Unable to set (ssl) certificate on a SQL Server 2012 clustered instance

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to encrypt the SQL Server communication with SSL but I can't add the certificate in the configuration manager. I've found and tried a lot of different explaination but none of them worked. I'll described what I've done and hope someone will point
out what I'm missing.
Here is my situation:
- SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition. Instance name = INSTANCE, FQDN = SQINSTANCE.mydomain.com. The instance is running under a customized service account: mydomain\sql_sa
- Two cluster nodes running Win Server 2008R2: NODE1.mydomain.com and NODE2.mydomain.com. Cluster itself is CLUSTER.mydomain.com
What I've done:
1) Asked the team in charge to generate a certificate issued to "SQINSTANCE.mydomain.com" with aliases to "NODE1.mydomain.com", "NODE2.mydomain.com" and "CLUSTER.mydomain.com". I get a certificate with "p7b"
as extension
2) Connect on "NODE2.mydomain.com" with account "mydomain\sql_sa". Opened MMC and added the certificate under "Personnal" folder. I tried to add it with "Current user" and "Local computer" settings. Saw both
on internet since I use a specific service account
3) Get the thumbprint of the certificate and add it under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.INSTANCE\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Certificate. (I triple checked to remove blanks or special characters)
4) Reboot the node
5) Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager, go to the network properties. Certificate does not appear in the list
I tried to check with certutil and saw the certificate in the output. Some guys talked about some private key but I don't see this particularity in my situation. I tried to check if the certificate is valid and, according to the criterias, it is.
Does anyone can help me with this?

Hi,
Are you sure you've got the certificate correct? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191192.aspx
To use encryption with a failover cluster, you must install the server certificate with the fully qualified DNS name of the virtual server
on all nodes in the failover cluster. For example, if you have a two-node cluster, with nodes named test1.<your
company>.com and test2.<your
company>.com, and you have a virtual server named virtsql, you need to install a certificate for virtsql.<your
company>.com on both nodes. You can set the value of the ForceEncryptionoption
toYes
In your case, shouldn't it be created for CLUSTER.mydomain.com?
Thanks, Andrew

SQL Server 2012 Express Instance is Not Discovered

I have a single SQL Server 2012 Express instance that is the backend database for a small door security application. I just noticed after having deployed the OpsMgr agent months ago that it never discovered the SQL instance. The SQL instance
is, as stated, Express, and it's the only Express instance I have. Is that why it is not discovered? All the documentation I found seems to indicate the opposite -- that Express is discovered and there are steps you can take to exclude Express
instances. I have no overrides set to exclude any instance or any database.
- System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM (no SP1, no R2)
- SQL Server 2012 MP version 6.3.173.1
- SQL Server is Windows Server 2012
- SQL Server 2012 Express running on a Hyper-V VM. Instance is named DOORSERVER\Eclipse
- Agent is installed and other discoveries seem to be working fine
- No discovery errors in the event log related to SQL, although there is one about the Windows Server 2008 discovery not being able to start, but I'm on Windows Server 2012, so I am guessing that's okay?
- No overrides are set on the discovery
- Discovery has found every other SQL Server 2012 instance (standard and enterprise editions)

Well, just realized I didn't have the latest MP. Upgrading to 6.4.1.0 version of the SQL MP fixed the discovery issue.

Creating a windows cluster 2012 for sql server 2012 clustered installation

Hello,
I am trying to create a windows cluster for sql server 2012 clustering on windows server 2012 R2 standard edition-64bit OS
when i perform the test after adding the cluster nodes i get this warning on networking.:Validate the servers can communicate
do i have to enable UDP port 1434?
I enabled ports 3343 on both the server but i still get the error.Please see the image below .Please suggest.
Thank you.

Do you have installed one SQL Server instance on the node?

"set deadlock_priority" not effective in SQL Server 2012?

