Sql 2005 cluster

Hello
Our site SAP ECC6 bo installed on win2003 os and SQL entrpraise 2005. The db be install on microst cluster with two nodes.
I nedd to replace the two nodes with new ones.
It is posible to add the two new nodes to the current cluster (cluster with 4 nodes) ?
When i install the sap software at the new node , the sap can be online at the other node ? or it is down time necessary ?
I read at microsoft site that sql 2005 can work with more than 2 nodes , also with sap software.
someone can help me with my questions ?
Regards
Shabtay

Hello Shabtay,
Sorry, I could not understand your query. Following is my reply based on what I understood:
The number of nodes supported in the clustered configuration of SQL Server 2005 depends on the OS limits.
With Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition upto 4 nodes can be configured.
Hence, you can add two more nodes to the existing cluster.
A downtime is surely involved while replacing both the existing nodes.
Applications must be down while doing the same.
To my knowledge following query by you is not possible :
"When i install the sap software at the new node , the sap can be online at the other node ?" So the answer is No. There will be instance conflict. ( This means installing 2 SAP systems with same name in such case).
Regards

SQL 2005 cluster rejects SQL logins when in failed over state

When SQL 2005 SP4 on Windows 2003 server cluster is failed over from Server_A to Server_B, it rejects all SQL Server logins. domain logins are OK. The message is "user is not associated with a trusted server connection", then the IP of the
client. This is error 18452. Anyone know how to fix this? They should work fine from both servers. We think this started just after installing SP4.
DaveK

Hello,
The connection string is good, you're definitely using sql auth.
LoginMode on Server_B is REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1) LoginMode on Server_A is REG_DWORD 0x00000002 (2) Looks like you are on to something. I will schedule another test failover. I assume a 2 is mixed mode? If so, why would SQL allow two different modes
on each side of a cluster?
You definitely have a registry replication issue, or at the very least a registry that isn't in sync with the cluster. This could happen for various reasons, none of which we'll probably find out about now, but never the less...
A good test would be to set it to windows only on Node A, wait a minute and then set it to Windows Auth and see if that replicates the registry setting across nodes correctly - this is actually the windows level and doesn't have anything to do with SQL Server.
SQL Server reads this value from the registry and it is not stored inside any databases (read, nothing stored in the master database) as such it's a per machine setting. Since it's not set correctly on Node B, when SQL server starts up it correctly reads
that registry key and acts on it as it should. The culprit isn't SQL Server, it's Windows Clustering.
Hopefully this makes a little more sense now. You can actually just edit the registry setting to match Node A and fail over to B, everything should work correctly. It doesn't help you with a root cause analysis which definitely needs to be done as who knows
what else may not be correctly in sync.

The acount information could not be verified - SQL 2005 SP3 installation on Windows 2008 R2 Failover Cluster

Hi,
We have a problem when we are trying to install SQL SP3 on SQL 2005 cluster.
The problem is described bellow:
We installed a new Windows 2008 R2 x64 failover cluster with two nodes.
As a next step we installed SQL 2005 Enterprise edition x64 on this failover cluster. We have finished the installation without problems. After SQL installation we are trying to install SQL SP3 . We have logged on using a domain administrator account and
we start the installation of SP3 with that user. In authentication mode screen the test gives a success status using either domain administrator-windows authentication or sa-sql authentication. On remote user account screen, when we give the domain
administrator account we get the message "the account information could not be verified. Press ok to return to authentication mode screen to determine the reason for failure".
We have tried to give the SQL services startup user on remote user account screen but the error is the same.
the domain administrator account exists on security logins of SQL with sysadmin rights.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

Hi StelioMavro,
According to your error message, when you install SQL Server 2005 SP3 in your failover cluster, we need to verify if there was other instance that had been removed and the installation did not pass the login check. I recommend you use windows authentication
instead of SQL Server authentication when applying SP3. And the windows account used to run the SP3 setup program must have administrator privileges on the computer where SP3 will be installed.
For more information about how to install SQL Server 2005 SP3 in failover cluster, you can review the following article.

Cluster Installation - SQL 2005 / 2003 - Creating cluster group

Hi All,
I am working on the cluster Installation in our environment and facing some issues at the time of installing first node MSCS Installation. let me summarize the activities done so far
Environment Details
Physical Disk :
G: (Physical Disk - SAN )
I : (Physical Disk - SAN )
C: Local disk
Q: (Physical Disk Quorum - SAN )
F: (Database and logs)
-- > SCS installed locally in the server in G drive
Virtual Hostname and IP : SeparateIP & cluster1
Node 1: Hostname and separate IP
Node 2 : hostname and Separate IP
Installed MSCS service and tested the same - its working fine
Installed SQL 2005 database in cluster mode and its working fine
Started installing SAP
Step 1: Installation of SCS instance in node A (Used F drive) - Successfull Installed
Step 2: Installation of First node MSCS in node A
Here I am facing an issue, in the end phase of the installation it will ask for creating cluster group -- > There I need to define the Global disk as F (Which is defined at the time of installing SCS instance) - But i dont see that disk is available in the drop down box .
Is there any other workaround to bring the Global disk while creating the cluster group (First node MSCS installation)
Looking forward for your suggestions
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Regret for the late update
112266 solved my problem and In my case, I have bisected the disk as two but in the cluster environment that should not be the case. Ensure the the same in disk management

Howto take SQL Server 2005 Cluster AND Cluster Group Offline

I need to update firmware on the backend storage used by our Active/Passive SQL Server 2005 Cluster. The first step in the process states that all I/O to the disks should be stopped. Per that, I need to take the the SQL Server cluster offline AND the cluster group; however, I then need to use one of the servers that participates in the cluster to perform the upgrade on the storage array. Using the process (which doesn't account for having to use one of clustered servers to perform updates) outlined at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1550288&SiteID=1 as a basis, below is my best guess regarding what I will need to do:
Shutdown:
1. Backup all of your databases prior to the outage and ensure they are in a safe place (NOT on the disk drives in the cluster)
2. Take the SQL Server group OFFLINE. This will cleanly shutdown the SQL Server and it will remain offline when you power the machine back on.
3. Once SQL Server is offline, power off the node which does NOT have the cluster resource currently running on it
4. Save the node which is running the cluster group for last - make a note of this machine as it will be the first one you power back on. MY ADDITION: Before powering it down, set the cluster service to manual so that when you restart the server to perform the storage array maintenance, the cluster will not be running - and likewise not generating I/O against the disk array.
MY ADDITION: 5. Restart the server from step 4. Takes the cluster offline "cleanly" and brings the server back on line so that the storage array maintenance can be performed.
6. Update the firmware on the storage array. After that is complete, set the cluster service back to "Automatic".
Start up:
1. Restart the server. Per the previous steps, the server to be restarted will be the server that last hosted the cluster group and the one used to update the firmware on the storage array.
2. RDP into the node, open cluster administrator, and verify that the cluster came back online successfully and everything looks clean
3. Power on the second node.
4. Failover the cluster group across each node in the cluster and validate that everything looks OK
5. Bring your SQL Server groups back online
6. Validate that everything is operational
Is there a better way to do this or official documentation for the process?
Thanks.

FYI: I did use the process outlined above to briing the cluster offline, perform updates, and bring it back online. It worked as I had hoped. As a test, I had also done the same on a test [non-SQL] cluster prior to making the updates to our SQL cluster. Is it the best way to do it? Who knows. Did it work? Yes.

HA Installation of ERP 6 With SQL 2005 Server Problem.

hi ,
i have two blade server with windows 2003 Enterprise and cluster configure on them as prescribe by the note of Microsoft.
now i have installed MS Sql 2005 Server as said by the SAP Documentation on first node and it was sucessfull . after that i installed ABAP (ASCS) SCS on first node and it was installed too . now i am stuck at the process of FIRST MSCS NODE step
the installation note says :-
7.4.5Configuring the First MSCS Node
To configure the first MSCS node so that it functions properly in MSCS, you have to run the cluster configuration option offered by the SAPinst tool. When you run this option it:
Creates the SAP cluster group
Copies tools to the SAPCluster directory
Sets the SAPService to manual
Makes sure that the SAPOsCol service starts from the SAPCluster directory
this says cluster configuration option but i can't find it any where and i don't know how the %windows%/sapcluster dir creates do i have to create it manually if so then how, the sap document says as follows :-
SapCluster Directory
In an SAP cluster installation, an additional directory u2013 %WINDIR%\SapCluster u2013 is created under the system directory.
This contains all the SAP files required by all MSCS cluster nodes, independently of the MSCS node the SAP instance is running on. The files are database tools and program files (executables) used by the operating system monitor (SAPOsCol).
The directory is added to the path variable of the user <sapsid>adm.
can any one help me in this .
thanks in advanced

MS SQL 2005 clustered database instance.

