SQL 05 Cluster environment

Hola all,
Can someone summarize the benefits and the usage of SQL 05
Clustered Environment?
Our sceneiro, we will have one CF server and 2 SQL servers in
a clustered environment. Which one of the SQL 05, we should
configure as data source? or it doesnt matter....

Hello my friend
Unfortunately this is not a zero down time solution since Database Services and Analysis Services checkboxes will not be available while patching SP3:
1. Launch SP3 package on the active node;
2. Select authentication mode for the instance you are going to update;
3. Enter credentials of the login you want to run service pack on behalf of;
4. Click all the way next to start installing;
Then you need to update the inactive node it is necessary to execute all the steps except steps 2 and 3. There can be some problems with updating database service in the cluster. Restart of each node of the cluster and restart of the cluster service usually resolves all the problems. After restart try to update database service one more time.

Effan

Thanks for the reply. Still I am not clear on how to use the STM tools in my scenario. I had issues with the domain installation with distributed in a cluster. Working with SAP and got a reply today saying that SAPINST will be modified.

SQL PATCH IN CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

Dear All,
One of my client is having SAP ECC6.0 , SQL 2005 , windows 2003 64 bit.
They are having SQL 2005 version 9.00.1399 and according to SAP it is no more supported so they want to upgrade it to 9.00.4035.
In DEV and QAS (non cluster environment) they are already having 9.00.4035 .
- Can you guys please guide me about how to apply SQL patch in Cluster environment.
- Shall I apply patch 9.00.4035 directly from 9.00.1399
- Any recommendations before and after applying patched
Kindly guide.

SQL Cluster - Unable to obtain IP Address from System Center IP Pool

Hi everyone,
we are trying to deploy a SQL cluster into a windows azure pack tenant cloud.
Our azure pack environment contains:
- 4X Hyper-V server in a failover cluster
- 1X SCVMM server
- multiple WAP server
Steps we have done:
-   Windows failover cluster is installed and configured successfully
-   Quorum disk was configured successfully
-   SQL server 2014 installation (via static IP) is successfully. But routing between the VMs is not possible.
-   SQL server 2014 installation (via DHCP) fails at the end of the installation with following error:
       -> We used DHCP to obtain an IP from the scvmm IP pool.

We have tried to reinstall the servers multiple times, without result.
Can anyone assist us in this case?
Thanks

Hi Darryl,
thanks for your supply.
We don't have an DHCP in the Cloud. System Center DHCP is used for assigning IP addresses and routing inforamtion to the vms.
This works fine for assigning IP addresses to the vms.
At my current point of understanding network virtualisation with system Center, we do not have an alternative to this way of assigning IP addresses.
Kind Regards

Can a SQL Cluster have many Master Secret \ SSO systems?

We are trying to build a BizTalk environment that will offer multiple BizTalk instances off one SQL cluster.
Our SQL cluster consists of 2 servers configured in an ACTIV\ACTIVE configuration and reads data from a SAN.
We have to set up 6 BizTalk instances to create 6 environments for UAT, Support, DR, etc. These BizTalk groups will contain 2 BizTalk servers each. Each instance will have a group of service accounts assigned to it ino order to separate the environments
but will still use the same SQL cluster.
We have named cluster resources for each UAT, Support, etc for the SAN so that the databses are written and read from mounted disks.
My question and confusion surrounds SSO and the clustering of the Master Secret for multiple instances.
I want to cluster the Master Secret on the existing SQL cluster as the documentation states, but I am not sure if this is correct when there are multiple BizTalk instances running off the the same SQL cluster. The nodes of the SQL cluster will have
the SSO service installed and so too will the BizTalk servers in each instance group - UAT, Support, etc. So, would this mean there is only one master secret being used for all BizTalk instances, which I feel is wrong?
Or should the master secret just exist on a bizTalk server without HA?
I want HA but not sure where the SSO and master secret should go and ensure there are no dependencies from the other BizTalk instances should the SSO service need restarting on the SQL cluster.
I have not implemented multiple instances on the same SQL cluster before so this is new and confusing. The microsoft documentation isn't too great either.
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

post Windows Server 2008 you can have multiple MS DTC instances on one cluster. So unlike previous versions (w2k3) where the recommendation was to add MSDTC to the base cluster group, you can now have one instance of MSDTC cluster resource per resource group.
In short yes if you feel that MSDTC is becoming a bottleneck in your processing. Also it would be preferred that for each of your BizTalk Environments you create at least ONE MSDTC resource per environment.

Discover System with a database cluster environment?

Hi All
We are thinking of getting the Discovery System and are looking into using the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise addition to allow us to use the Discovery System beyond the 180 day evaluation version of SQL Server that comes with the system.
Does anyone know if the Discover System will work with a database cluster environment or does the database need to be installed on the Discovery System box?
Sorry, Im not a BASIS Administrator or DBA.
Thanks!
Mike Vondran

Thanks Rick,
Just to put our proposed usage of the Discovery System into context, our goal is to use it as a proof of concept/ prototyping system to use some of the features of the NetWeaver environment for various different business cases. We would like to use it for this purpose beyond the 180 day SQL Server evaluation addition constraint that comes with the Discovery System. We have existing SQL Server database clusters that we could leverage and wanted to see if it is possible to use them before purchasing an Enterprise Addition of SQL Server.
We would NOT, and could not, be using it for any Production purposes.
Let me know if this usage/environment makes sense.
Thanks again for your help on this.

Is cluster environment needed in alwayson?

Hi All,
I have a question, can we built 'Alwayson group' without a cluster environment?
If we can, what are the disavantages in building it?
Or
If we can not? Why we can not built in non-cluster environment?
I did some research in google some say we can built in standalone some say we can not, but I do not get the concrete answer. The agenda is we are planning to cut cost for clustering. Please help me to understand it.
Also Suggest me some blogs, books for the same.
Thanks
Best Regards Moug

Hello Moug,
You cannot build SQL Server AlwaysOn groups without Windows Cluster. Whatever resources out there in the web, saying that it can, are kind of misleading - there is a strict requirement from Microsoft that you need Windows Cluster to get advantage of the
AlwaysOn groups (you can check the
AOAG Overview and the
WSFC feature).
Also, since Windows Server 2012, Failover Clustering feature is supported in Standard edition as well, so that can help with the costs, I guess.

Create secondary node on BOBJ cluster environment

Hi All,
I have done migration from old BOBJ server to new BOBJ server. The primary nodes has successfully completed and manage to view reports. I currently having issue to proceed installing second node on BOBJ cluster environment. i stuck at phase repository database as no database entry was found.
Please help. I also attach my steps to install the second node.
Thanks.
Regards
Aiman

Hi,
im guessing you do an Expand installation on the second node and want to enter the credentials of your existing CMS DB, the one you configured during the installation of Node 1. Correct?
What is your CMS DB of a Kind? MS SQL? Oracle?
It looks like that the ODBC DSN entries are missing on Node 2.

A transaction problem in cluster environment,help!

          I need to take a complicated data operation which will have to call sevearl SQL
          sentences to add datas into DB in a circle. In order to minimize the cost of DB
          connection, I use one connection to create 5 statements,which are used to add
          datas repeatedly. You can read the corresponding codes below. These codes run
          very well in stand-alone environment,but problem occurs when changed to cluster
          environment. The console shows that it's timeout because the transaction takes
          too long time. But when it runs in stand-alone environment,it completes in less
          than one second! In both situations I use the same TX data source. I guess when
          changed to cluster environment,the transaction processing becomes very complicated
          and then it leads to dead-lock. Anybody agrees with this, or has any experience
          about it before? Help,thanks a lot!

Hello,
Are you using any kind of Load Balancer, like an F5. I am currently troubleshooting this issue for one of our ADF apps and I originally suspected the F5 was not sending traffic correctly. We have not set the adf-config file for HA and the dev team will fix that. But my concern is that will just hide my F5 issue.
Thanks,

SBO Mailer in a cluster environment

Hi,
I am currently facing an issue where when I install SBO Mailer on a cluster environment, the installation removes applications and license manager for some reason gets uninstalled.. When I want to uninstall the SBO Mailer, I do not see it under the Control Panel and neither do I see it in running in services. But if i look at the Service Manager the SBO Mailer Service is running.
The strange part is that after this installation, there is an add-on that stopped working.
Has anyone come across such a scenario?

