Startup Setting of sql 2014 Clustered "SQL Server" Service

New cluster in testlab:
          Windows Server 2012 R2:  N1, N2 (node 1, node 2)
          Sql Server 2014 installed on N1, N2
          Storage server  (uses SMB share for Sql Data and Quorum).
N1 is active; N2 is passive. What is the proper setup for the SqlServer and SqlServerAgent
services on both boxes? (Should they be "manual" for both?)
TIA,
edm2
PS. I wonder if the startup setting option is used to implement the Active\passive state.

N1 is active; N2 is passive. What is the proper setup for the SqlServer and SqlServerAgent
services on both boxes? (Should they be "manual" for both?)
Hi edm,
In a two-node Windows Failover Cluster with SQL Server, one of the physical nodes is considered the active node, and the second one is the passive node for that single SQL Server instance. A single SQL Server instance can run on only a single node at a time;
and should a failover occur, the failed instance can failover to another node.
When we create a SQL Server Failover cluster, The startup type is set to manual for all cluster-aware services, including full-text search and SQL Server Agent, and cannot be changed during installation. Microsoft recommends that you configure service accounts
individually to provide least privileges for each service, where SQL Server services are granted the minimum permissions.
For more information, you can review the following article.

  • Down grade SQL 2014 to SQL 2012 server

    Hi,
    I have purchased SQL 2014 paper license but I want to use SQL 2012 server can we use same licensing for SQL 2012. Can we downgrade the SQL 2014 to 2012.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello,
    yes, you can downgarde you r SQL Server 2014 to 2012 Version. for Customers who have licensed software through a Microsoft Volume Licensing program are eligible to use prior versions of the software edition that they have licensed. This is known as
    a downgrade right.
    In general, the
    Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) provides download access only to the current (N) and the last (N-1) version of products(2014, 2012). however, as of December 2012, a limited set of N-2 and N-3 prior product versions remain available for download through
    the VLSC. for SQL Server you can also downgrade to 2012, 2008 R2 and 2008.
    Note: In addition to VLSC download software access, Volume Licensing customers can order physical media (CD/DVD) copies of their licensed software through the VLSC.
    if you purchase your SQL Server as FPP(BOX) product, you can also downgrade it to 2012 but you Need to have the media + key product of 2012 Version.
    thanks

  • The dreaded: The network address is invalid error - SQL 2014 Cluster on Server 2012 R2

    Trying to setup an SQL 2014 Failover cluster on Windows Server 2012 R2 (two nodes). Every time I get to the assign a SQL server Network Name piece of the setup I get the following error message:
    The given network name is unusable because there was a failure trying to determine if the network name is valid for use by the clustered SQL instance due to the following error: 'The network address is invalid.'
    This happens whether I use the Advanced cluster installation procedures or the normal installation.  I have tried the following based on anything I can find on the web:
    1) Removed the clustered MTDTC role.
    2) Deleted the NIC Team (4 1GB NICs).  Deleted all but 1 NIC from the server device manager.
    3) Shutdown the second node.
    4) Lanman Server registry change posted someplace on this forum that does not stick on reboot
    None of the above, separately or in combination, has worked to allow SQL 2014 to be installed as a cluster role.
    There is no virtual machines added to the cluster.  This is not a VMware installation.  It is straight Windows 2012 R2 with a two node cluster (setup identically).
    Any ideas, suggestions, comments?
    Thanks,
    -Andrew

    Hi Alberto and Lydia,
    The cluster was verified, there are only warnings related to a lack of redundant network paths as the cluster verification doesn't recognize a team of 4 nics are redundant.  I updated AD to include the permissions detailed in the link Lydia provided,
    still no go.
    I'm not sure how to attach the installation logs to this message forum other than as text in the message, so here you go:

  • SQL 2014 - current SQL Server edition is not supported by MDS

    Hi,
    we've installed SQL Server 2014 on a Windows 2008 R2 server with a namde instance for the database service.
    We also installed MDS 2014 on a different server and configured it with the MDS database on de before mentioned database server.
    The configuration gives no error, but when I go to the MDS site, I receive the error in the title.
    We installed CU #3 on both servers, but that didn't fix it.
    In related articles a possible solution is using a default database instance, but since we can't work with that, that's not really an option for us.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Tony

    Hi,
    Do you know what's licensing you are using? Any chances you are using "Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing".
    We fixed a similar issue in CU4. The symptom is same as "SQL Server edition is not supported by MDS".

