SQL Server Web Virtual Machine A3 Standard Plan

I want to get a virtual machine to host a few web sites. These sites are all .NET-based, hosted with IIS and run on SQL Server Web Edition. I was thinking of getting a A3 Standard SQL Server Web VM.
1. I'd like a confirmation on if I'm right about what I'd be getting:
Cores: 4
RAM: 7 GB
Storage: 285 GB
Windows Server 2012 VM
SQL Server Web Edition pre-installed
2. What if 285 GB is not enough? Are the hard drives customizable and easily scalable?

Hi,
For your first question, we could find the detailed information at azure VM pricing:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/, and I agree with you. If the 285GB is not enough, we could consider attach a disk to our azure VM, refer to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-windows-attach-disk/ for more details.

  • Error when creating a database on SQL Server 2012(Virtual Machine)

    Hi,
    I create a virtual machine on VMWare Workstation 10, then install Windows 7(32bit), then install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise version.
    Then I write a Visual C++2008 program and using ADO to connect to the local SQL Server, with the connection string below:
    “Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;”
    The connect succeed, then I try to create a new SQL Server database by calling:
    m_pConnection->Execute(_T(“create database MyDatabase on primary (name = ‘MyDatabase’, filename = ‘E:\\MyDatabase.mdf’)”), NULL, 0);
    where E: is a USB drive plugged in.
    When running the above statement, I can even see the MyDatabase.mdf file is being created, but finally get an error and error number is 80040e31 when checking the error from m_pConnection, after analyzing the com exception, we find it reports the error as
    “IDispath error #3121”. Both errors seem to indicate a “Timeout error”.
    Then I try to create the database on the local drive in the virtual machine, as follows:
    m_pConnection->Execute(_T(“create database MyDatabase on primary (name = ‘MyDatabase’, filename = ‘C:\\MyDatabase.mdf’)”), NULL, 0);
    Then I get error number: 80040e14 from m_pConnection, and com error is “IDispath error #3092”
    What is the problem?
    Thanks

  • Install MS SQL Server Web Edition on a server with MS SQL Server Express

    Hi,
    We have a VPS cloud server on which there is an instance of SQL Server Express.
    Since we need more resources, I consulted with the hosting provider and they offered us to use SQL Server Web Edition (SPLA Lisence).
    My question is - the hosting company claims that it is not possible to keep the SQL Server Express instance along side with the  SQL Server Web Edition, and that we must do ugrade and remove the  SQL Server Express instance.
    This will cause us a long downtime, since there are multiple DBs on the SQL Server Express that we will have to backup, and then restore them one by one on the Web Edition after it is installed.
    Is this correct? Can't we install the SQL Server Web Edition Instance and gradually move the DBs to it?
    Thanks!

    The 50 instances per machine is a setup check rule as opposed to a hardware limitation.  From this perspective, there would be no difference between a VM or a physical server. 
    In the line from the documentation that you referenced, the "stand-alone server" refers not to VM vs. Physical, but instead a stand-alone instance vs. a clustered instance.  That is, in a non-clustered environment, you can have up to 50 instances.
    In the past when I helped with setup testing and automation, we'd run VMs with 20-ish instances, including instances from 2012, 2008 R2, 2008, and 2005, including multiple editions (Enterprise, Standard, Express, Web, etc.).
    One other potential option if your provider cannot support multiple instances is to do an in-place upgrade (edition upgrade) of your existing Express instance.  This would retain the current instance and upgrade the existing instance from Express
    to Web without the need to migrate databases.  Here is more info on the supported version and edition upgrade paths (including Express to Web):

  • Sql Server Web Edition Reporting Services errors when trying to connect to Windows Azure SQL

