MS SQL Server 2008 Metro Cluster with same subnet

Hi All,
I want to setup SQL 2008 Active / Passive Cluster for OCS 2007 between two Data centers, Both DCs are same location which building 1(DC1) and building 2(DC2).
I am planning to use Hyper-V cluster between two DCs and then create SQL 2008 VMs then  create another windows 2008 with SQL clusters.
For the above solution, I need to use ISCSI based EMC VNX-e storages on both DCs and do the replication.
Is there any other better solution to perform? Please help me to provide more infromation.

Hi,
Additional, we recommend that your clustered servers be member servers. If they are, you need an additional server that acts as the domain controller in the domain that contains
your failover cluster.

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with SP2: 'SQLEXPRESS'-instance installation fails while any other instance name installation succeeds.

    We supply our software package that also includes the unattended installation (with /QS and so on) of SQL Server R2 Express (with SP2).
    The setup works good in about 99.9% cases, but one customer complained that after the "successful SQL Sever installation (at least, it looked so!) he could not open the supplied database getting some strange error messages...
    After some months of trial-n-error attempts we are now able to reproduce the problems this custumer had. But we cannot find the reason of the problem.
    So the test computer is a virtual machine with Windows 7 + sp1 32-bit.
    Among the programs/tools installed on this machine there were (in the following order):
    SQL Server 2008 Express - the default SQLEXPRESS instance
    SSMS
    VS 2010 Pro (German)
    SQL Server 2008 Express R2 (with SP 1 or SP2 - ?) - the default SQLEXPRESS instance
    Then some of them were uninstalled in the following order:
    SQL Server 2008 Express
    SSMS
    SQL Server 2008 Express R2 
    Now we tried to install (in normal mode with UI) the SQL Server 2008 Express R2 with SP2.
    When we chose the default SQLEXPRESS instance - it failed with the following info:
    Configuration status: Failed: see details below
    Configuration error code: 0x7FCCE689
    Configuration error description: External component has thrown an exception.
    and the Detail.txt file contained the following:

    When we chose some other instance name then the installation has completed successfully.
    So the questions are:
    What could be the reason of the problem (and only for SQLEXPRESS instance that was earlier installed and then uninstalled)? I will provide the complete Detail.txt file if needed. 
    How could we check (if we could) the conditions so some name would be allowed as an instance name for SQL Server installer to success?
    With the best regards,
    Victor
    Victor Nijegorodov

    Thank you Lydia!
    Unfortunately the simple check the registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL does /did not work in our case since there is no any instance
    name there,
    However there seem to be some "rudiments" under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
    So I will now try to check the subkeys of these two keys as it was mentioned by Xiao-Min Tan.

  • Error on setup failover cluster with Windows 2008 R2 enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 (also with SP1)

    Hi!
    The setup process fails with this error:
      Configuration error code:     
    0x1C2074D8@1216@1
      Configuration error description: There was an error setting private property 'VirtualServerName' to value 'CLUSTER02' for resource 'SQL Server'.  Error: Value does not fall within the expected range.
    I have found some hints by google, but nothing really helpfull.
    Has anyone had a simular problem when installing SQL server 2008 R2?
    All posts I found are about sql server 2008 (no R2!).
    The cluster itself is working (storage, network, msdtc, quorum...).
    Any hints?

    Hi Andreas Plachy,
    Please make sure that the Virtual Server Name ‘CLUSTER02’ is unique on the network. In addition, are there any resources named ‘SQL Server’ on the Windows cluster? If that is the case, you may need to rename the related resources to avoid conflicting with
    SQL Server, and try again.

  • Update SQL Server 2008 R2 CLUSTER To SP1 With TFS 2010

    Hi,
    I have Cluster SQL Server 2008 R2 configured to store  Team Foundation Server 2010 DBs
    I want to Update this Cluster to SP1 to support Sharepoint DBs 
    So i want to see if this update can impact my TFS DBs 
    Thnx
    vote if you think useful

    Hello,
    I which way is this "Database Design" related, the Topic of this forum?
    You can install the SP 1 without any harm to your TFS 2010 database; we host them on SQL Server 2012 and also this work.
    But instead of the old SP1 you should go with the last SP 3 for SQL Server 2008 R2.