  • When to user Availability Group versus traditional Clustered SQL Server

    Hi...
    I'm trying to get my arms around when to use an SQL Server 2014 Availability Group. Here are the characteristics about my platform:
    2 physical servers (Windows Server 2012 / SQL Server 2014)
    Both servers connected to same LAN
    External SAN storage connected DIRECTLY to each physical server via fibr3-channel. (No fibre-channel switch)
    Database resides on SAN storage.
    I've set up a failover cluster between the 2 physical servers.
    I've created a high availability group with a Primary/Secondary and synchronization.
    Both Primary/Secondary are green and show synchronized. The concern I have is that the Primary says Synchronizing (No Data Loss) and the Secondary says Not Synchronizing (Data Loss). When I use the Failover Wizard to failover, it tells me that I will have
    data loss on the Secondary.
    So my questions are these, do you need more than one Secondary node to have an effective Availability Group? If I only plan to have the 2 physical servers, should I be setting up a traditional Clustered SQL Server installation.
    I've used the traditional Clustered SQL Server in the past and used the Active/Passive licensing for the SQL Server software but the Always On Availability Group looked interesting to me, but NOT if it requires more than 2 physical servers and more
    than 2 SQL Instances (and licenses) to provide proper failover capability.
    All input will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brett

    Hi Brett,
    An AlwaysOn Availability Group is created between several standalone SQL Server instances, you don’t need to set up a traditional clustered SQL Server installation when configuring AlwaysOn Availability Group. Also you can have an effective Availability Group
    with only one Secondary node.
    From your description, you have an synchronous-commit availability secondary replica
    and it says Not Synchronizing. This issue can be caused by the following:
    •The availability replica might be disconnected.
    •The data movement might be suspended.
    •The database might not be accessible.
    •There might be a temporary delay issue due to network latency or the load on the primary or secondary replica.
    Please resolve any connection or data movement suspend issues. You can check the events for this issue using SQL Server Management Studio, and find the database error.
    Reference:
    Data synchronization state of some availability database is not healthy
    Availability databases in unhealthy data synchronization state (Error: 35285, Severity: 16, State: 1.)

  • Sql 2014 std use few memory

    i implement sql 2014 std on server 2012 r2   on hyper-v
    server has memory 30 GB
    but memory use few  about 16%  always
    i setting
    maximum server memory in mb = 2147483647
    minimum server memory in mb = 10240
    why sql service  not use memory more i think if use more is better performance 
    best regards
    chatchai-netd

    If you have 30GB at OS level then please configure the memory correctly...
    maximum server memory in mb = 2147483647
    minimum server memory in mb = 10240
    May be based on the load you can consider using 80% to sql and 20 % to OS or 70% to SQL and 30 % to OS ( but its all based on your SQL and OS usage ).
    If your sql is not using more memory then that means sql instance is not performing too many transactions and load is very less.
    Check what is running on your server and it will take memory and other resources based on the needs and work load.

  • SQL 2014 - Group Membership for sysadmin permissions not working

    I am using SQL 2014 on Windows Server 2012 R2 and am running into a permission issue. During the install I specified the local server's Administrators group as well as my specific domain account to have sysadmin privileges. 
    The issue is that accounts that are a member of the local server's administrators group can't even login to SQL Server Management Studio unless they are specifically granted permissions for their account (my domain account works fine as it has a specific
    credential in SQL).
    The log just gives the following error:
    Login failed for user 'domainname\username'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11.
    I haven't had this issue in previous versions. Is there something that must be done differently in 2014 to grant permissions to groups?

    Hi, something like
    this?

  • SSDT does not load after a fresh install of SQL 2014

    Greetings!
    I just installed SQL Server 2014. Interestingly, there is no Feature check for SQL Server Data Tools. After installation (installed SQL 2014 on Windows Server 2012 R2) I try to launch DEVENV.exe and get the error, "Invalid license data. Reinstall is
    required."
    How do I properly install and configure SSDT with the BI templates?
    Thank you.

    Hi George and Kevin,
    There is a similar tread on
    Connect which refers to the download location of
    Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013. Unfortunately the download is not yet available.

  • SQL Server Setup Failure 0x84B10001 (SQL 2012 SP2 and SQL 2014 Standard)

    I'm having a problem with SQL Server Setup. I had SQL Server 2012 R2 SP1 installed, and the SP2 installer would fail.
    I decided to just get SQL Server 2014. The setup (and system configuration checker) for that fails with the same error.
    SQL Server Setup failure
    SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
    '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 231747.
    Error code 0x84B10001
    I found this and other posts about similar problems that point at MSDE being the cause.
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/bc9f4949-1b45-427c-aa2b-d2222488a13e/problems-installing-sql-server-2012error-code-0x84b10001?forum=sqlexpress
    I definitely had MSDE installed, but I went through the steps to manually remove it and rebooted with no luck.

