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?

  • 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 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.

    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:

  • 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.

  • Install SharePoint 2013 database on SQL server 2012 SP1 cluster

    Good Day all,
    We are trying to install SharePoint 2013 database on a SQL server 2012 Enterprise with SP1 cluster (configured for mixed mode) but the connection is not working (times out). We can telent the SQL cluster network name on port 1433 and we made
    a UDL connection file, test the connection via windows authentication and it is working, but if we use the sql authentication it is not working.
    Also we have two SharePoint 2013 servers connected via NLB.
    Any idea about this issue guys?  

    event if 3355 means 3 things:
    The SQL Server might be offline.
    The SharePoint Foundation database access account might not have the necessary permissions to communicate with the SQL Server.
    A firewall that runs on either the local server or on SQL Server might be blocking network communications.
    Big question, how you trying to connect SQL  windows or sql authentication? is it throwing error on Config wizard or somewhere else?
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

  • DSC, SQL Server 2012 Enterprise sp2 x64, SQL Server Failover Cluster Install not succeeding

    Summary: DSC fails to fully install the SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster, but the identical code snippet below run in powershell ise with administrator credentials works perfectly as does running the SQL server install interface.
    In order to develop DSC configurations, I have set up a Windows Server 2012 R2 failover cluster in VMware Workstation v10 consisting of 3 nodes.  All have the same Windows Server 2012 version and have been fully patched via Microsoft Updates. 
    The cluster properly fails over on command and the cluster validates.  Powershell 4.0 is being used as installed in windows.
    PDC
    Node1
    Node2
    The DSC script builds up the parameters to setup.exe for SQL Server.  Here is the cmd that gets built...
    $cmd2 = "C:\SOFTWARE\SQL\Setup.exe /Q /ACTION=InstallFailoverCluster /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /INSTANCEID=MSSQLSERVER /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /UpdateEnabled=false /IndicateProgress=false /FEATURES=SQLEngine,FullText,SSMS,ADV_SSMS,BIDS,IS,BC,CONN,BOL /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=password#1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT=SAASLAB1\sql_services /SQLSVCPASSWORD=password#1 /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=`"SAASLAB1\sql_admin`" `"SAASLAB1\sql_services`" `"SAASLAB1\cubara01`" /AGTSVCACCOUNT=SAASLAB1\sql_services /AGTSVCPASSWORD=password#1 /ISSVCACCOUNT=SAASLAB1\sql_services /ISSVCPASSWORD=password#1 /ISSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /FAILOVERCLUSTERDISKS=MountRoot /FAILOVERCLUSTERGROUP='SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' /FAILOVERCLUSTERNETWORKNAME=SQLClusterLab1 /FAILOVERCLUSTERIPADDRESSES=`"IPv4;192.168.100.15;LAN;255.255.255.0`" /INSTALLSQLDATADIR=M:\SAN\SQLData\MSSQLSERVER /SQLUSERDBDIR=M:\SAN\SQLData\MSSQLSERVER /SQLUSERDBLOGDIR=M:\SAN\SQLLogs\MSSQLSERVER /SQLTEMPDBDIR=M:\SAN\SQLTempDB\MSSQLSERVER /SQLTEMPDBLOGDIR=M:\SAN\SQLTempDB\MSSQLSERVER /SQLBACKUPDIR=M:\SAN\Backups\MSSQLSERVER > C:\Logs\sqlInstall-log.txt "
    Invoke-Expression $cmd2
    When I run this specific command in Powershell ISE running as administrator, logged in as domain account that is in the Node1's administrators group and has domain administrative authority, it works perfectly fine and sets up the initial node properly.
    When I use the EXACT SAME code above pasted into my custom DSC resource, as a test with a known successful install, run with the same user as above, it does NOT completely install the cluster properly.  It still installs 17 applications
    related to SQL Server and seems to properly configure everything except the cluster.  The Failover Cluster Manager shows that the SQL Server Role will not come on line and the SQL Server Agent Role is not created. 
    The code is run on Node1 so the setup folder is local to Node1.
    The ConfigurationFile.ini files for the two types of installs are identical.
    Summary.txt does have issues..
    Feature:                       Database Engine Services
      Status:                        Failed: see logs for details
      Reason for failure:            An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
      Next Step:                     Use the following information to resolve the error, uninstall this feature, and then run the setup process again.
      Component name:                SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
      Component error code:          0x86D8003A
      Error description:             The cluster resource 'SQL Server' could not be brought online.  Error: There was a failure to call cluster code from a provider. Exception message: Generic
    failure . Status code: 5023. Description: The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.  .
    It feels like this is a security issue with DSC or an issue with the setup in SQL Server, but please note I have granted administrators group and domain administrators authority.  The nodes were built with the same login.  Windows firewall
    is completely disabled.
    Please let me know if any more detail is required.