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Std with SQL Server 2005 Express Subscriptions

    If we have SQL Server 2005 Express Merge Replication Subscriptions that synch to a SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition. Do
    the Subscriptions still have same file size limitations even though they synch to a Proper Standard Version of SQL Server 2008?
    If so what are these limitations?
    What happens in the instance where by the server file becomes huge then the Subscriptions will not allow the data to replicate
    as the Express Subscription engine has a file size limitation - or does this not matter??

    You will get messages on your SQL Server Express  servers that the merge agent cannot write to the SQL Express database. These messages are difficult to debug as you don't get a warning you have exceeded the size limit on the subscriber.

    The instance came up successfully and seems to be operating normally. Was there an error or was the KB installed correctly as the result of the windows update process indicated? 
    Is there a way I can verify this? 

    I did some research on this particular KB article and it seems to be related to Master Data Services which I am not using.  The KB was pushed automatically and I am not sure that it was a required update in our situation. I'd like to understand exactly
    what caused the error message before initiating a repair as this is a production and not a test environment.  Everything appears to be functioning properly and I have received direction from Microsoft in the past that information in some logs identified
    as level 'error' are in fact to be ignored.  I checked the windows update and this KB shows 'Successful' rather than failed or cancelled.
    I would also like more information on why sql server services should not be stopped prior to allowing the OS patches to be applied.   I have received messages in the past that stopping the services before service packs are applied
    prevent the necessity for a reboot of the machine.  I've never heard before that it is a best practice not to stop Sql service prior to applying patches.  Once the services are stopped, I have our infrastructure admin start a VM snapshot on
    the machine then kick off the windows update process. When done, I reboot the machine, test out Sql Server processes and then if all goes well give the ok to release the VM snapshot.  I've supported various databases for 12 years, Sql Server for 5
    years and this is the first time I've heard stopping the service manually can cause problems.  If that is the case, I will certainly change how I do things....

  • B1 with SQL Server 2008 and SEC with SQL Server 2005

    Hi,
    we are currently upgrading from B1 2005 to B1 2007. With B1 2007 we could use MS SQL Server 2008. In parallel we have a SEC implementation (which uses SQL Server 2005).
    Would there be any issues with the integration of B1 and SEC although they run on with different SQL Server products?
    Thanks
    Olaf

    Hi
    By creating two different instances you can run both simultaneouly. But pls do check whether SEC will run on 2008 or not ?

  • SQL Server 2008 Express Installation with command line options , FAILED.

    HI,
    I Have SQL Server 2005 Express instances on my PC. Now i am trying to install 2008 Express edition with Advance Services(Reporting.)
    I am trying to install the SQL Server 2008 Express with command line Options.
    /qs /Action=Install /Hideconsole /SecurityMode=SQL /Features=SQL,Tools,RS /InstanceName=XXXXXX /SAPWD="StrongPassword" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Builtin\Administrators" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /RSSVCACCOUNT="NT
    AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /TCPENABLED=1 /NPENABLED=1
    But installation exits. It says the previous version 2005 tool are already exists, Remove them to Continue the 2008 Server Installation.
    please suggest me how to avoid that check and continue installation by replacing the older tool with 2008 automatically.
    regards 
    Pratap M:)

    Have you found any error in event logs?
    In my case even after uninstalling all 2005 related components it didn't worked. I had to resort to a brute force way and
    remove following registry keys
    32 Bit OS: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90
    64 Bit OS: HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90

  • Connet sql server 2008 to java with sqljdbc

    I'm trying to connect sql server 2008 with java and I tired to read from microsft documentation and other internet sites to do it and always get an mistake. I used sqljdb, sqljdb4, sqljdb4.1 and any
    the most simple codec is:
     public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
            try {
                String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost.\\SQLEXPRESS:1433;" +
                "databaseName=hackeadorazodb;user=hacker;password=;integratedSecurity=true";
                Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
                if(con != null){
                    System.out.println("exito");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println("error: "+e.toString());

       
    Hi hackeadorazo,
    Could you please post the full error message?
    From your description, it seems that you are connecting to a named SQL Server instance locally.
    Firstly, please make sure the following things.
        1. SQL Server is running in SQL Server Configuration Manager (SSCM)
        2. TCP/IP is enabled in SSCM.
        3. SQL Server is listening on port 1433. Right-click "TCP/IP" in SSCM > SQL Server Network Configuration > Protocols for SQLEXPRESS, then choose "Properties" and click "IP Addresses" tab, you
    can check the port from “IPAll/TCP Port”.
    Secondly, if you use current Windows user account (Windows authentication) to log on SQL Server, the
    connection URL should be as follows.
    String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\\SQLEXPRESS:1433;" + "databaseName=hackeadorazodb;integratedSecurity=true";
    If you use a SQL Server account (SQL Server authentication) to
    log on SQL Server. You need to specify username and password in the
    connection URL as follows. In addition, please make sure that SQL Server is configured as “SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode “in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and the login ‘hacker’ exists in SQL Server Instance>Security>Login.
    String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\\SQLEXPRESS:1433;" + "databaseName=hackeadorazodb;user=hacker;password=<Password>";
    For more details, you can review the following blogs.

  • OGG-00868 SQL Server 2008 has problem with ODBC in  the EXTRACT process

    Hello Everyone
    I want to replicate tables between MS SQLServer 2008 and Oracle 10g
    I have Windows XP / MS SQLServer 2008 and Oracle Database 10g R 10.2.0.1.0 running  on Red Hat Linux
    I followed the steps from the white paper (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/datawarehouse/oracle-sqlserver-goldengate-460262.html)
    and Installed Oracle Golden Gate Version 11.2.1.0.1 (for Linux) and the  Version 11.2.1.0.1 32bits (for Windows XP)
    I followed all steps of the white paper without problem and I could do the initial load in
    the Oracle Database from SQL Server sucessfully.
    But when I tried to set and start the Extract process from SQL SERVER
    a error was generated in the file c:\gg\dirrpt\MSEXT.rpt and the process is ABENDING

    Yes, I had created a Data Source  HR Driver= SQL Server (second Tab System DSN) and I also had tried with
    the driver SQL Server Native Client 10.0 but I faced the same error.
    The database by default is EMP
    Below is my configuration

    Then I went to Database Properties (Right Click) /Oprtion  and Recovery model field has Full value
    I also made a Backup (Backup Type = Full)
    The Backups was made to Disk:  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\EMP.bak
    Today I repeated the same steps and I got the same error (I Copied at the end):
    I also have the follow question:

  • Applying Service Pack on multiple instance SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster and Standalone.

    Friends,
    Its my first time I am applying Service pack to both Standalone and Clustered SQL 2008 R2 servers. I have multiple instances running on both stand alone and Clustered environment. I don't know how to apply pack with multiple instances. Do I need to apply
    the service pack each instance one by one or I can just run the pack to each node of cluster and each box of stand alone server? Will I get any multi instance selection option during the installation process so that I can select multiple instances at once??

    When installing service pack for multiple instances in a standalone machine, you just run the installer and it lists all the instances eligible for the update. You could do it one by one or do it at the same time. Doing it at the same time saves time and
    energy. If you selected multiple instances then you dont have to do anything else.
    In case of cluster, if you have multiple instances then you need to be little careful.
    Eg: Assume you have a 2 node cluster Node 1 and Node 2. Two instances Instance 1 active on Node 1 and Instance 2 active on Node 2. What I would do in this case is to first failover any one instance to the passive node. Assume I failed over Instance 2 to
    Node 1. Now Node 1 is active node for both instance 1 and instance 2 and Node 2 is passive for both instances. At this point I run the service pack on Node 2. Once patching is done, I reboot the node and then failover the instaces one by one to Node
    2. At this point both instances 1 and 2 would get upgraded and will be active in Node2. Now Node 1 is passive and so run the update there. Once the service pack is installed, reboot and then fail back Instance 1 back to Node 1. Note: I would also failover
    Instance 2 to Node 1 just to confirm that failover works completely after service pack update.

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard - Compatibility issues with Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hello,
    We used as a test a box on which we installed Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition. No Service pack was installed. It worked perfect.
    Now we try to do it on another box and all of the sudden there is compatibility issue when we try to instal SQL Server. We can still install SQL Server by clicking "Continue without getting help".
    Where can this come from? If it is hardware related what are the thing I should look at?
    Thanks all

    Hello,
    Adding to Shanky suggestion, you can perform a slipstream installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 + SP3 to make SQL Server
    2008 R2 compatible with the newer operating system, as explained on the following post.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/petersad/archive/2011/07/13/how-to-slipstream-sql-server-2008-r2-and-a-sql-server-2008-r2-service-pack-1-sp1.aspx
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/955392/
    Hope this helps.