Short Text
MS SQL cluster database instance - ONLY!
Long Text
Hi,
If possible could you please confirm that our planned landscape
migration is supported by SAP.
At present our PRD SAP system is a standalone instance that consists of
the database & central instance running on the same "HOST".
Current SAP PRD version:
ERP 2004 ECC 5.0 32 bit
MS SQL 2000 32 bit
both running on same host with OS Windows 2003 32 bit
We plan to upgrade/migrate our PRD SAP system to new 64 bit hardware
AND to move to a "Distributed" landscape installation i.e. database
instance & central instance installed on different HOSTS. Also, the
database instance WILL be clustered but the central instance will NOT
be clustered. There are also multiple NON-SAP MS SQL databases that
will run in the same cluster as the PRD SAP database instance.
SAP PRD version after migration:
SAP ERP 2004 ECC 5.0 64bit (running on X86_64 AMD64 hardware) on HOST'X'
MS SQL 2005 64 bit (running on IA64 hardware) on clustered HOST'Y'
Both running on Windows 2003 64 bit
My questions are:
1) Does SAP support a clustered MS SQL 2005 database instance that is
running on a clustered HOST along with NON-SAP MS SQL databases?
2)During the migration our PRD SAP MS SQL database will be upgraded
from MS SQL 2000 32 bit to MS SQL 2005 64 bit IA64, is this also
supported in a clustered istallation (database instance ONLY)?
3) The central PRD SAP instance will be running on x86_64 AMD64
hardware & the database instance will be running on 64 bit IA64
hardware. Is this configuration supported?
Thanking you inadvance.

Hi Greg,
Have you figured out the answer? We are trying do the exactly the same thing -- Move our SAP WAS 6.40 clustered central instance to a 64-bit hardware/SQL 2005/Clustered system. And this system has several non-SAP database on there. The biggest concern we have is whether SAP support this architecture. I posted a message here last year and several experts like Clas Hortien, N. P. C, in this form suggest NOT go to this architecture because SAP will not support it. One example, is that SAP/SQL requires server collation setting to SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 and other databases may work on different collations.
Migrate SAP SQL Server database to co-exist with others
Anyway, if you or anyone in this form have some more information please share here.
Thanks,
Yujun Ran

Error installing SQL 2005 SP4

Hi Guys,
When i am installing SQL 2005 SP4 in windows 2008r2 cluster i get following error message "your account information could not be verified. Press OK to return to Authentication Mode screen to determine reason for failure.For setup to verify your
credentials the services must be startable,connectable,and you must be a SQL Server Administrator"
I am a local admin on both the box,sql service account is also a domain a/c and has admin privileges also i have added my account as well as sql service account as sysadmin in sql server instance.I had installed SQL 2005 earlier using same accounts with
no issue.
Can anyone point out why the error.It doesn't make sense to me.
Regards,
Viv

Hello,
Could you try installing the service pack on the passive node using the /passive switch? For example:
SQLServer2005SP4-KB955706-x86-ENU.exe /passive
If the above is successful, failover and do the same on the other node.
Are you logged in as a Windows account that has the sysadmin role on SQL Server?
Could you verify the authentication information provided to SQL Server setup is correct?
I have not installed a SQL Server 2005 in more than 5 years, I am sorry if I suggest things that not make sense to you.
Hope this helps.

