Installing Remote Blob Storage (RBS) Provider on Active/Passive cluster

We are implementing RBS for our SharePoint farm and have successfully got it installed and working for all Content Databases.
I've read a dozen or so guides but none of them cover installing on a clustered SQL environment and I need to install the RBS provider on the passive node but cant see any guides that mention it although its stated Clustering is supported.
Can anyone tell the correct way to install it on the passive node?

Hi Dr_Sanchez,
According to
this blog, it is supported to install remote blob storage provider on SQL Server active passive cluster. You could follow the installation steps in that blog. If you get an error like this:
Cannot use file 'c:\Blobstore' for clustered server. Only formatted files on which the cluster resource of the server has a dependency can be used. Either the disk resource containing the file is not present in the cluster group or the cluster resource of
the Sql Server does not have a dependency on it.
Then please replace 'c:\Blobstore' with the volume\directory which resides in the same group in the Cluster Administrator as the SQL Server resources.
Regards,
Michelle Li

Remote Blob Storage Install - APPCOMPAT: no matching ProductCode found in database.

I am trying to install Remote Blob Storage in Sharepoint Server 2013 with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, but it is not creating the table in the database.
Here is my script
msiexec /qn /lvx* rbs_install_log.txt /i RBS.msi TRUSTSERVERCERTIFICATE=true FILEGROUP=PRIMARY DBNAME="WSS_Content_Blob_001" DBINSTANCE="SHAREPOINT" FILESTREAMFILEGROUP=RBSFilestreamProvider FILESTREAMSTORENAME=FilestreamProvider_1

APPCOMPAT: looking for appcompat database entry with ProductCode '{56D21E05-679B-40F2-94C1-DB0D7EB2E461}
My SQL server version is 10.50.6000.34
In the log file I found the following lines in the bottom of the file, but the table is not in the content database.
Product: SQL Server 2008 R2 Remote Blob Store -- Configuration completed successfully.
I am struggling with this issue for long. It would be great if someone could help.

Hi stecorp75,
To troubleshoot above error, please make sure the following things.
1. Use the RBS.msi file on this link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16978.
Do not download the rbs_x64 link given in TechNet article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748631.aspx .
2. Ensure that you run command prompt as administrator and then run your commands for RBS installation.
3. Follow the steps in this similar
blog to install RBS on SharePoint 2013.
However, if you still fail to install Remote Blob Storage, I would like to recommend you post the question in the SharePoint 2013 forum at
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=sharepointadmin . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Sharepoint 2010 - how to move content database when RBS (remote blob storage) is enabled

Good day.
I have two Sharepoint Server 2010 instances - test and production.
i've turned on RBS(remote blob storage) on test. In future i want to copy content database from prod to test. What should i do, if RBS is not enabled on production?
And second question. After RBS is on, all new files moves to external storage. I want to move to ext storage files, that already exists in my content DB. I found that i need to create second filestreamprovider
and execute Migrate() for new provider. Can i do this for first provider without creating second?

Why dont you plan to use Site backup then instead of database backup
In your case you will have to restore the backup to a RBS enabled SQL server. Then remove RBS from that database.

Planning System Center Operation Manager 2012 R2 on SQL 2012 Active/Passive Cluster

Dears,
I'm planning to deploy System Center Operation Manager 2012 R2 on SQL 2012 Active/Passive Cluster which have other sql instances running for other applications. And i'm planning to create a new instance for SCOM, kindly provide me recommendation
whether i can install all sql databases for SCOM on same sql instance or does it require separate instances for opsmanger database , dw database and ACS database?
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Yes, all SCOM SQL databases can run on the same instance of SQL server.
As well, look at some helpful posts for the topic:

