomm (Wi-Fi) and want to ensure that whenever needed:
    Run this lab even when Lan or wifi is NOT connected. If one of them is mandatory then even that could be the option.
    I should be able to use internet within all VMs as well- though this is good to have requirement.
    Internet needs to be available on laptop at least. Even if it is unavailable in VMs that is ok.
    Now the actual problem.
    I DON'T KNOW how many virtual internal/external/private switches to be
    defined and assigned to individual VMs. What should be the IPs, Subnets, DNS, Gateways defined on those?
    I was able to setup the stuff up-to certain extend and then it stopped working for unknown reasons. I have VMs ready. Next what should I do? Steps...
    setup network adapters in each VM
    setup DNS on DC
    Add remaining 3 VMs in domain
    Define Win1 and Win2 as cluster
    Configure Target
    Configure initiators and access the target
    e. Install SQL Server
    Is above correct?
    My queries probably demands a separate article. But I have already referred many articles and couldn't figure it out so posting it here. I sincerely request your help!
    PS – Even after disabling firewall (with and without having DNS setup) I am unable to ping VMs from each other.
    Regards,
    ThingToLearn
    Thanks, Pravin

    Hi,
    You need create another guest vm as the NAT device, attach the NAT external to the Wifi adapter or cable adapter, then you can set all your vms in internal network
    vswitch.

  • Data Guard Broker and Cold Failover clusters

    Hi,
    I wanted to use Data Guard Broker to control primary/standby systems on AIX clusters but found that without Oracle clusterware it is not supported on failover of a database to another node (unless you drop and recreate the configuration which in my opinion is not support at all!).
    The 11g documentation states that DG Broker offers support for single instance databases configured for HA using Oracle Clusterware and "cold failover clusters".
    Does anyone know whether this support for cold failover clusters in 11g means "proper support" i.e the configuration detects that the hostname has changed and automatically renames it so it continues to work?, or is the support in 11g the same as that in 10g?.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi Jan,
    We already use virtual hostnames.
    When I set up the configuration the hostname for the databases default to the server name. The only way I know of changing this is to disable the configuration, then use the "edit database...set property" command but when I enable the configuration again it reverts back to its previous value.
    regards,
    Andy

  • Failover clustering Hyper-V + load balancing

    I have successfully setup a number of Hyper-V (5) on Server 2008 R2 fail-over cluster environment with two nodes connected to a SAN using MS iSCSI Target 3.3 with cluster shared volume and all is working well.
    Now each Hyper-v is run by node-A or node-B. is there a way to have both nodes process all Hyper-Vs at once? 
    Mike

    Yes you are right I was not using the proper term. I have Hyper-V installed on both nodes and added the Hyper-V service in the Fail-over Clustering service. I can run the VMs on either nodes and distribute the 5 VMs but instead of selecting which node to
    run each VM I would like to run all 5 VMs in one environment where both servers (nodes) can manage the processes of all 5 VMs. In other words each server have 64GB RAM and 16 core CPUs, I would like to have my 5 VMs processed by 128GBRAM and 32 core CPU. My
    understanding is I am looking at Load balancing, I have seen how to do this with a web application but couldn't find anything on Load Balancing VMs.
    You need to configure CSV on top of shared LUN, put your VM images there and run VMs on every host having access to LUN / CSV. See:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd630633(v=ws.10).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610692.aspx
    Load balancing is another thing, you can use Live Migration to move VMs from one host to another (no downtime). See:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/iftekhar/archive/2010/01/18/microsoft-virtualization-hyper-v-live-migration-network-configuration.aspx
    You can configure HA so one VM would re-boot on another node if primary host is down (minimal downtime). See:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2011/04/18/creating-ha-vms-for-hyper-v-with-failover-clustering-using-free-microsoft-iscsi-target-3-3.aspx
    You can configure guest VM cluster so VM would transparently failover to another host if primary one is down (no downtime). See:

  • Hyper-V Failover Clustering MAC Address Question

    Hello,
    Can someone please explain how MAC address assignment works in a hyper-v cluster? I have a couple machines that need to have a static MAC address assigned and want to know how the cluster handles it when the VM is Live migrated to a new host. Thanks in advance.