Browse Data & Parameter flds no longer fully populated after upgd SQL 2005

I upgrade our SQL 2000 Server last weekend to SQL 2005 (sp2).
Now our Crystal reports that access SQL data are not working correctly. Parameter Fields are showing little to no data, where before the upgrade we were seeing many more rows in the list.
Digging further, I looked at the fields used for the dynamic LOV. If I use Browse Data on those fields I am seeing the same lack of data. One "Browse Data" that would typically return 80 items now returns 3 items. In that report the data field is DateTime. In another report, the field is string.
I am also seeing an extra check for User Name and password before getting to the Enter values screen for the parameter.
I am using Crystal Developer 11.0.0.1994. It is happening on multiple PCs. I tried with both the original SQL ODBC Driver and the newer SQL Native Client ODBC driver, with the same result.
I've looked at this for 3 days with no luck. Any ideas?

Full SysAdmin rights.
I use a dedicated ODBC connection and have tried both "SQL Server" odbc driver and "SQL NativeClient" (2005) odbc driver.
If I go to Crystal, to the Field Explorer, to the one of the fields, right-click and "Browse Data..." I get two results (I expect 82 results and have seen that in the past.) If I paste the query from Crystal, Database, "Show SQL Query.." to SQL Server Management Studio, I see the full, correct results.
In one example the field browsed is called "PeriodEndDate" (DateTime). A dynamic Parameter Field was created accessing this field. Here is the security curiosity...refreshing now asks for the user login each time "Prompt for new parameter values" is selected. It used to ask only the first time. The Crystal: Data Explorer" shows the current connection logged in ok.
The two issues may or may not be related. Certainly if #1 were fixed, dynamic parameters would return the correct results. Even if it asked for the password each time.
1.) "Browse Data" returning a smaller result than normal.
2.) "Parameter Prompt" asks for Server Name, Database Name, User Name, and Password on
each refresh selecting "Prompt for new parameter values".

Dsml and SQL 2005 reporting services?

I usually post over in the IDM forum so be nice to the newbie here :)
I have a Sun Directory server that I've enabled DSML on. On that side everything is good. However, ideally I want to pull this data into a MS SQL 2005 reporting services report. They have support for XML and web services, but the DSML front end doesn't accept GET requests and I don't know how to send the request as post in reporting services.
Has anyone else be able to get something like this working?
Thanks!

No idea about MS SQL, but is your reporting service able to use files on disk? If so I guess your problem is easily solved by using an app to fetch data from directory server to disk. If you're more adventerous, you write a script in perl/python which acts as a proxy and translates GET requests to POST and relays data back in real time. Not sure if these help or not, just my thoughts.

Xp_logininfo "Installation problem on windows 2003 with Sql 2005"

Hi every one
I am facing a problem during the installation of Solution Manager 4.0 on Windows 2003 server with Ms Sql 2005, I received the following error
Msg 15404, Level 16, State 19, Procedure xp_logininfo, Line 60.
Its some how look likes that the user "SID"ADM
Can any one give me a clue
thanks
Kind Regards
Sohail

Hi All,
This would solve your problem
First of all this error is MSSQL error.
When you perform an action on an instance of SQL Server that requires SQL Server to resolve the credentials of a Microsoft Windows NT domain user account, you may receive an error message that is similar
Server: Msg 8198, Level 16, State XX, Procedure <Stored Procedure Name>, Line <line Number>
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user '<Domain\Account Name>'.
To resolve the credentials of a Windows NT domain user account, SQL Server uses the xp_logininfo system stored procedure. Here is a list of the common scenarios where you may notice that the xp_logininfo system stored procedure fails and causes the 8198 error.
When you use an xp_sendmail extended stored procedure.
When you set up replication.
When you run a SQL Server Agent job.
SQL Server may run the xp_logininfo system stored procedure to retrieve information about the Windows domains and the user accounts, even if the user does not do so explicitly. Therefore, if you receive an 8198 error message and the error message mentions the xp_logininfo system stored procedure as the procedure, you must use SQL Profiler to trace and to troubleshoot the exact point of failure.

SQL 2005 will not connect in SQL 2012 profiler

We have a few SQL 2005 databases that we manage. I went to do a trace on them(recently upgraded to 2012) and it gives me the error, "SQL Server Native Client 11.0 does not support connections to SQL Server 2000 and earlier versions".
According to MSDN it does. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356(v=SQL.110).aspx
"SQL Server Native Client 11.0 supports connections to SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008
