SQL Server 2008 Active/Active Cluster in sap

Dear Experts,
We are planning to install Active/Active Cluster in SQL server 2008 for SAP. Our landscape is with two servers. We needed the answers for the queries?
1. How we have to configure SAN storage hard disks?
2. How man disks needed for Active/Active cluster?
3. Is there any documentation available with screenshots?
Regards 
Prathish Philip

Dear Bala,
First, don't give new name to someone. I would prefer Balmukund.
We are new to cluster, So we are not aware what is the requirements? Our SAN team(EMC2) will do the configuration in SAN, But we have to give the requirement as how many disks should be shared for each servers etc.......Our requirement is as below.
for optimal performance of SQL, you would be in better position if one drive is given to each file. SAP should have guidelines on the same as it's their product and they would known their IO requirement better.
We have two servers and we will install SAP on both servers, If first server is down the second server has to automatically take care the application without down time( as per our knowledge we think this is Active/Active cluster).
This confuses me. You need to check how many SQL Instances they are looking it? Active/Active (I hate you use this term) normally stands for two SQL instances running on two separate nodes. There is nothing shared between them. Uri has explained it in best
possible way.

  • MS DTC not coming online on SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster

    Dear Experts,
    On a SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster, MS DTC cluster service is not coming online. It fails with below error message.
    "The DTC cluster resource's log file path was originally configured at: E:. Attempting to change that to: M:. This indicates a change in the path of the DTC cluster resource's dependent disk resource.  This is not supported. The error code
    returned: 0x8000FFFF".
    From the Component Services, we can see under the clustered DTCs, in the properties of the log file that it is configured for E drive. The 'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty. When I try to change the log file path to
    point to M drive I get this warning message.
    "An MSDTC log file already exists in the selected directory. Resetting an existing MS DTC log file may cause your databases and other transactional resource managers to become inconistent. Please review the MSDTC Administrator's manual before
    proceeding. Do you wish to reset the existing MS DTC log"
    Could you please advise if this is safe to proceed with this warning as the  'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty or would it cause any other issue.
    Thanks,
    MM

    Did you tried using wmi....win32_share
    $path = "location where to create the folder"
    $share = $Shares=[WMICLASS]'WIN32_Share'   # class in wmi for share
    $Sharename = 'Sharename'
    New-Item -type directory -Path $Path
    $Shares.Create($Path,$Sharename,0,255,$Sharename)
    $Acl = Get-Acl $Path  # cmdlet for getting access control list
    $Access = New-Object system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemaccessrule("Username","FullControl","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $Acl.AddAccessRule($Access)
    Set-Acl $Path $Acl

  • Sql server 2008 standard edition cluster adding 3rd node

    we have a 2 node active passive sql server 2008 r2 cluster. We plan to add a third node on temp basis to the cluster. As one old nodes will be removed. As standard edition of sql support 2 nodes, can we add third node to it ??

    Hi,
    There is no way to add a 3rd node without doing an EDITION UPGRADE from Standard to Enterprise. It is by design.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition supports up to two nodes in a failover cluster.
    Check out the following MSDN article for more information:
    Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 64bit Cluster Installation

    Hi,
    I would like to know if we can install a secondary cluster INSTANCE to share existing physical drive that has already been assigned to Default Cluster Instance.  
    We are having limited resources as such we cannot create new disk drive in order to assign this for new sql instance
    For info:
    Existing SQL Instance: SQL Server 2008 (32-bit)
    New SQL Instance: SQL Server 2008 (64-bit)
    Thanks,

    Sanjeev
    Hi if drives are already part of resource group or used by particular cluster instance you cannot share it. this is as per what i have read from your question. You can explain your query in details if you like

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0

    Hi Expert,
    I'm going to install SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 on my virtualized system (vmware) composed as: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition R2 + Tomcat. I have some doubts related to the DB version to choose.
    Due to the fact that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express is bundled with SAP BOE 4.0 I want to use this DB.
    However, I saw in the Microsoft Portal that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/product-info/compare.aspx)  that:
    Number of CPUs     1
    Maximum memory utilized     1 GB
    Maximum database size     10 GB
    These my doubts:
    1) Could these characteristics  generate performance issues for a production environment?
    2) Which is a typical DB size for a production enviroment? could be greater then 10 GB?
    3) Can I use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express  in a virtualized system (vmware)?
    Thanks in advance for collabortion
    regards
    gio'