Active - Passive Cluster

Hey, I have to manage an active passive cluster on SLES10 SP4. Oracle 10.2.0.4
All oracle binaries are on a DRBD Device on mountpoint /oradata.
This mountpoint includes the binaries and all datafiles.
I havent installed these systems. At one stage on node died and got reinstalled by a systemadministrator.
After a switch from the running node to the standby node, the cluster is not starting.
Jan 3 14:36:01 a logger: Cluster Ready Services waiting on dependencies. Diagnostics in /tmp/crsctl.6114.
Jan 3 14:36:14 a logger: Waiting for Oracle CSS service to be available before starting
Jan 3 14:36:14 a logger: ASM instance +ASM. Wait 2.
After issung $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add the cluster is starting, the asm instance is coming up, and also the database instance is starting.
Shortly after that the db instance dies. Alertlog is showing something like recursive sql error.
Looks like writing to the datafiles is not working.
In asmcmd the diskgroups are showing DISMOUNTED (show MOUNTED before)
so what to do ?
a) Why is it necessary to issue "localconfig add" to make the cluster starting ?
b) What could be a reason for not being able to write to the database ?
c) How would you guys install an active/passive cluster ?
c1) Install OS on both nodes
c2) Install oracle binaries
c2.1) on both nodes in the local files system and do the mapping to the drbd afterwards?
c2.2) only on one node and just switch the mountpoint ?
Chris

Hi,
first of all please clarify, if you have Oracle clusterware installed, or just the local configuration for local ASM.
There is a big difference between the 2, and also using DRBD has nothing to do with Oracle clusterware (and is not supported by Oracle).
a.) Localconfig may be necessary for a local ASM installation in 10.2. Main reason is, that the CSS service configuraton includes the hostname (which changed if you switched nodes). Hence may not be able to start ASM. With localconfig you are fixing this issue.
Very important: It is not a good idea to run this is a cluster configuration, since it will break things (a lot of things).
b.) If the ASM diskgroup got dismouned, then the database cannot write. Hence your problem. Why the diskgroup dismounted, you should find in the ASM alert.log
c.) I would go for RAC One Node. Which has this all preconfigured. So it makes life easier. Search for "RAC One Node" on OTN for more information. At least I would take a manual cluster, and do mirroring by ASM, and not DRBD....
c1.) Yes install Oracle cluster (or Grid infrastucture in 11.2) on both nodes. Like a RAC.
c2) Install database software on both nodes locally.
c2.1) No. No DRDB.
c2.2) Both nodes. Same installation.

Drop Database in Active/Passive Cluster

Hi,
database is 10.2.0.4 on RHEL AS 4. Database is using ASM for the storage of physical files. This database is part of Active Passive cluster.
Can you please guide me as how can I drop this database and also remove the entry from cluster.
Thanks

For dropping the database, using the DBCA is the best approach. After the removal, use the command srvctl to remove the entries from the OCR.

I have searched a lot about installation of Active / Passive Cluster installation in Oracle on Linux, neverthless nowehere I found it.
Can anyone help me to install it or send me any documentation about it from start to end.

Hi,
if you are talking to a High Availability feature in OAS 11g then check the following document.

Veritas Active/Passive cluster knowledge

Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience of Veritas Active/Passive cluster skills that they could share with me.

Veritas active/passive cluster is very easy to use. I am not sure about linux but I guess even for linux there are having gui interface which is very user friendly. Its like cluster will use common storage and one node will be configured as active other as passive in case any failure occurs at node1 automaticly node2 will become active.

[b]Managing Active/Passive Cluster.[/b]

Hi,
We are having active passive cluster
environment and we are running webMethods on
it.
The problem we are having is whenever we do
any changes we need to do a failover and then
do the same task on the passive one as well.
Can anybody help how to make this thing
automatic so that we deploy any package/fixes
on webmethods and should get replicated on
the passive one.
Thanks,
Amit.

If you are manipulating data-files, that do not affect the Application (in this case webmethods) then simply use the cluster console, which allows you to perform updates on multiple hosts at the same time.
Alternatively if you are making changes to the application itself then, does the application management software ( I am not that familier with webmethods) not allow you to distribute changes across an application domain, ie. using the application tools and not the underlying cluster framework.

3 Node ASA active/passive Cluster possible ?

Hi,
we operate an active/passive cluster with 2 ASA5510 in Routed Mode.
Is it possible to add another node, so that we have one active and two standby nodes in the cluster?
Unfortunately, I have found no documentation on this .... The data sheet say only up to 10 nodes can be mentioned as a VPN load balancing cluster.
best regards
Andreas

For failover you cannot implement more than two ASAs as a cluster. Either for Active/Standby or Active/Active solutions

Configuring Active-Passive cluster for Oracle Database on Red hat

Can I configure the red hat cluster suite to implement an Active-Passive Oracle Service without configuring GFS Volume manager?
In other words, I want to install Oracle Standard Edition for Red hat on 2 node separately. Subsequently I am creating an Oracle Instance on the firsth node whith Oracle datafile, redologfile, controlfile,initfile on a SAN Storage. Subsequently I want to configure red hat cluster suite to start the Oracle Instance on the second node when the the firsth node fail. Only one node at time have the Oracle Instance up. Does this configuration works correctly or I have to install and configure any software to manage shared storage file system(like GFS Volume Manager or OCFS, ASM ecc.)?
Thanks

This scenario is usually done through custom scripts.
To get an idea of what is required, I recommend you look through Oracle's DataGuard documentation, as Data Guard is a free utility included in the Enterprise Edition to do exactly what you want.
(Having spent a lot less money to buy the less expensive product, you now have the opportunity to spend more in programmer and maintenance costs to create your own solution.)

Non-domain user authentication against SSAS on Active/Passive Cluster

Hello,
We have an Active/Passive SQL Server setup (DB1 & DB2 Servers) connected to a cluster for SQL & SSAS. I have a web server not on the same domain that I am trying to authenticate with SSAS. This works OK if I set the website to impersonate
myUser and I add local account myUser as an Admin on SSAS for the active server (DB1). But when this fails over to DB2 then it fails to authenticate. SSAS won't allow us to add myUser as an admin for local accounts on both DB1 & DB2 as it errors
adding the second one. Could anyone advise how such a scenario should be approached?
We have tried creating a domain user too which DB1 & DB2 can of course both share but I don't think the web server can impersonate this with being not part of the domain.
Thanks.

Hi Jcorker,
According to your description, you need to access the SQL Serve Analysis Services database which is configured as cluster for SQL & SSAS from another domain, right?
In SSAS we can use the solution below achieve the requirement.
1.Create new domain account and impersonate the web site with that.
2.Create local user account on the analysis service with same exact username/password as like domain account created in the previous step.
However, you cannot create a local account with the same name on both servers. I have tested it on my local environemnt, we can create the same local account with the same name on both servers. In your scenario, if DB1 and DB2 on different server, you can
create a local account with the same name on both servers. Please post the detail errors, so that we can make further analysis.
Besides, SSAS only allows users of the same domain or trusted domains and it does not allow users from any domain except from these two. You can configure the trust relationship between the domains.

MSSQL2012 active/passive cluster convert to active/active cluster

Good day.
We have 2-node active/passive MSSQL2012 cluster (on Win 2008 R2). One "default" instance.
We want convert to active-active, (multi-instance).
As I understand, one SQL instance (existing) will run on 1 cluster node and the second (new) instance on the 2 cluster node.
I have some questions:
- we have cluster virtual name and ip address for existing MSSQL instance, for the second MSSQL instance we need to create another name and ip ?
- for second MSSQL instance we can create 2 separate cluster disks (for DB and LOGS) ?
- for second MSSQL instance we can create another DTC instance and bind it to the second MSSQL instance ?
- we can use existing physical LAN connectors on our servers (data and heartbeat) or we need to add new LAN adaptors ?
- quorum disk is the same for all instances ?
Sorry for my bad English.

I have some questions:
- we have cluster virtual name and ip address for existing MSSQL instance, for the second MSSQL instance we need to create another name and ip ?
Yes that would be required.
- for second MSSQL instance we can create 2 separate cluster disks (for DB and LOGS) ?
Yes it will be in different resource group and you can have different disk for them.
- for second MSSQL instance we can create another DTC instance and bind it to the second MSSQL instance ?
Same MSDTC can be used for multiple instance.

- we can use existing physical LAN connectors on our servers (data and heartbeat) or we need to add new LAN adaptors ?
Best to ask network team
- quorum disk is the same for all instances ?
Quorum is for windows cluster not for SQL server so Yes its same for all instances
Sorry for my bad English.

Sharepoint 2013 RBS (remote blob storage) issue - Clustered datatbase

I have configured and enabled RBS on the CLUSTERED content database as per the following article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748631(v=office.15).aspx#enableRBS
However, I need to clarify the following as it is different from an article to another: 1- Do I have to install the RBS.msi file on the sql server? or just the web servers in the farm? 2- After installing and configuring everything as per the article mentioned
above, sharepoint still stores documents in the content database and not in the blob folder. Anyone has any clue on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks and your help is much appreciated