    Hi Lydia,
    Thanks for your interest and help.
    I tried "Option 3 (recommended)" and that did not help.
    The issue I encounter with the fail-over cluster only occurs when trying to install with DSC!
    Using the SQL Server Install wizard, Command Prompt and even in Powershell by invoking the setup.exe all work perfectly.
    So, to reiterate, this issue only occurs while running in the context of DSC.
    I am using the same domain login with Domain Admin Security and locally the account has Administrators group credentials.  The SQL Server Service account also has Administrators Group Credentials.

  • The cluster resource 'SQL Server' could not be brought online error while in completion stage of sql server 2012 failover installation

    While installing sql server 2012 with failover clustering I got the following error:
    The cluster resource 'SQL Server' could not be brought online. Error: There was a failure to call cluster code from a provider. Exception message: Generic failure. Status code: 5942. Description: The resource failed to come online due to the failure of one
    or more provider resources.
    The two nodes of the sql server failover have been successfully prepared. The error came while running the advance cluster completion option.
    In the clustered events in failover cluster manager the following message is displayed:
    Cluster resource 'SQL Network Name (CPCTestSQLClus)' of type 'Network name' in clustered role 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.
    I have done various checking and the issue remained. I tried to start the sql

  • Types of cluster in ms sql server 2012

    Hi,
    I am not good in sql server, i got one requirement to migrate standalone ms sql server(which contains replications also) to cluster env, so i have few things to know
    1) what are the types of cluster available in ms sql server 2012
    2) any steps would be appreciated
    BR
    PGR  

    Hi PGR,
    Firstly, there are two types of clustering: Active/Active or Active/Passive. 
    In an Active/Active cluster there will be two or more nodes, each one “owning” an instance of Microsoft SQL Server. If one node fails, the instance it owns would fail over to the other node, running alongside (and contending for resources with) the other instance. Each
    copy of SQL Server acts independently. 
    If one of the SQL Servers in the cluster should fail, then the failed instance of SQL Server will failover to the remaining server. This means that both instances of SQL Server will be running on one physical server, instead of two. 
    In an Active/Passive setup, at least one node is not the owner of an instance of SQL Server. It is “passive” and only exists to accept a failover of a node hosting a SQL instance in the event of a failover. For more details, please review this blog:
    SQL Server Clustering.
    Secondly, you can follow the steps in this
    blog to move SQL Server from standalone to Cluster environment.
    Thanks,

  • Upgrading from SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2014 Standard Failover Cluster

    Goal: To upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014 in a failover cluster.
    Given:
    1) Operating System Windows 2012 R2
    2) 2 Virtual Machines in a cluster with SQL Server as a Guest Cluster resource.  The two VMS are called APPS08 and APPS09.  They are our development environment that is setup similar to our production environment.
    Problem:  When running the SQL Server 2014 upgrade, I started on the VM that was not running the instance.  I then moved onto upgrading on the node that was running the instance.  As soon as the install attempt to failover the running instance
    an install error occurred that it could not failover.  After many install attempts I consistently received the error
    The SQL Server Failover cluster instance name 'Dev01'
    already exists as a cluster resource.  Opening Failover cluster manager there is no record of a DEV01.
    New Strategy:  Create a SQLCluster called DEV07.  At the end of the Install I get 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exists.  Neither I nor my Windows 2012 guy understand what Resource the install may be referring to.  
    We do not see anything out of the ordinary.
    Any suggestions as to what Resource may be seeing the default instance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi PSCSQLDBA,
    As your description, you want to upgrade the default instance in SQL Server cluster.
    >> 'SQL Server failover cluster instance name 'Dev01' already exists as cluster resource'
    This error could occur when there is a previously used instance name which may not be removed completely.
    To work around the issue, please use one of the ways below.
    1. At command prompt, type Cluster res. This command will list you all the resources including orphan resources. To delete the orphan resource, type Cluster res <resource name>/delete.
    For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://gemanjyothisqlserver.blogspot.in/2012/12/sql-2008r22012-cluster-installation.html
    2. Delete DNS entries, and force a replication of DNS to the other DNS servers.
    For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://jon.netdork.net/2011/06/07/failed-cluster-install-and-name-already-exists/#solution
    >> 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exist'
    This error could occur when you already have MSSQLSERVER as a resource in the cluster, which may not be removed completely. To work around the issue, you could rebuild the SQL Server cluster node.

  • 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.

  • SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster Setup

    I have to set up a Lab Test environment for SQL Server 2012 with failover clustering. What are the most cost effective specifications for H\W & S\W.  AFAIK Apart of Enterprise edition, Standard edition can support failover clustering for upto
    2 nodes with one node in passive mode. Somewhere (Here) I got that it is possible to configure SQL Server failover clustering On SQL
    Server 2012 Developer edition. Also Is it possible to use Windows 7 Platform with SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition for configuring Always on Failover Clustering. Although I have researched alot, but puzzled. Seeking for experts advise. Thanks in advance.

    Yes you can configure and install in windows 7.. but make sure you have made all the proper updates as per the microsoft suggestion..

  • Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server 2012) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)

    I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
    single Windows Server Fail-over Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
    If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Fail-over Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
    I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
    If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Fail-over of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Fail-over Cluster)
    Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic fail-over in case of primary data-center outage?

    +1 to David's comment. I would not suggest to run a script automatically. During such failover you might have data loss and decision has to be made with business owners during disaster.
    During such situation, you need to start cluster service in force quorum mode (/fq switch) and then perform manual failover of AG to DR site.

  • Good device to put Instance root directory on a SQL Server 2012 Always On Failover Cluster ?

    Hello, I'm currently testing SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Failover Cluster.
    I wonder if I installed it correctly : I installed the software on both server with the instance root directory set to a directory on a cluster shared module.
    The reason why I'm not sure is because, when I wanted to upgrade from SP1 to SP2, I wanted to do it first on the passive node, but it failed for most of the components it had to upgrade. So I first upgraded the active node then failover and upgraded the
    newly active node.
    I installed SQL Server this way because our system admins don't like us to install in on C:\ for their own reasons (maybe backup, or something ...)
    I'm pretty sure there is something wrong. What's your point ?
    Thanks in advance.

    >I wonder if I installed it correctly : I installed the software on both server with the instance root directory set to a directory on a cluster shared module.
    Nope. 
    SQL Server 2012 and earlier don't support data files on CSV volumes (SQL 2014 does).
    And for any version of SQL Server the SQL Server instance directory should not be on a clustered disk.  The Installation is local to each node, so should be on a non-clustered disk.  It may be supported to put the instances in different locations
    on the same clustered disk, but I wouldn't recommend it. 
    Installing the SQL Binaries on C:\ is fine.  If you have another local volume you can also install them there.