I am trying to control which of two sessions is chosen as the deadlock victim in SQL Server 2012. I have set up a test that induces a deadlock by updating two tables in opposite order with a "waitfor" in between the updates. I can consistently
repro the deadlock and have code that will catch it and re-try the transaction.
However, when I run "set deadlock_priority low" for one of the sessions, it does not change which victim is chosen. SQL Server consistently chooses the session that starts last as the deadlock victim regardless of this setting. I have verified
that the setting is correct by selecting deadlock_priority from sys.dm_exec_sessions. I have tried setting the session that starts first to "low" and the one that starts second to "high". In spite of that, the second one is always
the one that gets chosen as the victim.
Is this the expected behavior?
Thanks,
Ron Rice

I didn't try extremely hard, but I was not able to reproduce the issue. Running in the Northwind database, I had this in one window:
SET DEADLOCK_PRIORITY LOW
go
BEGIN TRANSACTION
go
SELECT * FROM Orders WITH (REPEATABLEREAD) WHERE OrderID = 11000
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:02'
UPDATE Orders SET CustomerID = 'ALFKI' WHERE OrderID = 11000
go
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
and in the other window I had:
SET DEADLOCK_PRIORITY HIGH
go
BEGIN TRANSACTION
go
SELECT * FROM Orders WITH (REPEATABLEREAD) WHERE OrderID = 11000
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:02'
UPDATE Orders SET CustomerID = 'ALFKI' WHERE OrderID = 11000
go
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
And every time I tried, it was the first window that fell on the floor.

SQL Server 2012 - Clustered installation fails - cannot locate MSIs

Hi forum
I have a query relating to SQL Server 2012 installation, on Windows Server 2012 R2 - SQL Server is Enterprise, Windows is SQL Server Standard Edition.
Our windows team have created two Windows Server 2012 machines, and installed and got cluster services running.
We've tried the installation of SQL Server 2012 RTM, slipstream SP1 and slipstream SP2, and all come up with an error during the installation - I've even tried the trial version of SQL Server 2012 (SP1), just in case there is a media issue.
Immediately after the window which it is installing the installation files, we get the error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Failed to retrieve data for this request.
You'll see in the logfile of the installation below, that the installer cannot locate specific MSI files
e.g.
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x64\sql_fulltext.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x86\sql_fulltext.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x64\sql_dq.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x86\sql_dq.msi' does not exist
I've expanded and checked the ISO / IMG files and these files do not exist.
I'd suspect media corruption, however, the installer works fine on a stand-alone machine, and the same files are missing from two separate sets of installation media - so I think that rules it out.
If someone could give us a clue over what the problem is, we'd really appreciate it - we're trying to create a 2012 availability group setup, so need cluster services...
Many thanks
Carl.

Hello,
What the summary.txt log file says? Could you share the content of that file with us?
Have you tried to copy the media to a local drive, unzip the ISO file into a folder and run SQL Server setup from there.
Hope this helps.

Sql Server 2012 Clustering ?

Dear Friends, I want to configure clustering for SQL Server 2012 on windows 2008 R2 Sp2. I have two big questions:
1) Domain controller configuration is mandatory for SQL Server clustering?
2) Please share any link "if possible share best one"
Hopes you will support.
Regards
Irfan Ahmad

Hi Irfan_Lhr,
You post same question 3 times.Please avoid this practice on Forum, I have merged the same threads .
When you setup VM/host for cluster, you require installing Windows Operating System in nodes and Domain Controller. And domain controller is necessary because of domain environment. About SQL Server clustering, for setting up domain environment, you should
do the following things.
•Installing Active Directory on Domain Controller;
•Setting up DNS Server;
•Joining Cluster Nodes in Domain Environment.
You also need to note if there are no pre-existing Active Directory when you can deploy cluster nodes in an environment, there is detail about
how to configure at least one of the cluster nodes as a domain controller.
There is videos about setting up SQL Server 2008 cluster on Windows 2008, you can review them.

Unable to install SSL Certificate - ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time

Hi,
We are trying to install SSL certificate (Verisign Class 3) on iPlanet Web Server (version 7). However, at the final step we are getting the error "ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time"
We are following the below steps,
Under "Server Certificates" tab,
     -> Click on "Install" button.
     -> On "Select Configuration" click on "Next" button.
     -> On "Select Tokens and Passwords", select default token as "internal" and click on "Next" button.
     -> On "Enter Certificate Data", select option as "Certficate File" and give path to the certificate file which is having .p7b extension
     -> On "Certificate Details" we are getting warning as "Duplicate Server Details Found" and it's by default using the existing certificate's nickname.
     -> On "Review" page after clicking "Finish" button, an error is displayed saying "ADMIN4118: Only one certificate server can be installed at a time"
There are multiple sub-domains availble and the new certificate we want to install contains one more sub-domain.
So, say currently the subdomains present are,
1.abc.com
2.abc.com
so on...
and now we are trying to install a SSL certificate having one more subdomain say 10.abc.com.
Please let us know if you have solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
That error is most commonly seen when you are trying to install a certificate chain into the Web Server.
The chain should be installed using the "Certificate Authorities" tab per the following steps:
1) Login to the Admin Console.
2) Click Edit Configuration from Common Tasks > Configuration Tasks.
3) Click the Certificates > Certificate Authorities tab from the Configurations page.
4) Click the Install... tab from the Certificate Authorities (CAs) page.
An Install CA Certificate Wizard opens. The wizard guides you through the settings available for installing a Certificate Chain. Select Certificate Chain when prompted for Certificate Type.
You should then see the CA and intermediate certificate(s) listed in the security database.
If you have access to MOS, more details can be found in the MOS KM Note:
   Oracle iPlanet Web Server - 'ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time' When Installing Certificate Chain (Doc ID 1925025.1)

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:

Can SQL server 2014 instance be introduced into SQL server 2012 clustering

Hello, everyone,
We have SQL server clustering set up in place (it is actually windows clustering), I am wondering if it is possible to introduce SQL server 2014 instance
into this clustering. Please share us your thoughts and experiences.
Thanks

if you are talking about SQL clustering -(FAILOVER CLUSTERED INSTANCES) , yes, you can do that.
you have windows cluster with nodea,nodeb....and you can install two different instances of failover clustered sql - sql 2012 and sql 2014.
Hope it Helps!!

Migrate a SQL Server 2005 clustered instance

Hi all,
I've a 2 node cluster running Windows Server 2003, on the top of the cluster run two clustered instance of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise. The Windows Server 2003 are physical machine and the shared storage is implemented into a FC SAN.
I want to migrate the 2 clustered instance on a new Windows Server 2008R2 servers that runs on new hardware (so no in-place migration).
Is there a certified path for migration?

Hi,
thank you for the answer, I've just seen that web resource. I'm trying to find something specific for SQL Server, if it exists.
Can you please explain your requirement. Did you read complete article ? As far as i can read you dont want inplace migration in that case get a new windows boxes and configure windows server cluster its fair simple and easy. Do you want document how to configure
windows cluster ?

Is it possible to set up sql server 2012 alwayson AG for existing scom2012 r2 databases?

we have an existing scom 2012 r2 management group of which all databases are on a single sql server 2012 sp1 instance on a server 2012 r2 server. Now we want to utilize the sql 2012 alwayson feature to improve the HA and DR. Is it possible to add another
sql server 2012 sp1 instance on another server 2012 r2 server and configure the two to create AlwaysOn Availability Group for all three scom databases, and how?
Many thanks

Hi,
Microsoft recommends dedicated SQL clusters for the DBs. If you are trying to achive a common backend SQL for your SC 2012 DBs; check this great post by Cameron Fuller:
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/system-center-2012using-a-common-sql-backend-database-sysctr-scom-scsm/ – it should give you some pointers. Check out the SCOM 2012 sizing helper as well!
We can set scom 2012 databases in SQL cluster and install SCOM Report Service on different SQL Report Server intance. And RS instance cannot be clustered but can be HA. Failover clustering is supported only for the report server database; you cannot run
the Report Server service as part of a failover cluster.
Please also go through the below blog for more details about SQL alwayson:

Sql server with multiple instance

hi All,
i want to install sql server with two instance and i want to assign two separate is ips for both default instance and named instance and both should work like
two different server
note: If i logged with one ip(default instance) it should show its own databases not both or named instance databases
thanks
chintala

Hi chintala,
According to your description, if you want to assign the two different IP to stand for default instance
and named instance, I recommend you set up aliases on a SQL Server with multiple instances. For example, a physical server is named WinServer and 2 instances of SQL Server named WinServer and WinServer\instance1.
We need to add 1 IP addresse to the WinServer, there is one IP address already assigned to WinServer, 192.168.1.1, by adding one new IP's, 192.168.1.2 .
We need to move into DNS to configure our host names and aliases. The physical machine must be steup as a static IP in DNS. SQLAlias1, which point to the default instance on WinServer, will be setup as a DNS with an address of 192.168.1.1.
SQLAlias2, which will point to WinServer\Instance1, will be setup as a new Host (A) record in DNS with an address of 192.168.1.2.
When everything has been completed on the DNS side, you need to open up SQL Server Configuration Manager on WinServer and configure the protocols for each instance one at a time, restart the 3 SQL services.
For more information about how to set up aliases on a SQL Server with multiple instances, you can review the similar article.

Reports & Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB support policy

Hello,
Willing to move some databases into Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (2014) Express LocalDB, I have tryed to map some reports on that database.
Using OLE DB SQL Native Client (v11) and SAP CR RunTime SP10 (>SP9), I still have trouble when using this data source:
After drawing some simple reports (standard ones with 2-3 fields from the database):
- VS designer:
+ when "checking database" or "getting a preview" of the report, it always complains about missing tables.
+ when trying to "re-map" tables from one SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB to another one it fails, complaining about not findind resources.
- Running application (.NET 4.0, 32 or 64-bits):
+ without any change to the report configuration: CR Viewer complains with multiple error codes (17, ...) that it cannot find the tables
+ trying to change the configured database from the report: CR VIewer complains with some more error codes
=> Is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB now officially supported by CR ?
=> Is changing datasource/database configuraton during execution now officially supported by CR ?
Feel free to provide an any links / howto's / white paper about how managing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB with SAP CR !
Many thanks in advance.
Regards.

Don,
I did not want you to think that I am not willing to change anything...
The issue is that LocalDB specs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130822(v=sql.110).aspx) are not (seems not) fulfiled by what SAP APIs provide.
Following specs, I need to provide ADO DB/SQL Native Client v11 an "AttachDBFileName" property which, for LocalDB instance, is equal to the DatabaseName property (check below screenshot from MS Mgmt Studio connected to a SQL Server 2012 LocalDB instance).
Moreover, OLEDB discovery provide in CR 2013 UI this same list of "DatabaseName":
When connected, this same CR 2013 UI got the right "view" of connected "MDF-labelled" names:
Moreover, CR connected datasource properties also provide an "initial catalog" (databasename) value with that "MDF-labelled" name:
That is what I saw previously in API dumped objects and what I tryed to reproduce in my code:
As previously explained, after adding tables, I am also beeing able to add fields from those tables in my fresh-new report document:
It fikrst shows results in preview but as soon as I try to refresh / add some more fields / ask CR to "check database" / "change database source", the interface always complain about having "lost" objects:
Site note for Ludek Uher: CR 2013 StandaAlone fresh-new builded reports are not working neither using CR runtime SP10 when opening/updating that report..
So YES, I am OK to change whatever is required but please explain me what to use/put into the "crConnectioninfo.DatabaseName" property for a SQL Express 2012 LocalDB case.
Or leave it as is, LocalDB not being supported by CR ...
(all my reports & c# code are working well while using SQL Express 2012 "classic" (not localdb)).
Thanks again for your time.
Regards.