Hi,
To uninstall you have to first run the Server tools and there you can uncheck the sbo mailer. There is not way you can uninstall SBO mailer service and you cannot find it under control panel its a service...not an applicaiton.
Run the server tools and then choose repair.

Deploying Java Web Application (WAR-File) into a cluster environment

Hi,
we have a web application which has to read from and write to the file system.
Since a short time we have a cluster environment (2 parallel servers) and since thisa time we have the problem, that files are worked double in the cluster. The application is working on both servers now and so we have this problem.
Does anybody know how we have to deploy the application correctly in a cluster environment or do we have to change anything in our source code of the application?
I didn't find any documentation about this.
At the moment we have deployed the application on one of the two servers only, but I think there must be a better way to solve this problem.
Thanks for your replies.
Regards
Thorsten

Hi,
I think first you need to wrap it into an EAR file, then you can deploy it.
As far as I know standalone deployment of WAR is deprecated as of 640.

Hopefully this tutorial also gives some idea:

PI 7.1 in a cluster environment (multiple ip-adresses): P4 port

We want to install PI 7.1 on unix in a cluster environment.Therefore we installed also DEV+QA with virtual hostnames like the prodsystem, which will be later installed.
At all sapinst installation screens we have used only the virtual hostname <virtual-hostname-server interface>.We have also set the SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual-hostname-server interface>. Although the P4-port seems to have used the physical hostname: in step 57 of sapinst we got problems and in dev_icm were:
[Thr 05] *** ERROR => client with this banner already exists:
1:<physical-hostname>:35644 {000306f5} [p4_plg_mt.c 2495]
After we have set
icm/server_port_1 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-server interface>
icm/server_port_6 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-user interface>
icm/server_port_7 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<physical hostname>
icm/server_port_8 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=127.0.0.1
the sapinst was successfull.
Now we're not sure how to set these P4-parameters in our future productive cluster environment.
Our productive system PX1 will live in a HA environment, so we don't want to use the physical hostnames in any profile.
Our environment will look like:
HOST-A (<physical-hostname-A>):
<virtual-hostname-server interface>
<virtual-hostname-user interface>
HOST-B (<physical-hostname-B>):
Normally our prodsystem will live on Host-A (physical-hostname-A). All parameters should
only take the virtual hostname <virtual-hostname-server-interface>. During switchover the
virtual hostnames (server and user interface) will be taken over to HOST-B, while the physical
hostnames of HOST-A and HOST-B will stay like there are.
How do the parameters have to be set here ?
Have also the physical hostnames of both cluster nodes set in the
instance profile, e.g:
icm/server_port_1 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-server interface>
icm/server_port_6 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-user interface>
icm/server_port_7 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<physical-hostname-A>
icm/server_port_8 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<physical-hostname-B>
icm/server_port_9 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<localhost>
Any recommendations ? In note 1158626 is some infomation regarding P4 ports with multiple network interfaces, but it's not 100% clear for us.
Best regards,
Uta

Hi Uta!
Obviously we are the only human beings in the SAP community having this problem. Nevertheless let's give it another try with a - hopefully - more simple problem description (and maybe it will be helpful to copy and paste this description into the open SAP CSN also).
So here comes the scenario:
We have one physical host:
Physical hostname: physhost
Physical IP address: 1.1.1.1
On this physical host there is running one OS: SUN Solaris 10/SPARC
On top of this we have two virtual hosts where we install 2 completely independent PI 7.1 instances with separate virtual hostnames and separate virtual IP addresses and separate DB2 9.1 databases. That is this is not an MCOD installation.
Virtual Host no. 1 is PI 7.1 Development System:
Virtual hostname: virthostdev
Virtual IP address: 2.2.2.2
Java Port numbers: 512xx
Virtual Host no. 2 is PI 7.1 QA System:
Virtual hostname: virthostqa
Virtual IP address: 3.3.3.3
Java Port numbers: 522xx
With this constellation we face serious problems with the P4 port. Currently for example the JSPM for virthostdev does not start, because JSPM cannot connect to the P4 port.
In SAP note 1158626 we have learned that by default always the physical hostname/IP address is used to address the P4 port and that we have to configure instance profile parameter icm/server_port_xx to avoid this.
So how do we have to configure the instance profile parameter icm/server_port_xx for both systems to resolve these P4 port conflicts?
Additionally: Is it important to use distinct server port slot numbers xx in both systems?
Additionally: Is it possible to configure this parameter with hostnames instead of using IP addresses?
So far we have tried several combinations, but with each combination at least one or even both systems have problems with that f.... P4 port.
Please help! Thanx a lot in advance!

Volker

SQL cluster 2008 R2 migration to new Hardware in VM

Hi,
We have a task to migrate existing Physical SQL Cluster DB to new Hardware but in VM. (cannot argue with the client)
hence our plan is to install new Cluster in VM with same Windows and SQL version i.e Win 2K8 R2 ENT w/SP and SQL 2K8
R2 STD w/SP and use SQL mirroring option for the DB to migrate on the new Server (keeping the downtime to as low as possible and advantage of bringing the old server online in case of any issues..)
Below points are for a single instance, couple of DB to migrate:
Keep the physical production server running
In-Parallel build New SQL Cluster in VM (keep same version windows/sql)
Keep Same drive letter for Quorum, MSDTC, DATA, LOG & Backup
Keep the same Instance Name, SQL Network Name can be different (will be changed to old network name once the PROD is shutdown)
Check all logins windows and SQL to be same on both the clusters
Copy all the jobs, SSIS packages etc.. .create the location folder as per current server on the VM SQL Cluster
Perform full backup of old cluster company-db databases or use the existing latest backup (full, differential, transaction)
Restore databases in the new cluster with no recovery so additional log file or differential backup can be restored
Create SQL Mirroring for the Database and select the principal server (old cluster) and the mirror server (new VM cluster)
Choose mirroring without witness ( no auto failover as we don’t need the old server later)
Start the mirroring – (hopefully everything synchronized and working)
During the downtime –
Stop the application/ client connection – if possible
Failover the DB through Mirroring option
Once the mirrored server becomes Principal and data is accessible – stop the mirroring
Now the new VM SQL Cluster DB is online
Shutdown the old cluster company-db (Node1 & Node2)
Come back to VM SQL Cluster and change the Network name to the old server network name (so that client connections are not affected)
Check if the DNS entries are updated with correct name and IP address
Delete DNS entries for old company-db on DNS Servers if not deleted, delete the old server SQL network name in computer object
Stop SQL Resources on the new VM SQL Cluster (take it offline all the resources)
Bring online the SQL Resource and make sure the SQL resources are online and new network name is reachable
Wait till you see machine name company-db in active directly (AD) and DNS server will have entry for company-db
Verify connectivity for company-db from outside.
If things are not going as per the plan then shut down the new VM cluster
Revert back the DNS settings
Power up the Old SQL Server
The DB will show “restoring mode” – use command to make it online “RESTORE DATABASE (dbname) WITH RECOVERY”
Check the DB
Start using the OLD server again
Troubleshoot the failed scenario ;)
Need to know if the above steps are okay, and any consideration once the new VM SQL Cluster is online.
Kindly let me know if there anything else to transfer apart from the logins, jobs, folder location etc.. !!
Many Thanks

Hello,
Well if you don’t change the instance name (name = ABC) then its OK.
Try the following resources about transferring SQL Server logins:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992/en-us
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2081/transfer-sql-server-jobs-task-and-transfer-sql-server-logins-task-in-ssis/
Hope this helps.

SAP R/3 4.7 SR1 Migration to MSCS cluster environment

Hi all,
We are planning to move our existing standalone server R/3 production server to cluster environment.
I have some queries regarding this migration
Our R/3 system is running on SAP R/3 4.7x1.10 SR1 on Windows 2003 and Oracle 9.2
1. Central Instance has to be installed in local disk or shared disk
2. Is it correct to R3load procedures to export data from old server and import during Database installation
3. Presently our server is running with kernel 640, but for the new installation kernel will be 620. So when can i upgrade kernel immediately after central instance installation or after CI and DB Instance installation.
Give me some inputs
Thanks & Regards
KT

Hi, the best place for your questions would have been the forum SAP on Windows.
However, here the answers.
1) CI must be on a shared disk
2) Right, if you don't change the database platform and its release you can also use backup/restore
3) Right. You can also perform the installation with the latest NW04 installation master

any solve for this problem ?????!!!!!!!!!!

There is a dedicated forum for SQL Developer related questions
