SQL clustered instance outgoing traffic

Hi,
I have an interesting issue I'm trying to solve. Hopefully I'm missing something really simple. Here's a description of our environment, and the issue I'm having.
2 node SQL 2008 R2 SP2 clustered named instance. There are a total of 4 instance names on the cluster.
Node 1 IP is 192.168.1.121
Node 2 IP is 192.168.1.122
Named instance IPs are 192.168.1.123 to 192.168.1.126
Now here's my dilemma. When I connect to a linked server from one of the 4 named instances, instead of the remote server seeing the named instance IP (eg, 192.168.1.126), it's seeing the IP of the node that is hosting that instance (eg, 192.168.1.121). This
is causing us an issue, as the remote SQL server is behind a firewall, and we expected it to use the instance IP and not the host IP. I have already tried to force the IP in the Server Configuration Manager for the instance name, but this has not
helped.
The server logs for the instance show it listening only on the instance IP (eg. 192.168.1.126 <ipv4> 1433).
All communications to the named instances use the correct IP, and not the node IP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hugh McDaid

Hello Hugh,
You need to add an entry to your DNS server that resolves to the virtual IP used by each cluster role, and also add it as a resource for the corresponding role. Make sure the network interface used by SQL server outbound connections has its DNS server set
up correctly.
If that doesn't work, add the DNS name to your hosts file, pointing to the IP address.
"I have already tried to force the IP in the Server Configuration Manager for the instance name, but this has not helped."
So, you've set up an ALIAS for your sql server native client, right? Please note that there are two native clients installed in your servers, one for 32bit applications and the other for 64bits. Make sure the alias is set for BOTH clients. SSMS uses the
32bit aliases, and remember that they only apply locally. If you wanna work with them, tou need to configure the same aliases in each host that needs to connect to the instance.
Is this problem only happening between clustered instances?

  • SQL Server 2012 - 3 SQL clustered instances - one default/ two named instances - how assign/should assign static ports for named instances

    We have two physical servers hosting 3 SQL 2012 clustered instances, one default instance and two named instances.
    The default instance is using port 1433 and the two named instances are using dynamic port assignment.
    There is discussion about assigning static port numbers to the two named clustered SQL instances.
    What is considered best-practice?  For clustered named instances to have dynamic or static ports?
    Are there any pitfalls to assigning a static port to a named instance that is a cluster?
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hi RobinMCBC,
    In SQL server the default instance has a listener which listens on the fixed port which is TCP port 1433. And for the named instance the port on which the SQL server listens is random and is dynamically selected when the named instance of the SQL server
    starts.
    For Standalone instance of the SQL server we can change the dynamic port of the named instance to the static port by using SQL server configuration manager as other post, however, in case of the cluster, when we change the port no. of the named instance
    to the static port using the method described above, the port no. again changes back to the dynamic port after you restart the services. I recommend you changing the Dynamic port of the SQL Server to static port 
    on all the nodes , disabling and enabling the checkpointing to the quorum.
    For more information, you can review the following article about how to change the dynamic port of the SQL Server named instance to an static port in a SQL Server 2005 cluster.

  • Migrate a SQL Server 2005 clustered instance

    Hi all,
    I've a 2 node cluster running Windows Server 2003, on the top of the cluster run two clustered instance of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise. The Windows Server 2003 are physical machine and the shared storage is implemented into a FC SAN.
    I want to migrate the 2 clustered instance on a new Windows Server 2008R2 servers that runs on new hardware (so no in-place migration).
    Is there a certified path for migration?

    Hi,
    thank you for the answer, I've just seen that web resource. I'm trying to find something specific for SQL Server, if it exists.
    Can you please explain your requirement. Did you read complete article ? As far as i can read you dont want inplace migration in that case get a new windows boxes and configure windows server cluster its fair simple and easy. Do you want document how to configure
    windows cluster ?

  • Error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication" on SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit SP2 clustered instance

    Hi there,
    I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 cluster which has 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 SP2
    instances.
    A domain account "Domain\Login" is administrator on both physcial nodes and "sysadmin" on both SQL Server instances.
    Currently both instances are running on same node.
    While logging on to SQL Server instance 2 thru "Domain\Login" using "IP2,port2", I get error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication". This happened in the past
    as well but issue resolved post insatllation of SQL Server 2008R2 SP2. This has re-occurred now. But it connects using 'SQLVirtual2\Instance2' without issue.
    Same login with same rights is able to access Instance 1 on both 'SQLVirtual1\Instance1' and "IP1,port1" without any issue.
    Please help resolve the issue.
    Thanks,

    When the firts DC restart finishied restarting every thing was Ok !
    The Question here : Why the cluster instance does'nt used the second DC ???