    Hi ice2921,
    Yes, after export and import to another Hyper-V host, the dynamic MAC address of the VM changes
      after export and import to another Hyper-V host, the dynamic MAC address of the VM changes, this is by design.
    As Alexey offered article, to have a dedicated Mac Address for the VMs they should be set to static MAC address, it is normal the dynamic assign to vm when the all the Hyper-v
    host as there own MAC address range , this is by design of Hyper V and failover clustering when using Dynamic MAC addresses for VMs.
    If you are using 2008R2 Hyper-V failover and you found it often lost the network connection and configuration, please install the hotfix.
    Reinstalled the integration services

  • 3 Node hyper-V 2012 R2 Failover Clustering with Storage spaces on one of the Hyper-V hosts

    Hi,
    We have 3x Dell R720s with 5x 600GB 3.5 15K SAS and 128 GB RAM each. Was wondering if I could setup a Fail-over Hyper-V 2012 R2 Clustering with these 3 with the shared storage for the CSV being provided by one of the Hyper-V hosts with storage spaces installed
    (Is storage spaces supported on Hyper-V?) Or I can use a 2-Node Failover clustering and the third one as a standalone Hyper-V or Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V and storage spaces.  
    Each Server comes with QP 1G and a DP10G nics so that I can dedicate the 10G nics for iSCSI
    Dont have a SAN or a 10G switch so it would be a crossover cable connection between the servers.
    Most of the VMs would be Non-HA. Exchange 2010, Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 would be the only VMS running as HA-VMs. CSV for the Hyper-V Failover cluster would be provided by the storage spaces.

    I thought I was tying to do just that with 8x600 GB RAID-10 using the H/W RAID controller (on the 3rd Server) and creating CSVs out of that space so as to provide better storage performance for the HA-VMs.
    1. Storage Server : 8x 600GB RAID-10 (For CSVs to house all HA-VMs running on the other 2 Servers) It may also run some local VMs that have very little disk I/O
    2. Hyper-V-1 : Will act has primary HYPER-V hopst for 2x Exchange and Database Server HA-VMs (the VMDXs would be stored on the Storage Servers CSVs on top of the 8x600GB RAID-10). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1 
    3. Hyper-V-2 : Will act as a Hyper-V host when the above HA-VMs fail-over to this one (when HYPER-V-1 is down for any reason). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1 
    The single point of failure for the HA-VMs (non HA-VMs are non-HA so its OK if they are down for some time) is the Storage Server. The Exchange servers here are DAG peers to the Exchange Servers at the head office so in case the storage server mainboard
    goes down (disk failure is mitigated using RAID, other components such as RAM, mainboard may still go but their % failure is relatively low) the local exchange servers would be down but exchange clients will still be able to do their email related tasks using
    the HO Exchange servers.
    Also they are under 4hr mission critical support including entire server replacement within the 4 hour period. 
    If you're OK with your shared storage being a single point of failure then sure you can proceed the way you've listed. However you'll still route all VM-related I/O over Ethernet which is obviously slower then running VMs from DAS (with or without virtual SAN
    LUN-to-LUN replication layer) as DAS has higher bandwidth and smaller latency. Also with your scenario you exclude one host from your hypervisor cluster so running VMs on a pair of hosts instead of three would give you much worse performance and resilience:
    with 1 from 3 physical hosts lost cluster would be still operable and with 1 from 2 lost all VMs booted on a single node could give you inadequate performance. So make sure your hosts would be insanely underprovisioned as every single node should be able to
    handle ALL workload in case of disaster. Good luck and happy clustering :)

  • Failover Clustering between two zones in a single node?

    In Solaris 10 node, I have two non-global zone (sparse root). I want to create failover clustering between two zones for a specific application. I have created two small zone and installed sun cluster 3.2 in global zone. After that what I need to complete the rest of job. Please help me.

    It is mandatory to configure IPMP, but if you check your network configuration it should have been done already, but you are free to change the configuration.
    I assume you booted the node after executing scinstall so the cluster should be up and running, check that with cluster status.
    Now you have to create a resource group with the zones in its nodelist
    clrg create -n <nodename>:<zone1>,<nodename>:<zone2> group-name
    create your logical host in this resource group
    clrslh create -g group-name <alias name>
    Alias name is a name /etc/host like appaddr
    online your resource group
    clrg online -eM group-name
    Now you have an ip failover between the two zones.
    Regarding the other details, I do not know what you are planning to do, so I need more information here regarding storage application and so on.

  • Can I remotely failover clusters with powershell from a non clustered server? Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello,
    I'm trying to remotely administer my windows clusters and fail them over with a PowerShell Script.  The server I'm using is not a clustered server.  I've already installed the Failover Clustering Tools.  I'm able to retrieve information about
    my clusters but when I try to fail them over I receive an error saying "The cluster service is not running."
    The command I'm using is 'Get-ClusterNode $Server | Get-ClusterGroup | Move-ClusterGroup'
    Error message:  'Get-ClusterNode : The cluster service is not running.  Make sure that the service is running on all nodes in the cluster'
    Is there a way to install the cluster service or is there a different way to go around this error?
    Thank you!

    Hi Armando,
    To get cluster node information, please try to use the cmd cluster.exe, like:

  • SCCM 2007 Distribution Point Share on a Failover Clustered File Server.

    Is SCCM 2007 Distribution Point Share supported on a Windows 2008 R2 Failover Clustered File Server? I can get the packages to copy to the DP Share. But if I create them on a non clustered server it works fine. Are there any special settings that need top
    be configured for clustered shares?
    Thanks,
    Steve
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    As far as I know this scenario is not supported scenario, In Windows Server® 2008 R2, the Cluster Shared Volumes feature included in failover clustering is only supported for
    use with the Hyper-V server role.
    The creation, reproduction, and storage of files on Cluster Shared Volumes that were not created for the Hyper-V role, including any user or application data stored under the
    ClusterStorage folder of the system drive on every node, are not supported and may result in unpredictable behavior, including data corruption or data loss on these shared volumes. Only files that are created for the Hyper-V role can be stored on Cluster Shared
    Volumes. An example of a file type that is created for the Hyper-V role is a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) file.

  • Alter IP address of SQL Server AlwaysOn Failover clustering Iistener

    Hi,
    Is there a possibility to change the IP address of SQL Server AlwaysOn Failover clustering Listener IP address without deleting the exiting one and also retaining the same DNS name.
    NOTE: Only the IP address needs to be altered rest all (DNS, port) should remain the same.
    Regards

    Hi Karthikkk,
    As your description, you want to modify the listener IP address in AlwaysOn availability group without changing other settings including DNS and port. To achieve this, you could modify a listener IP address on primary replica using the following statement:
    ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP group_name
    MODIFY LISTENER ‘dns_name’
    ADD IP { (‘four_part_ipv4_address’,  ‘four_part_ipv4_mask’) | (‘dns_nameipv6_address’) }

  • Windows 2008 failover clustering fails with Event ID 1205 1069 1558

    I have a two nodes Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 cluster running in active\passive.  I was restarting
    my nodes after applying windows update then I received the following error message below within Failover Cluster Manager. I get errors with Event ID 1205 1069 1558  this happens every month ..  Could someone help me on to find the root cause for
    this issue how to check if it is an issue with network or Quorum drive  ?

    First, take a look at the 1069 event. This should point out which resource is failing. 
    Then, open a command prompt and run the command: cluster log /g
    This will generate a cluster.log file that you can use to further troubleshoot this issue. The log file will be located in the C:\Windows\Cluster\Reports folder.
    The cluster.log will be based on GMT time, so you may need to translate this to the local time zone in order to find the events you are looking for. Look for ERR or WARN messages and these should hopefully give you more insight as to why the resource is
    failing.
    Hope this helps.
