Server 2012 cluster repair option

Hello
Can anyone tell me what a repair actually does to an offline cluster? I cannot find it in technet or msdn.
Thanks

Hello, Tim, sure thing.
I have a two node Windows 2012 server cluster. A few SQL installs are nested in it. I am having some issues and from inside Failover Cluster Manager under the Cluster Core Resources when I right click the name of the cluster and go to "More Actions"
there's a greyed out "Repair" option. I know to use the repair option I have to stop the cluster.
I want to know what the repair option actually does. I cannot find any documentation on it anywhere.
The issues that I have are two fold, first the local "cliuser" account on each node password is trying to reset itself, when it is setup for never change and never expire when I view the properties in the local user. Secondly in my Cluster event viewer
my resources are seeing errors for DNS "the handle is invalid". My DNS is server 2003. I've already applied hotfix 2838043 to both nodes.

Does a sql server client application needs to be modified to allow it to have benefits of running on a SQL Server 2012 cluster?

I have a client application in c++ which interacts with sql server database. My question is whether I need to make any changes to the client application code to allow it to have the benefits of running on a SQL server 2012 cluster environment.
To elaborate more on my query my concern is for e.g if my application has called an api to execute a sql query and during
the execution of this query the sql server (part of the cluster) goes down then as per my understanding the sql cluster would ensure that another node takes up the task from the current sql server which has gone down. Is this transition transparent to the
client application or in such a case my client application needs to again make a new connection and again execute the query?

Hello,
Just as Shanky post above, When you connected to a database in an availability group and specify the availability group listener in the connection string, if the availability group fails over, the original connection is broken, your application
should try a new connection after the failover.
So, when connect to an availability group, please try to increasing connection timeout and implementing connection retry logic to increase the probability of successful connection.

SQL Server 2012 Cluster

I'm fairly certain these servers do not have the WIT installed; I will double check.
I definitely need the cluster to pass validation so I am hoping to get this fixed in the next day or two. What is the Nimble WIT, and why do I need it? (I don't mange the Nimble storage, so I'm not familiar with all the bits and pieces that go with it).

Hi All,I am building a Server 2012 R2 / SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster using Nimble Storage as the shared storage for the SQL Server's data.One of my cohorts set up the iSCSI volume for me and checked the multi-initiator option.I can mount the iSCSI drive on Server 1 with no problems. Take it offline, and mount it on Server 2, again, no problems. If I skip the cluster validation and assign that storage to a role, the System will always mount on Server 1, but if I move it to Server 2, it fails every time (only while the storage is part of the failover cluster).The Cluster Validation tools complains with:Our Nimble OS is 2.1.3...Anybody have any ideas on things I can check?

On Windows Server 2012 R2 the option "Show my desktop background on Start" is disabled

Since this thread is
inactive, I am starting a new one.
On windows server 2012 R2, under the taskbar properties, the option to display desktop background on start is disabled and I have not found a way to enable the same.
Please suggest, how this can be enabled.
With regards

You should take a look at this thread. They still haven't figured it out yet though, I don't believe it is possible at the moment on server 2012 even with desktop experience installed.

Server 2012 cluster - virtual machine live migration does not work

Hi,
We have a hyper-v cluster with two nodes running Windows Server 2012. All the configurations are identical.
When I try to make a Live migration from one node to the other I get an error message saying:
Live migration of 'Virtual Machine XXXXXX' failed.
I get no other error messages, not even in event viewer. This same happens with all of our virtual machines.
A normal Quick migration works just fine for all of the virtual machines, so network configuration should not be an issue.
The above error message does not provide much information.

Hi,
Please check whether your configuration meet live migration requirement:
Two (or more) servers running Hyper-V that:
Support hardware virtualization.
Yes they support virtualization.
Are using processors from the same manufacturer (for example, all AMD or all Intel).
Both Servers are identical and brand new Fujitsu-Siemens RX300S7 with the same kind of processor (Xeon E5-2620).
Belong to either the same Active Directory domain, or to domains that trust each other.
Both nodes are in the same domain.
Virtual machines must be configured to use virtual hard disks or virtual Fibre Channel disks (no physical disks).
All of the vitual machines have virtual hard disks.
Use of a private network is recommended for live migration network traffic.
Have tried this, but does not help.
Requirements for live migration in a cluster:
Windows Failover Clustering is enabled and configured.
Yes
Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) storage in the cluster is enabled.
Yes
Requirements for live migration using shared storage:
All files that comprise a virtual machine (for example, virtual hard disks, snapshots, and configuration) are stored on an SMB share. They are all on the same CSV
Permissions on the SMB share have been configured to grant access to the computer accounts of all servers running Hyper-V.
Requirements for live migration with no shared infrastructure:
No extra requirements exist.
Also please refer to this article to check whether you have finished all preparation works for live migration:

Windows Server 2012 Cluster Validation Failing On List All Potential Cluster Disks

I'm in the process of setting up a new cluster using Windows Server 2012 with a view to migrate from our existing 2008 R2 cluster. I am having problems validating the storage and the wizard keeps failing on the List All Potential Cluster Disks
test (which causes all the other storage tests to be cancelled).
I'm getting the following error:
Failed while verifying removal of any Persistent Reservation on physical disk 19ba99a4 at node RC-HYPERV-3.riddlesdown.local.
When I look in validation report, disk 19ba99a4 is the management LUN (Access LUN 31 as termed by the storage software).
Looking on my 2008 R2 cluster this doesn't appear in Disk Management.
Any ideas how I can get rid of it or the error that it is causing?

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Strange errors regarding RPC and WMI after migrating Hyper-V from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 cluster...

Hi all;
Suppose I have created a two-node Hyper-V cluster with a fibre channel shared storage in Windows Server 2012. Everything work fine except some issues. One of the is that when I want to configure the cluster to add a VM as its cluster resource, the following
error message appears:
An error occurred while determining the state of this clustered role in the cluster. The remote procedure call failed with error 800706BE.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have tested many possible solutions without any success. The actions that I have done so far are mentioned in the following and the results of them have been said, too.
When I restart the servers, everything are good but after some times when I reopen Failover Cluster Manager on one of the servers, the snap-in related to my cluster name does not load. Please look at the following figure:
And when I want to connect to my cluster name, the following error message appears:
Note: The above problem appears randomly regarding to servers. In the other hand, after the restart, one of the servers acts as the above statement.

I have read the KB197814 and did the steps in it, restarted both servers, but the problem did not resolved.
I have check both servers for RPC Service status and in both servers it has started.
The both servers are alive and can ping each other by their IP address and name.
The firewall of both servers is off and I stopped the Windows Firewall service COMPLETELY.
Any services and applications that are depending on RPC have problems. For example when I want o remotely manages the services on these servers by using Services.msc console, the following error message appears:
Error 1726: The remote procedure call failed.

SQL Server 2012 Web synchronization option for SQL Server Merge Replication

I have 2 servers for this:
1. WIndows Server 2008 with SQL SERVER 2012
2. Windows Web SErver 2008 With IIS 7 - and SQL Client Conectivity Tools installed
https://192.168.100.8/sqlreplication/replisapi.dll?diag i have the next results:
Class Initialization test:
Class Status
ErrorCode
replisapi.dll classes SUCCESS 0x0
CLSID_SQLReplErrors FAILED 0x80040154
replrec.dll classes FAILED 0x80040154
msxml6.dll classes SUCCESS 0x0
Where replrec.dll is supposed to be? On the WebServer or Database Server? And if the answer is on the Webserver, how can i install it?
Thank you,
biionut

Hi biionut,
Did you install SQL Server 2012 Replication Components on the IIS server? The steps to install replication components are covered in
How to: Install SQL Server Replication Components.
Also, is your IIS server running 64-bit Windows? If so you will need to allow 32-bit applications to run on the IIS server:
cscript %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

Windows 2011 (2008 R2) Server boots to repair options

Hi, I have looked at other threads but can't seem to solve my issue.
So I have Server 2011 installed and really took care of my system. I was installing updates, on any power loss I ran chkdsk every time, installed proper drivers and it was really running well, though it's a consumer based pc (Some ASUS Desktop PC).
Last thing I did was install the Cannon MP160 driver so I could use scanning feature of the printer. Default windows driver has no TWAIN driver built in. The cannon website does not offer 2008 R2 driver, but instead only Windows 7 driver.
I am pretty certain that I rebooted after install which I generally always do.
However, there was a power loss.
So I turn on the pc, ASUS logo goes away, there is a dark screen and pc reboots itself. Then from ASUS logo (POST that is) it goes to 1.repair my pc, 2. boot normal. I tried F8 with safe mode, same thing, computer just reboots. I tried
bootlogging and can't seem to find bootlog.txt with command prompt.
So I tried this from command prompt;
chkdsk d: (windows installation) /r - no problem
rebuild bcd - can't find windows installation
there is another command where it makes sure the drive is bootable volume, so it does something to volume registry entry, The process goes through three edits and 2nd edit says the access is denied. I think command ends in NT60 /All
Then I tried Microsoft bootable ISO to uninstall 2 patches that could cause system to not boot - no success.
So last thing I tried was to use Windows 7 boot cd, which will give an option to repair possible boot problems. Can't resolve them - that's what the message says.
Now, I am thinking well I really don't need Server running, I could just reinstall windows 7 and use that, since I really just use it as storage, but it would be nice to get the system back up and running the way it was.
Well, I am open to any suggestions, maybe an in-place installation should be done, if possible?
Thanks,

Might ask them over here.

Sql Server 2012 Cluster IP Responses to MS Dynamics APP server broadcasts

Hi All,
We are facing issues in our brand new MS Dynamics AX 2012 R3 installation with clustered MS SQL 2012.
The DB server responses to the APP servers is like broadcasting to every system connected to the subnet. In our case that subnet is 192.168.2.0/24. But the packets sent from the AOS / APP server is not refelecting on other machines. We haven't made any changes
to the routing / switching config after the installation.
Attaching a screenshot for your reference.
Please guide us on what can be done to find the cause and solve it
Thanks,
Sriram A Das

Hi D. Graf,
According to my knowledge, you can choose the order (each server's IP address-> SQL Server instance IP-> Failover cluster instance IP) to change these IP addresses.
And before the process, please take SQL Server Cluster Instance Offline in Failover Cluster Manager . For more details, please review the following articles.
How to change the IP address of the cluster nodes hosting a SQL Server instance

Change the IP Address of a Failover Cluster Instance
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190460(v=sql.110).aspx
In addition, about network adapter issues and cluster nodes issues, I would like to
recommend you post the question in the Windows
server clustering forum at
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserverClustering
. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Adding Windows Server 2012 R2 to a Windows Server 2012 Cluster.... Supported?

Hi all;
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
no this is not supported.
The easiest way to see is if you run cluster validation when adding a new 2012 R2 node.
Microsoft supports a failover cluster solution only if the complete configuration (servers, network, and storage) can pass all tests in the Validate a Configuration Wizard.
In this step it checks for compatibility. Here you can see if it works or not

Configure SSL SQL Server 2012 Cluster Instance

Hi Jame,
According to your description, you encountered the error when you were trying to configure a named clustered instance to use SSL certificate.
Based on my research, the error 17182 "TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x38" occurs specifically because of the fact that the string under Certificate value cannot be properly converted back to a valid thumbprint
of the certificate.
A common root cause for these symptoms is an invisible character that may have been inadvertently added to the certificate's Thumbprint value, when it gets copied out of the Certificates snap-in's rich-edit control in MMC. For example, if the thumbprint
contains the Unicode character, then it may cause this issue, the following similar issue is for your reference:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2013/07/23/when-using-ssl-sql-failover-cluster-instance-fails-to-start-with-error-17182.aspx
For more details and the resolution about this issue, please refer to the following article:

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Hardware Requirement for SQL Server 2012 Cluster

Hi All,
We are going to share System Requirement document with the customer and one of the technical staff from Customer has request us to provide Microsoft Disk space requirement at least for below 2 section and why?
Quorum & MSDTC (Both will be SAN and what will be their RAID type)
Please share your advice.
Regards, Sachin

Hello,
The quorum disk needs only to have a few MB to hold the file used for arbitration. Normally if you're needing a disk vote, it can be extremely small (100MB or less is what most SANs can do, some can only do 1 GB or greater). The actual file size is a few
KBs.
MSDTC holds the DTC logs, so this will be sized to how much logging and usage of MSDTC is needed and used. If you're not using distributed transactions then it doesn't even need setup.

SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster configuration questions

Hi,
I have few questions on , SQL Server 2012 Failover cluserting pleasse provide suggestions:
1) In SQL Server 2012 is there a configuration for active / passive Failover Cluster installation? If so how is it done? if you could provide any links or articles that would help.
OR
Is this been replaced by Always ON Availability Groups?
2) Also in our environment we have done active/active installation but at a time my understanding is only node has the ownership to the shared storage versus both the nodes, is that correct? If not please provide an explanation?
Any additional information would be valuable in clearing my doubts?
Thank youy
Malini=

Hi malinisethi,
If you install SQL Server in a cluster and configure Active-Passive cluster. In the first node, select “New SQL Server Failover Cluster installation” option , when we are installing Active-Passive cluster, we have to specify one virtual/network name. (Note:
For Active-Active clustering you have specify different network names as per the number of nodes). on the other nodes is similar to installing on the first node except that we have select the Add Node to a SQL Server failover cluster option from the initial
menu. For more information, there is a similar issue about SQL Server 2008 Active-Passive/Active-Active cluster installation, you can review the following article.
http://sqldbpool.com/2009/10/07/sql-server-2008-active-passive-cluster-installation/
About Active/Active SQL Cluster, two clustered SQL Server instance are created in different nodes. Then apply Active /Active configuration of both instance. There is an example about creating an Active/Active SQL Cluster using Hyper-V. you can review the
following article.