    Hi Gio
    Remember that the BOE system database (or repository) only has a few tables in it, with really one main table that stores a reference to each folder, report, user, group, server, etc. on the system. So the table and the database itself do not grow very large. In the past year, we have done over 70 SAP BusinessObjects projects and I can't recall one where the database size would even approach 5GB in total, let alone 10GB.
    The reason for this is that the database only stores a reference to the physical objects and content within BOE-- the actual reports, universes, etc. are stored on the file system within the Input and Output file repository folders.
    And the memory constraints are not really an issue either with BOE-- the database itself does not come under much strain during the day-to-day operation of the server. If you believe that the memory may be an issue, you can always start with SQL Server 2008 Express and then using the new tools in the 4.0 CMC to monitor the memory usage on the server. If you need to, you can move the system database to another SQL Server edition, or alternately move the database to another one of the supported platforms, including Oracle, DB2, etc.
    Hope this helps!
    regards

  • Sql server 2008 r2 setup support rules missing cluster node

    i have error on install sql r2 there are problems in cluster node its failed on windows 8

    Hi ,
    Before you install SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows 8, about Microsoft SQL Server 2008 , you must apply and install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 or a later after the initial setup is complete. To install a SQL Server failover
    cluster, you must create and configure a failover cluster instance by running SQL Server setup. For more information, see:
    Installing a SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179410(v=sql.105).aspx

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Very Slow

    Hi,
    We have a multi-node SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster.
     I've noticed that the SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup is extremely slow and that it appears to only be using 1 of the 128 "CPUs" (i.e. in Task Manager).
    We use this for creating new cluster groups and alike.
    Is this tool only single threaded and is there a way to increase the performance? Our CPUs are 2.something GHz, we have 512GB of RAM and fast local disks.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    What happen if you slipstream the SQL Server 2008 R2 with the latest SQL Server 2008 R2 service pack? Maybe SQL Server setup does better after the slipstream process.

  • Install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise, dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2

    I install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise and dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2. Before install ADDC, I have logon SQL Server 2008r2 Success, After when i install ADDC is don't logon on SQL Server 2008r2 -->not success.
    I have uninstalled ADDC but i still can't login on SQL server 2008r2.
    please help me. it  is very very disaster!
    I think is loss account SQL server 2008r2!

    Hello,
    I stronly recommend you post the detail error message to us while you try to connect to SQL Server instance, it's useful for us to do further investigation.
    Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a domain controller, there are some limitations:
    You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member.
    SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
    SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail.
    On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account.
    So, I would suggest you try to open up Windows Services list and changed the account for SQL Server service.

  • Apply monthly Windows 2008 r2 updates within SQL Server 2008 cluster

    Hello is applying Windows updates within 2 node SQL Server 2008 cluster (active-passive) as simple as download/install the windows update on the passive node, then failover, then apply on other node, and then fail back over ?...or are there other needed/recommended
    steps ?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply Shanky_621 much appreciated.
    In your link provided http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174799 it looks like the steps order is slightly different from this link of
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731291.aspx which mentions...
    "...where the recommended sequence is to move all services and applications off of the node, pause the node, then apply software updates to the node."
    ...does it matter which is done first ('Pause' or 'move Services/Application') or can I simply go to the Passive node (say 'B' where there are no Services or Applications currently on it), 'Pause' it, apply the Windows updates, then 'Resume' it, &
    reboot ?

    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...).

    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.

    I am in the process of setting up failover cluster using SQL Server 2008  (64Bit) Enterprise on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64Bit) I have completed almost all the works but I got few questions regarding MSDTC configuration whether the MSDTC disk should
    be assigned from SAN or it should be local to the disk ,  Separate disk for each nodes in the cluter or 1 disk to be used across all the servers for MSDTC in windows fail over cluster.
    With regards, Gopinath.

  • SQL Server 2008 compatibility with SAP PI 7.0

    Hi All
    Scenario is like this:
    XI is fetching data from SQL Server.
    Previously we were using SQL Server 2005 and XI was successfully fetching data from it.
    Communication channel setting:
    JDBC Driver : com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    Connection : jdbc:sqlserver://10.10.100.180;user=abc;password=xyz;database=CUSTOMER
    Two days back SQL team uninstalled SQL Server 2005 and installed SQL Server 2008
    After doing this XI stopped fetching data from SQL and error is "Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:sqlserver://10.10.100.184;user=sqluser;password=india123;database=CUST_HO' using the JDBC driver 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver': 'com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.sql.DriverManagerException: Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:sqlserver://10.10.100.184;user=sqluser;password=india123;database=CUST_HO': com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The server version is not supported. The target server must be SQL Server 2000 or later."