    I am using a preconfigured image from the Azure VM Gallery to create a VM.
    --> Sql Server 2012 SP1 Web running under Windows Server 2008 R2
    After configuring Reporting Services I get the following error when trying to run a report that connects to my Azure SQL db.
    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
    An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'SQLAZURE' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsDataExtensionNotFound)
    On the VM using SSMS I can connect to the Azure SQL db.  On the VM in Report Builder when I define a connection I get a similar error to the one above when I test that connection.  I am using Microsoft Azure SQL as the data source type. 
    Interestingly in Report Builder, if I proceed past the connection definition, I can see the tables from my Azure SQL db in the dataset definition page.
    One more note.  If I use a different image from the Gallery (Sql Server 2012 Standard SP1 on Windows Server 2012) my report builder connection works and the reports run fine.  I believe that the Azure documentation says that Sql Server Web edition
    is an acceptable choice for the SSRS on VM for reporting.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks -- Tom Reilly

    Hello,
    A VM with SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012 supports all Reporting Services features, including all supported data sources, customization and extensibility, and scheduled report execution and delivery.
    Did you run the report in Report Manager,or preview the report in Report Builder? Which version of the Report Builder you installed in the Windows Azure VM? SQL Reporting does not support reports created from Report Builder 1.0 or 2.0. You can create reports
    using Report Builder 3.0 and then upload the reports.
    What's more, please also check the database source credential of the report.

    How can I know the version of Application Server Java Virtual Machine?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thats easy. Your jdk/jre are located in the App Server home directory. Just run the java command under the jdk directory with the "-version" switch and it will provide you with detailed information about your VM.
    For example if you're doing it at command prompt it will be something like
    java -versionI hope this will be useful to you.

  • SQL Server Web Edition for SharePoint 2013

    Dear Expert,
    I'm not sure SQL Server Web Edition is ok for SharePoint Server 2013 or not. If I do in On-Premise or Azure.
    Please suggestion.

    There is no specific document that specifies that Web edition is supported.  However, if you look at the requirements list for SharePoint 2013 you will notice that it specifies that it must be either SQL server 2008 r2  with SP1 or SQL 2012.
     It also specifies the 64 bit version.  But it doesn't specify a specific edition.  That and the fact that it will run on SQL Express suggests that it will run on any edition of SQL as long as its 64 bit and a late enough release.

  • Speed of SQL server web edition is slow then express edition

    Hello,
    I have query regarding performance difference between SQL server express edition and web edition.
    There two server with same configuration (8 GB Ram, 4 core, hard disk has about 90 GB free memory), both server has only SQL server not any other software or programs which affect the performance.
    Software version as below:
    Server1: Windows server 2012 R2 & Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2430.0 (X64) web edition
    Server2: Windows server 2008 R2 & Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000. 0 (X64) express edition
    I have restore one database backup on both servers (So on both server database with same records) and executed some queries on both the servers, Result bit surprising because express edition is always faster than web edition.
    Then I have do following things but still result is same:
    Rebuild indexes
    Make max memory allocation same
    Please provide me suggestion to improve speed of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2430.0 (X64) web edition
    Thank in advance.

    So exactly the same plan for both. What does Profiler say? Same amount of I/O, CPU? If so, next step would be to eliminate the network and other paths out from the machine. If it is a SELECT, then you can add INTO into a temp table and see if you get the
    same performance. If so, you know the issue is with the data leaving your SQL Server ang getting to the client - those aspects.

  • How to migrate SQL Cluster into Virtual SQL server or Virtual SQL Cluster

    Hello All,
    Currently we will be attempting to migrate a SQL cluster of (2 systems) into are virtual enviroment.  We have been tracking the system requirements with Vmware Consolidation Tool and IO Meter to make sure our hosts have enough resources to accomidate this.  All the metrics coming back looks like it will run just fine virtulized as the cluster was just for failover purposes anyhow and not for performance purproses.  With that said a few questions have come up.
    1.)  What is the best way to virtulize this or to convert it (P2V)
         -  Should we just create a new Virtual Machine and install the same version of SQL and do a manual migration to the new SQL server and leave it as 1 SQL server with HA
         -  Or is there a way to P2V this kind of a setup ? if so what are the steps involved?
    2.)  If a P2V is possible I was under the impression that you will have to use a RAW mapping for the hard disks otherwise the cluster will not work ?  Can anyone speak to this? as I'm pretty sure I have clustered windows server 2008 without RAW mapping before but not with SQL