  • SQL 2014 cluster installation on mounting point disks error: Updating permission setting for file

    Dear all,
    I am attempting to install SQL 2014 fail over cluster under a physical windows 2012 R2 server which have mounting point disks.
    At the finish of setup I get the following error message.
    Could you please help me on this?
    Thanks
    The following error has occurred:
    Updating permission setting for file 'E:\Sysdata!System Volume Information\.....................................' failed. The file permission setting were supposed to be set to 'D:P(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(A;OICI;FA;;;CO)(A;OICI;FA;;;S-1-5-80-3880718306-3832830129-1677859214-2598158968-1052248003)'.
    Click 'Retry' to retry the failed action, or click 'Cancel' to cancel this action and continue setup.
    For help, click: go.microsoft.com/fwlink
    I am using an administrator account which have all security rights (cheched on secpol.msc mmc) needed for installation.

    Hi Marco_Ben_IT,
    Do not install SQL Server to the root directory of a mount point, setup fails when the root of a mounted volume is chosen for the data file directory, we must always specify
    a subdirectory for all files. This has to do with how permissions are granted. If you must put files in the root of the mount point you must manually manage the ACLs/permissions. We need to create a subfolder under the root of the mount point, and install
    there.

  • SQL 2014 FCI+AG on Clustered Shared Volumes design

    Hello,
    I was assigned the task to design a new SQL 2014 environment for my company. Our current environment consists of two clusters of 4 nodes each (8 nodes total for the two clusters) in two datacenters (let's say LA & NY).
    Each datacenter is both primary & DR for different applications. Each cluster is active/active and has 9 SQL instances - 1 DEV/2 UAT/4 PROD/2 DR. 
    We are using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 + SQL 2008 R2 SP2 FCIs for HA + DBM for DR, storage is symmetric, LUNs are coming from NetApp SAN filers. 
    Due to the consolidated nature of the current SQL clusters (some hold 100+ DBs for different applications), the new platform - Windows 2012 R2 and that one WSFC cluster will be used, I decided to go with a new build instead of upgrade.
    My plan for the migration to SQL 2014 is as follows:
    1. Evict two nodes from each cluster, the 9 SQLs in each datacenter will run on two nodes and I will have two nodes more per site to build the new environment. 
    Average CPU utilization for each node is 10-20%, total max memory of all SQL Servers per site is 256GB RAM, each node has 2 CPUs x 8 cores each with 256GB RAM. SQLs will still run on two nodes with reasonable performance.
    Since the same number of cores is used and we pay SA, there will be no increase in licensing costs for the time of migration to SQL 2014 and to obsolete the SQL 2008 R2 environment.
    2. The new cluster will consists of 4 nodes with Windows 2012 R2 (2 in NY and 2 in LA) and will have Node+FileShare majority quorum model with Cluster Managed voting enabled. 
    3. New SQL 2014 FCIs will be built (9 per site) and will use Clustered Shared Volumes + AlwaysON Availability Groups. Once the new environment is built, databases will be migrated by backup/restore.
    Since we will have AlwaysON FCIs+AlwaysON AGs I'm aware that automatic failover cannot be used and the complications with addition of data files on primary databases, that's fine (file paths will be different of primary and DR SQL instances).
    My question is - is this a supported configuration from Microsoft - AlwaysON AGs running on CSVs in a multi-site cluster? 
    I am aware that CSVs are something new for the SQL world, so what are the things I should take into consideration when building this solution? Are there any pitfalls to be wary of?
    Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,

    First, consider building a separate Hyper-V cluster in each data center, and running SQL Server in VMs. 
    In your proposed configuration if you loose connectivity between your data centers, half of your nodes will loose quorum and go offline.  It's simpler to maintain quorum seperately in each data center when trying to run active-active. 
    Hyper-V adds a bunch of useful stuff, like live migration, storage migration, and basic HA and DR without guest clustering.  And the implementation of Hyper-V on CSV is a very common pattern. 
    You can then present shared hard disks to your SQL VMs to create a FCI on a guest cluster.  See
    Deploy a Guest Cluster Using a Shared Virtual Hard Disk
    Or you can simply use stand-alone instances on the guests, and use AlwaysOn AGs for rolling upgrades and DR.
    That said, you proposed configuration is supported.  It's a variant of the solution outlined here
    AlwaysOn Architecture Guide: Building a High Availability and Disaster Recovery Solution by Using Failover Cluster Instances and Availability Groups
    The cluster would have asymmetric storage, with the nodes in each data center sharing LUNs (whether on CSVs or not), but the LUNs in a data center would not be visible to the nodes in the other datacenter.  You can and should use the same path names
    on the primary and DR instances, as outlined in the whitepaper.  This is important because otherwise file and filegroup operations will suspend the AlwaysOn data movement.