  • DPM failing SQL backups due to error: "the SQL Server instance refused a connection to the protection agent. (ID 30172 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990F85)

    I ran across this error starting on 6/4/2011 and have been unable to find the root of the problem.  In our environment, we have a DPM 2010 server dedicated to backing up all our SQL envrionment (about 45 SQL Servers total).  All of the SQL
    environment is backing up fine except for a SQL Cluster Application.  This particular SQL Instances is part of a 6 node failover cluster with 6 SQL Instances distributed amongst them.  The other 5 SQL instances in the cluster are backing
    up fine; only one instance is failing.  The DPM Alerts section shows this error when attempting to do a SQL backup of one of the databases on this SQL instance:
    Affected area: KEN-PROD-VDB001\POSREPL1\master

    I have checked the cluster node this particular SQL instance is running on using Perfmon and the machine is nowhere near capacity on CPU, memory, network, or Disk I/O.  I have failed this SQL Application to another node in the cluster and
    receive the same error (this other node has another clustered SQL application on it that is actively running as well as backing up fine).  The only thing that I am aware of that has changed is that we installed SP2 for SQL 2008 about 2 weeks prior
    to when the failures started to occur.  However, we updated all six clustered SQL Instances at the same time and only this one is having this issue so I don't believe that caused the problem.  We are running SQL 2008 SP2 (version 10.0.4000.0)
    on all clustered instances along with DPM 2010 (version 3.0.7696.0) on this particular DPM server that has the issue.
    One last thing, I have also noticed errors in the event log pertaining to the same SQL backups that are failing (but the time stamps are not concurrent with each backup attempt):

    Don't know if this helps or not, but I also noticed another peculiar issue that is derived from this problem.  If I go to "Modify protection group", then expand the cluster, then expand all six nodes in the cluster, five of them show "All SQL Servers"
    and allow me to expand the SQL Instance and show all databases; the one that is having a problem backing up, when I expand the node, doesn't even show that SQL exists on the node, when in fact, it does.
    I would also like to add that the databases on this node that will not backup are running fine.  They run hundreds of transactions daily so we know SQL itself is OK.  Even though it is a busy SQL Server, there is plenty of available resources as
    the SQL buffer and memory counters show the node is not under durress.

  • Can we rename the clustered instance and change its IP address?

    Hi,
    We have an Sql Server 2008R2 Clustered production instance by name 'ProdVir' configured in 2 nodes(Active-passive) with
    WIndows Server 2008 R2. We also have another clustered instance as disaster recovery by name 'VirDr' configured again
    in another 2 nodes of Windows Server 2008 R2. Every day morning there is mainatenace plan which backups all the database
    in production and another maintenace plan in the disaster recovery server 'VirDr' which restores the backups into the
    VirDr instance. I would like to know that in an eventuality of a disaster in the clustered production instance of 'ProdVir'
    could we rename the the instance VirDr(meant for disaster recovery) to ProdVir and also change the Ip addresses accordingly
    so that the application programs do not have to change the details for the datasource in the connection strings.
    Thanking you in advance,
    Binny Mathew

    Binny - Yes this is quite achievable, higher level steps (You also need to consider other operational checks):
    In the cluster administrator landing page, select your SQL Server Network Name, Press f2 or right click and select rename, give it a new name and then
    Take resource OFFLINE and then
    Bring it ONLINE back again, test your application
    Changing IP Address:
    Add one more Network resource with the new IP Address
    Then you add this IP address to the SQL Server group and set dependency accordingly
    Take SQL Server Application OFFLINE and ONLINE again
    Here you will end-up with 2 IP Addresses, you can keep both of them or remove the old one later

  • Server Network Address on Clustered Instance

    Hi,
    I am looking to configure database mirroring and as part of this need to specify the server network address. The primary instance is on a 2 node cluster and the mirror data base is on a separate instance on a standalone server. When creating the server network
    address on the clustered instance should i specify the hostname\IP address of the SQL cluster and if so do I need to do this on both nodes in the cluster?
    Thanks 

    Hello.
    You need to specify SQL server Virtual cluster name not specefic node IP or hostname.For outside application this virtual name acts as Single SQL server

    I can't figure out why the named instance does not work but the other one does. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Did you check with the ODBC test utility isql (it is installed by default when you install the unixODBC Driver manager) if your ODBC driver can connect at all to that named instance? I have some doubts that it will work either as there was a blog commented by a MS engineer:
    Introducing the new Microsoft ODBC Drivers for SQL Server - Microsoft SQLNCli team blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
    who states that named instance connections are not supported using that driver.

  • Is it possible to have different authentication mode for SQL Server Database Engine and corresponding SQL Server instance?