    Another quick question.  The Vmware SQL Clustering KB article says:
    vSphere MSCS Setup Limitations
    Before you set up MSCS, review the list of functionality that is not supported for this release, and any
    requirements and recommendations that apply to your configuration.
    The following environments and functionality are not supported for MSCS setups with this release of vSphere:
    n Clustering on iSCSI, FCoE, and NFS disks.
    n Mixed environments, such as configurations where one cluster node is running a different version of ESX/
    ESXi than another cluster node.
    n Use of MSCS in conjunction with VMware Fault Tolerance.
    n Migration with VMotion of clustered virtual machines.
    n N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)
    n With native multipathing (NMP), clustering is not supported when the path policy is set to round robin.
    n You must use hardware version 7 with ESX/ESXi 4.0.
    Can you not do clustering if your shared storage is iSCSI ? or can you not do RAW mapping with it to create the cluster ?

  • Windows Server 2012 Virtual Machine Failure

    I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 Host machine.  In Hyper-V, I created a WS 2012 VM. The VM starts out OK, but after a few hours of work (configure and install SharePoint 2013), starts throwing errors (Machine had to re-boot). Eventually, the VM becomes
    unstable and unable to re-boot. Last attempt threw this error in Hyper-V Event Manager:
    'BISP2013' has encountered a fatal error.  The guest operating system reported that it failed with the following error codes: ErrorCode0: 0x7A, ErrorCode1: 0x400207A0, ErrorCode2: 0xC0000185, ErrorCode3: 0x57BA6860, ErrorCode4: 0x40F4234.  If the
    problem persists, contact Product Support for the guest operating system.  (Virtual machine ID 7E140D89-25B9-4D3B-835B-7BB882C629BB)
    This has happened on multiple attempts occasionally ending with Error 0Xc000021a.  Creating WS 2012 R2 VMs does not present this problem.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

  • Hyper-V host fails with "RPC Server unavailable" error when I try to promote Windows Server in virtual machine to a domain controller

    Host: Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V and RRAS (for Internet over NAT)
    VM: Windows Server 2012 R2 with installed Active Directory Domain Services
    When I open AD DS configuration window (“promote this server to a domain controller”) many services and programs on my host (include Hyper-V, RRAS & Server Manager) fails with RPC Server unavailable error.

    Hello Aleksandr,
    There wasn't any configuration information, ipconfig /all, network setup, etc. So it's difficult to tell.
    More importantly, are you trying to promote the host server? If yes, that is not advised, for one, because it's a Hyper-V server, (not suggested at all), and two, RRAS is installed. RRAS is problematic with any domain controller because it turns it into
    a multihomed domain controller.
    Active Directory communication fails on multihomed domain controllers
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272294/
    Multihomed DCs (with more than one unteamed NIC or multiple IPs) with DNS, RRAS, iSCSI, Clustering interfaces, management interfaces, backup interfaces, and/or PPPoE adapters - A multihomed DC is not a recommended configuration, however there are ways to
    configure a DC with registry mods:

    Networking?
    I don't know how your networking is setup, whether there are multiple NICs on the host server, if they are teamed, if you have the host interface set to allow the operating system to share administration, or if there are separate interfaces for each. Can
    the host OS ping/communicate with the DC virtual machine?
    If there are more than one NIC, you have the choice to team the NICs and share the Teamed NICs for the Hyper-V OS and the VMs, or keep them separate where one is devoted for the Hyper-V OS, and one for the VMs.

  • Windows Service, SSPI, Kerberos, SQL Server on another machine.

    Hi,
    I have a TCPIP service running on SERVER which connects to a SQL Server that is located on another machine. (SQLSERVER).
    The client authenticates with the SERVER using the Kerberos security package successfully.
    the 3 machines are in the same domain.
    When the service is running under the System account, the connection to the SQL Server machine succeeds (I have enabled the "Trust computer for delegation" option for the SERVER machine).
    But When the service is running under a specific user profile (eg: USER1), the connection to the SQL Server machine fails with this error:
    Login failed for user 'AUTORITE NT\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
    I have tried toadd the "Impersonate a client after authentication" user right for USER1 in the Local Security Policy, but it does not solve the problem.
    Does someone know what is wrong here please?
    Thank you,
    Olivier gg.
    (Note: the "Forest Functional Level" of the domain is Win2000).

    Retried in a test domain with
    Forest Functional Level set to 2008, and figured out what to do.
    This page (How To: Use Impersonation and Delegation in ASP.NET 2.0, (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998351.aspx#paght000023_delegation) especially the
    Use Kerberos authentication and delegation part) helped me.
    However something remains unclear: I had first selected the "Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)" option for the domain user,
    but it did not work (Does someone know why?).
    I had to select the "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only" option and specify explicitely the appropriate SPN in order to have the delegation working.

  • Connecting to sql server database mdf file without installing sql server on client machine?

    I am creating a window application that need to use sql server database. I want to install this application to client machine without installing sql server so that my application can still connect to a database i.e mdf file that i will be providing at client
    system.
    How can i connect to a database(mdf) on client machine through my window application without installing sql server. ? I dont know is it possible or not.
    If possible what will be the connection string in that case. Database need not be used in network.

    you cant connect and view the internals of mdf file unless it being attached to a sql server instance as a database.
    The sql server instance can be installed in any box which is in the same domain and then you can connect from your application to it.

  • Content Server on Virtual Machine with VPN

    Hello everybody.
    I want to create a test-environment with a Content Server. Regarding to the needed Operating System I decided to use VMware Workstation to virtualize the OS and the Content Server.
    Host-OS: Windows XP Professional
    Host-IP: 192.17.1.151, Port 1090, not used
    Guest: Windows 2000 Server
    Guest-IP: 192.168.159.128, Port 1090
    Goal: The goal is to log in into the company-network, and connect to the local, virtual Content Server from the central SAP-System.
    Network:
    With VMware it is possible to use different types of network connections. I decided for NAT. With this it is used to share to host´s IP-Adress.
    Furthermore it is possible to create a Port Forwarding so that requests defined ports of the Host are forwarded to the guest/VM. For this I created the following port forwarding in VMware:
    1090 = 192.168.159.128:1090
    Tests:
    Now, I tried if it is possible to reach the port.
    1. Command on VM: telnet 192.168.159.128 1090 => Port available
    2. Command on Host: telnet 192.168.159.128 1090 => Port not available (That´s okay)
    3. Command on Hostt: telnet 192.17.1.151 1090 => Port available
    Result:
    When I am using CSADMIN to connect to IP 192.17.1.151 port 1090 there is the following error message: "Error in HTTP Access: IF_HTTP_CLIENT->RECEIVE 1 ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED"
    Test 2:
    I created port forwardings for the following ports: 80, 8000, 8080, 1095, 3200, 3300. Still the same error message.
    Test 3:
    I tried to use the Content Server directly in the Network without VPN. The Content Server works correctly, but this is not an alternative to the VPN-Connection.
    Question:
    From VMware-Side everything looks okay. I already discussed this with different specialist from a VMware Forum. But now I need to know, why it is not possible to connect to the Conntent Server. Port is available but it is not possible to connect to the Content Server. Have I forgotten something?

    Error in HTTP Access: IF_HTTP_CLIENT->RECEIVE 1 ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED
    Usually this error shows up when you icm paremeters have not been set, check that icm/server_port_0  is set with value PROT=HTTP,PORT=80
