T-SQL Handle OLE DB Warnings

Question

I run this query as dynamic t-sql:
SELECT name from [ANYSQLSERVERNAME].master.sys.servers where server_id =0
I got something like this when server is not available:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "ANYSQLSERVERNAME" returned message "Login timeout expired".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "ANYSQLSERVERNAMET" returned message "A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible.
Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.".
The question is how I can handle this information in t-sql code, for example  insert it into table.

Answer 1

1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine.  For example
a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails
