How do install a service pack on log shipping database

 How do i install a service pack on log shipped database whethe on primary or secondary
 could any one please provide the detailed step by step procedure .
 Help apprecited

Hello Shanky,
I recommend the secondary first, based on the following criteria:
“Always upgrade the secondary server instance first. If the primary server were upgraded before a secondary server, log shipping would
fail because a backup created on a newer version of SQL Server cannot be restored on an older version of SQL Server”.
Source:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645954.aspx
Less downtime could be another benefit of applying SP on the secondary first. You can apply to the secondary first, then failover, then
apply to new secondary server (once the primary server).
But I know another way to do it is applying the service pack on the secondary and the primary without failing over.
The following resources recommend the secondary first too:

  • How to tell what Service Pack is installed?

    Hello, can anyone tell me how to determine what service pack is installed on my computer?  I am running Crystal Reports XI Release 2 .NET 2005 Server.
    Thanks in advance!
    Tim

    Hello Kultar, this did not work for me but something that I did find to work was a registry setting.  The setting is:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Report Application Server\Viewer
    The subkey is PrintControlVersion which should have a value of "11,5,10,1263"
    Best regards,

  • Sync Problems After Installing Vista Service Pack 1

    I just installed Vista service pack 1. Hotsync ceased to work. So, after checking Palm online help, I downloaded and installed Desktop 6.2 and Hotsync 7. The instructions said not to uninstall my previous version of Desktop 4.2 and Hotsync 6.01. After completing the installation, I find that my data had not been moved to the new location and that some Hotsync items had changed such as Quick Intall to Install. And, I still can't Hotsync. So, here's a series of questions:
    How can I get my data over to Desktop 6.2?
    Do I want to move the data over or should I reinstall Desktop 4.2? (I use an XP machine to print my schedule and usually simply copy the user folder from the Vista system to the XP system. There's no Vista print driver available for my hp printer.)
    Is Palm trying to become Microsoft by changing where they store information to the confusion of a power user?
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Post relates to: Palm Vx

    The version 6.2 of Palm desktop does not support your Vx.
    Click here for the support page for 6.2; http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html
    The only handhelds supported are Palm TX, Z22; Tungsten E2.
    You will need to install the version that is on the CD that came with the Vx. You will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop on the Vista PC in order to re-install the older version of Palm desktop.
    First thing to consider is, where is the current data. On the device or in the PC?
    If you have the data in Palm desktop 6.2, do an export of the data for backup. After the re-install of the older palm desktop, import the data for each category. Since you are still using the XP PC and has data on that system, you can export the data from that PC.
    In Vista, the userfolder is in documents-palm os desktop. One caveat here, the data format in the 6.2 user folder is not compatible with the data format in earlier versions of Palm desktop so you cannot copy and paste the entire user folder into the older version of Palm desktop.
    Here is a procedure for backing up your data.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
    To do the "clean" uninstall on the Vista PC, here are the instructions.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
    Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
    copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
    Disregard the first step above because your data is on the XP PC and we are just going to import the data. 
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop from your computer.
    Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
    C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
    PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
    *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
    into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
    hide hidden files.
    Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
    from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
    Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
    Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
    but if they are delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer.
    Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
    you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
    did not sync before create a hotsync name.

  • Installed windows service pack and now can't see igoogle content

    I recently installed a service pack for Office 32bit on my Sony Vaio. Now I cannot see any of my page content on Igoogle, or certain features on Ebay. I checked my popup filter, and even turned it off, and that didn't help.

    The updater's now built into iTunes, which came with a new version of the iPod's required background service, rendering all previous updaters void.
    To get to the updater, go to the iPod in the sources panel (left-hand side), and you should see the Update and Restore buttons.

  • Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod

    Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod.
    Windows does but Itunes doesn't.
    The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    I have gone through the 5 Rs and the troubleshooters and the problem persists.
    Any ideas?

    Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod. Windows does but Itunes doesn't. The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    Have a look in your Device manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage" and click "Device Manager".)
    Is Device Manager (in the right hand pane of the Window) completely blank?
    If so, see the following Microsoft document for troubleshooting advice:
    Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
    (When you get your Device Manager displaying correctly again, iTunes should stop giving you the "iPod Service Module" crash.)

  • New install - Do I install all Service Packs & Fix Packs

    Hi.
    I just installed Engage 2008 to replace my 4.5 version.  I see there is 1 service pack and 3 fix pack versions available.  Should I be installing all 4 of these or just the service pack and the most recent fix pack?  Please advise.
    Thanks!

    Hi Janice,
    First, check your help / about in Xcelsius 2008.  What is the build number?  Depending on what it ends with will help determine what route to take.
    -If it ends in 121, then run the Service Pack 1 installer.  The installer will replace your existing install with Service Pack 1, which will then yield the build number ending in 247.  From here you can install Fix Pack 1.
    -If it ends in 247, then you can just go ahead and install Fix Pack1. 
    In both cases, after Fix Pack 1 is installed, the end result should yield build version 12,1,1,344.
    Hope that helps,
    -david

  • How to upgrade the service packs

    Hi experts,
    I have one doubt about upgration of the service packs.How to upgrate one sevice pack to another one . Is there any  process to this.
    please let me know the things.
    Regards
    babu

    hi
    You need to first download the service packs for the particular product from the service market place. Service packs offer solution to the bugs in the product which was released earlier. So each version may have inturn have many service packs released.
    First of all before upgrade you need to know which version and service pack you are right now. Then accordingly you can download the desired files by giving the target SP and current SP. There are suitable upgradation documents available in market place reading upon which you can install Portal or WAS.