    Hi,
    I have installed the x64 SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with default settings and run MBSA 2.3 (using default settings too). It shows three SQL Server instances: MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS, SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS (32-bit). For the first, authentication
    mode is Windows, for the rest two - mixed. Here https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/03e470dc-874d-476d-849b-c805acf5b24d/sql-mbsa-question-on-folder-permission?forum=sqlsecurity question
    about such multiple instances was asked and the answer is that "MSSQL10.TEST_DB
    is the instance ID for the SQL Server Database Engine of the instance, TEST_DB", so in my case, it seems that MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS is the instance ID for SQL Server Database Engine  of the SQLEXPRESS instance.
    I have two questions:
    1) How can it be that SQL Server DB Engine instance has different authentication mode than corresponding SQL Server Instance?
    2) Why 32-bit instance reported although I installed only 64-bit version?
    Also, this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/6b12c019-eaf0-402c-ab40-51d31dce968f/mbsa-23-reporting-sql-32bt-instance-is-running-in-mixed-mode-when-it-is-set-to-integrated?forum=MBSA question seems to be related to this
    issue, but there is no answer :(.
    Upd: Tried on clean Windows 8 installation and Windows 7 with the same result.

      Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA.  Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create
    a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
    Does this make any sense?
    Any tips are greatly appreciated.  The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello M,
    Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
    is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
    I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
    Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
    Hope this helps

  • SCOM 2012 Installation does not show the SQL Server Instance for reporting services

    I have an issue when I try to install SCOM 2012 with the Reporting Server feature, so in the step that I have to select a SQL Server Instance I cannot do that, because as you can see in the picture no one option appears.
    In my scenario I have a DCSERVER, SQLSERVER2008 R2, SCCMSERVER 2012 and in other server I are trying to install SCOM 2012. I are trying to use the same SQLSERVER to SCOM 2012.
    Should I do other procedure on SQL Server before to continue? I will apreciate someone could say me what I need to do to resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Paul Mendoza.

    Hi Paul
    Can you confirm that SQL Reporting Services is installed on the server that you are doing the install.
    For a lab environment where you have SCOM Management Server, Web Server on one server and SQL Server on another you need to:
    - run setup on the SCOM Server and choose NOT to install reporting. The install here will create the OperationsManager database and OperationsManagerDW (reporting) database.
    - run setup on the SQL Server where SQL Reporting Services is installed. Then choose to install reporting. You should then see the SQL Reporting Services instance on the above window which is blank in your screenshot.
    Take note of the warning in that window - SCOM uses its own role based security within SQL Reporting Services and this can break other reporting. E.g. you can't install SCOM and SCSM reporting (SQL RS component) together. 
    Cheers

  • [Forum FAQ] Troubleshooting error "The specified SQL server instance is not valid" when installing SCOM reporting service

    Symptom
    If you have failed to install SCOM reporting service, you may encounter below error when you reinstall it:
    “The specified SQL server instance is not valid”.
    (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Reason
    This issue may be caused by multiple reasons, for example the reasons in Figure 1.
    However, you may find that SSRS and Report Server website are configured correctly and no SSL or proxy Server is used. In these scenario, you can open the log file under path
    to find the root reason:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles
    Later, you will find the error as below:
    ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportServerDisabledException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportServerDisabledException:
    The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key that is used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database. You must either restore a backup key or delete all encrypted content. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
    (0x80090016): Keyset does not exist (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090016)
    at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
    at RSManagedCrypto.RSCrypto.ReencryptSymmetricKey(Byte[] symKeyBlob, Byte[] pPublicKeyBlob)
    at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ConnectionManager.<GetEncryptionKey>b__2()
    --- End of inner exception stack trace ---;
    Solution
    According to the error message, you can delete encrypted content by following the steps below:
    Open SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
    Select “Encryption Keys”.
    Click “Delete” to delete all encrypted content. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    After that, we can install SCOM reporting service again, after successfully install reporting service, we should see the SCOM operation console as below:
    Figure 3.
    In addition, you may also encounter other errors when installing SCOM reporting service, and the troubleshooting steps may be different. However, we can also check SQL reporting
    service logs to find the root reason.
    Here are some articles that would be helpful for SCOM reporting service installation and troubleshooting:

    Hello,
    I'm afraid you must use a dedicated instance of SQL Server for each site(SCOM/SCCM). Some similar issues were disscussed on this forum:

  • Data modeler cannot connect to non-default sql server instance

    I've just started using DM, it installed and loaded fine, I got the jdbc drivers v2.0 from MS so that I can reverse engineer a couple of SQL-Server 2005 DB's.
    All worked just fine until I tried to connect to a machine with a named-sql-server instance.
    Normal way of doing this for sql-server is to add instance name to end of hostname in the hostname field, like this: "server10\inst01"
    but this gives me a cannot-connect-to-server10 error.
    I copied database over to a different server that has just a default sql-server instance and it worked fine. (both sql-server2005 and 2000!)
    I also tried the older 1.2 jdbc driver from MS against the sql-server 2005 named instance, no luck!
    I tried putting the instance name in front of the port number, that didn't work either.
    Am I just doing something wrong? or does DM need a special way of specifying the instance name on the sql-server host?

    Hello,
    you don't need instance name in order to connect. It's only host and port - probably named instance is not listening on default port. It'll be unfortunate if dynamic port assignment is used - but probably that won't be the case.
    I hope someone can tell you the port number.