  • (BUG??) Team Foundation Server 2013 Update 4 Support for SQL 2014

    Scenario: On Windows 2012 R2 x64 I have installed SQL, Reporting Services & AS 2014 (applied all updates through Windows Update), SharePoint 2013 Foundation, and installed Team Foundation Server 2013 RTM (did not configure).
    Before configuring TFS, I applied Update 4 to the server (not update 1,2 or 3 directly). When trying to configure I get the following error:
    ==========================
    TF255146: Team Foundation Server requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 (11.00.3000) or greater. The SQL Server instance you supplied is version 12.0.2254.0.
    TF400403: The Report Server instance specified is version 12.0.2254.0, the minimum supported version is 11.0.3000.
    TF400070: A required version of a component is not installed on the application tier. You must exit the Team Foundation Administration Console and install a supported version of either SQL Server Analysis Services of the SQL Server Client Tools on the application
    tier to ensure that the Analysis Services object model is present for warehouse processing.
    ====================================
    My understanding is that as of Update 2 (or was it 3) that SQL 2014 was supported. However it appears if that particular update is not installed directly it bypasses the check. Can someone verify I am seeing the intended result or is this a bug?

  • Cannot get db mail to work via SMTP Relay for Office 365 in SQL Server 2014 on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Our company recently moved to Office 365 which mean our on premise exchange server went away as well with the move.  I am trying to configure my new sql server (OS-Windows Server 2012 R2, DBMS- SQL 2014 Std Edtion).  After some searching I found
    this article (http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/02/25/how-to-configure-sql-database-mail-so-send-emails-using-office-365-exchange-online-a-walkthrough.aspx) and have followed these steps exactly, but to no avail.  I did some further research
    on the SMTP relay I setup and found a way to test it (listed here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn592151(v=exchg.150).aspx at the bottom of the article).  If I drop the email.txt file in the pickup folder, it gets sent out no problem.
     I have configured my db email exactly as describe here(http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/02/25/how-to-configure-sql-database-mail-so-send-emails-using-office-365-exchange-online-a-walkthrough.aspx).  But keep getting an unable to connect
    to SMTP server error.  I have even tried completely shutting down firewall to see if that is the issue and multiple restarts.  Any ideas how to get this to work on Office 365?

    Hi,
    I followed this blog and got the below error message in the Database Mail Log.
    “The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2014-06-11T19:34:00). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay
    for [email protected]).”
    If you are getting the same error message, you can try the below steps to resolve the issue.
    1. Open the IIS 6.0 management console. Right click on the SMTP server and open the properties window.
    2. Click on the Access tab, click Relay button under Relay restrictions. loopback IP address (i.e 127.0.0.1).
    Then the email should be sent out from Database Mail without problem.
    Thanks.

  • Is there any way to activate the keep identity setting when using a Transfer SQL Server Object Task?

    Is there any way to add the "Keep Identity" option to the tables selected for transfer in a Transfer SQL Server Object Task?  It seems that would be very useful, yet I can't find an easily available setting for it.  I would prefer to
    accomplish this within the Transfer SQL Server Object Task since it can copy any new fields added to the source tables, as opposed to having to rebuild a custom Data Flow Task any time a table structure is altered.  I thought setting "CopyPrimaryKeys"
    to True would do the trick, but I found that only ensures that the column settings are transferred; when the transfer happens, the destination id column is populated based on the specified seed and increment value, not what's actually in the source table. 
    I'd like to point out that replication isn't really an option here. This is a package that runs a few times a day to keep some data on our website up to date with data in our protected corporate environment.

    IIRW there is FastLoadKeepIdentity specifies

  • Set SPN for a local SQL Server 2008 R2 Express database used for local "Offline Mode" application

    Hi - I have tried searching the web for tips on this situation. Basically, I am trying to recreate a previous employee's client Image. This image is used for one of our companies client application that features and "Offline Mode" where it connects
    (Using Kerberos) to the local DB instead of the central DB server.
    The custom image connects without issue. I cannot seem to recreate his configuration. I am sure of these things:
    - Both images are using the same SQL Server 2008 R2 Express version.
    - Both images have the same user accounts setup.
    - Both images have "Remote Connections" setup with TCP/IP enabled in the Configuration Manager.
    - Both images are joined to the same Domain server currently.
    - Both images has the SQLServer service set to use "NETWORK SERVICE" account.
    This is the error message I get when SQL starts up for the non-working image:
    The SQL Network Interface library could not register the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x54b, state: 3. Failure to register an SPN may
    cause integrated authentication to fall back to NTLM instead of Kerberos. This is an informational message. Further action is only required if Kerberos authentication is required by authentication policies.
    Thank you for any assistance given.

    Hi Gribbled,
    Could you please change the SQL Server Service to run under 'LocalSystem' account and restart SQL Server? Then check if the error still occurs. When the SQL Server service account is configured to use the LocalSystem account, the server will automatically
    publish the SPN.
    Alternatively, to work around this issue, you can manually create the SPN for the SQL Server Service account  using the SETSPN tool. For more details, please review this
    blog.
    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang
