Witness Server in a failover cluster

Hi.
I was reading about this witness server in a failover cluster but always thought that the switch between active and passive would be automatic, never thought of a "vote" and a "quorum" to reach.
Under what circumstances do I need this quorum (and therefore a witness server) and what happens if I am even?
Does a witness server have necessarily to be a third one or can be set up as either the active or the passive one?
Cheers

Hi,
In addition to Jared's suggestion, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. The witness server and its directory are used only for quorum purposes where there's an even number of members in the DAG.
2. The witness server should be in the same Active Directory forest as the DAG.
3. It is recommended to specify a Client Access server as the witness server for Exchange 2013 DAG.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy

Install SQL Server 2012 SP1 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Failover Cluster - hangs at "Running discovery on remote machine" on VMWare VSphere 5.5 Update 1

MS DTC not coming online on SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster

Dear Experts,
On a SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster, MS DTC cluster service is not coming online. It fails with below error message.
"The DTC cluster resource's log file path was originally configured at: E:. Attempting to change that to: M:. This indicates a change in the path of the DTC cluster resource's dependent disk resource. This is not supported. The error code
returned: 0x8000FFFF".
From the Component Services, we can see under the clustered DTCs, in the properties of the log file that it is configured for E drive. The 'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty. When I try to change the log file path to
point to M drive I get this warning message.
"An MSDTC log file already exists in the selected directory. Resetting an existing MS DTC log file may cause your databases and other transactional resource managers to become inconistent. Please review the MSDTC Administrator's manual before
proceeding. Do you wish to reset the existing MS DTC log"
Could you please advise if this is safe to proceed with this warning as the 'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty or would it cause any other issue.
Thanks,
MM

Did you tried using wmi....win32_share
$path = "location where to create the folder"
$share = $Shares=[WMICLASS]'WIN32_Share' # class in wmi for share
$Sharename = 'Sharename'
New-Item -type directory -Path $Path
$Shares.Create($Path,$Sharename,0,255,$Sharename)
$Acl = Get-Acl $Path # cmdlet for getting access control list
$Access = New-Object system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemaccessrule("Username","FullControl","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$Acl.AddAccessRule($Access)

Server 2008 R2 Failover cluster network configuration

Hi
We have a customer with a Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V failover cluster. They have 2 cluster networks, "Cluster Network 1" and "Cluster Network 2".
"Cluster Network 1": NIC team on 172.16.1.0/24 for private cluster network communication
"Cluster Network 2": NIC team on 192.168.1.0/24 for production network communication
I can see that "Cluster Network 1" is configured to "Allow cluster network communication on this network" and "Allow clients to connect through this network".
If "Cluster Network 1" is ONLY for communication between the to cluster nodes then I assume the selection in "Allow clients to connect through this network" should be removed?
/Lasse

It will cause a lost network connection for any client that is accessing through that network. Those clients would need to reconnect.
Did you configure both IPs on the cluster resource name that clients are accessing? If you only configured the one you want, there should be no issue. If you configured both, then it is possible some clients might be connected via the private
network.
Another thing you should, and if you have already done this you will most likely not have issues at all, is that you should disable DNS registration on any network you do not want client access coming through. If the clients can only find the resource
through the DNS name registered, that is the way they will be coming in. In my clusters, which often have 7 or more NICs, there is only one with a published DNS record.

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.

Michelle Li

Server 2008 R2 failover cluster for DFS servers

A new client currently has a couple Server 2008 R2 failover clusters (one at each of their two primary sites) as their two hub DFS locations. I'm confused, and can't see much of a reason for this implementation, which only seems to introduce added complexity
with no real benefits. Here are my reasons:
- At each site, the servers in the failover clusters are on the same server VM farms, hosted on the same SAN's.
- The data hosted on each node of the clusters are not identical. For example, server1 has 25 DFS replicated folders and server2 has 20 replicated folders. In fact, the ~25 folders on server1 are all named <site>-user, and the ~20 folders on server
2 are <site>-data. There appears to be no crossover.
So if the SAN fails, they're screwed. If the VM host fails, they're screwed. Why not just have two DFS servers at each site for redundancy within each site, and replicating with other site DFS servers as needed? I'm not super strong with failover clustering
at all though, so I may easily be missing something.

Hi Steve,
From the description, as you said it seems create more factors which may cause a failure.
Using DFS on cluster could eliminate the possible of a single failing VM. However if the VM host is down, which will still leads to a failure. So actually the risk is still them same as just creating DFS namespace on these 2 VM hosts or any other file server.

Adding a server into a failover cluster

Hi all, i have the following question:
i have a Failover Cluster with 3 servers and now i have to add another server. The cluster is in a pruction environment and the service cant be cut off during working hours. Adding this new server will cut off this service?. And which are the steps i should follow to complete this task?.
Thanks in advance
Dj

Thanks for the reply. I have installed the latest VMWare tools and it hasn't fixed my issue. It's just weird. I've set this up multiple times using Sun Fire Servers or IBM Servers (non virtualized) and it's worked flawlessly. But using ESXi each one has had the same issue. Four instances each with differing hardware. I will try to look at netstat and see what I find. I'm pretty sure if the switch port was shutting down due to errors that just rebooting the server wouldn't clear it. I think you have to manually reset the switch port after something like that occurs. Anyways I will check the switch logs and see if I see something there also.
In my test environment I use VMWare Server 2.0 and I've never had this issue using that platform. I'm currently doing an install where they are using ESX servers and it's ran perfectly so far, albeit with a small load compared to what it will be. Almost wondering if it could be something with ESXi. I didn't think there was much of a difference at the base level between ESXi and ESX. I will check out the link you sent and proceed with Oracle tech support. They want me to run ut_gather, etc. on the server right after it fails. Problem is they are all running live production in a hospital environment so it's difficult to schedule a time when I can enable the second server and wait for it to fail. Again, thank you very much for your input and please let me know if you think of something else to check.

Mac10.x client can't connect to File Server on Windows2008 Failover Cluster

Installation of a cluster was made according to the document "Failover Cluster Step-by-Step Guide: Configuring a Two-Node File Server Failover Cluster " http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844.aspx.
My Mac OS X 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 clients be able to connect to a non-cluster file server on a Windows 2008 (the File Services role) and also to old file cluster on a Windows 2003.
Why Mac clients can't connect to Windows 2008 Failover Cluster?

Are you running a firewall on the Macs. If yes does it work with out the firewall? If it works with out the firewall that means you will have to create a custom ipf rule which includes the both the physical an virtual IP addresses of your cluster.

Unable to create a clustered VM using Remote Server Administration Tools - Failover Cluster Manager

Hi
I am using two Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 and a single WS2012 Datacenter Edition with GUI Interface for management purpose.
I have installed Failover Clustering feature on these two Hyper-V servers and remote server administration tools for Failover Clustering on WS2012 DC Edition with GUI.
I have created cluster using powershell cmdlets on Hyper-V server because I was unable to create a cluster using RSAT-Failover Clustering (May be some privileges issues).
The problem is " I am still not able to create a Hyper-VM using Failover Cluster Manager on WS2012 DC Edition server". It gives me an error "Invalid operation"
Any Help regarding this issue will be very appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.....
Abhinav | MCTS-Server Virtualization

Thanks Tim for your response but atleast I should be able to create and configure VMs for high availability.
I think this is not the issue which I am facing. It gives me an error "invalid class". There is something missing.
Please check and let me know if it can be solved. Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

RBS Licensing on a SQL Server Standard 2012 Failover Cluster

I am planning to implement a Sharepoint 2013 installation which is primarily to be used for Document Storage. We are considering using Sharepoint RBS with Filestream with SQL 2012 Standard and as far as I can see on our non-production environments this works
without any issue - i.e. we enable filestream and RBS with Sharepoint and SQL and everything works as expected on our non production systems. In non production we have single SQL Server nodes.
However, in production we have planned to have a 2 node SQL 2012 Standard failover cluster.
On this page, it indicates
"To run RBS on a remote server, you must be running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise on the server that is running SQL Server where the
metadata is stored in the database."
My question is : Am I entitled to use RBS with Filestream on a SQL 2012 Standard Failover Cluster, or is SQL Enterprise required.
If enterprise is required, we will have to remove the RBS. I have reviewed the links below, but cannot see a definitive answer from a licensing perspective

Hi antrimcoaster,
Indeed, in Microsoft official document, all SQL editions (Express, Standard, Enterprise…) of SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008R2 support RBS (Remote Blob Store), however, as your post, if you run RBS on a remote server, we recommend you use Enterprise
version especially you want to deploy Remote BLOB Storage with SQL Server 2012 in Production environment. Usually, Enterprise edition is more for mirroring, supporting more RAM/CPU, and custom RBS providers and multiple nodes cluster.
If you had setup and configured RBS successfully with SQL Server 2012 standard, and now you need to want to upgrade to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise, I recommend you reconfigure your blob store, you can review the following similar article.
https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/axdilip/archive/2012/10/22/configuring-and-implementing-sharepoint-2010-rbs-remote-blob-storage-with-sql-server-2012-part-1.aspx

MS- WIN SERVER 2008-R2 FAILOVER CLUSTER --ERROR 1127 ,1583

DEARS ,
I HAVE BEEN FACING PROBLEM FOR MY WINDOWS FAIL OVER CLUSTER SCENARIO.
THE ERROR CODES ARE 1127 AND 1583 WHICH ARE STATING THAT
All nodes IPv4 networks should be configured properly.
Nodes which are using Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) for adapter Cluster.will not be added to the Windows Failover Cluster. If the adapter is to be used by Windows Failover Cluster, the IPv4 properties of the adapter should be changed to allow assignment
of a valid IP address that is not in the APIPA range.
However , I have checked that all of my NIC adapters have valid Static IP addresses. Also , when one of the nodes is down ,it cannot look for another node.
Please advise for the solution.

Hi,
Could you clarify your described “Nodes which are using Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) for adapter Cluster.will not be added to the Windows Failover Cluster.” Did you
found one of your cluster node “automatically” have the APIPA address? If so, it seems is the IP conflict issue.
If it is not the IP address conflict issue, please try to disable your all the nodes firewall
or AV soft have the event 1583 typically cause by this function incorrect configured.

Server 2012 R2 failover cluster

Hi Guys,
I created a 2 node cluster using server 2012 R2 ..I have VMM 2012 R2 running on both nodes with SQL 2012 SP1
VMM is configured for High availability and SQL always-on feature is also enabled.
Now when I stop cluster service on one of the node, the roles and quorum disk failover to the other node but the quorum disk does not come back online and as a result the cluster fails until I bring back the cluster service on the current owner (owner of
the quorum disk)
I'm at a loss for what to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Richard

Hi Guys,
when i run the said commands on both nodes I get the same result ..see below
Validation report shows no warning on the quorum disk
VMM and SQL are not on hyper-v hosts. I have 2 physical machines, each running VMM 2012 R2 (HA) and SQL 2012 SP1 (Always On). Do you believe hosting both on the same server could be the issue? I will look that up too.
The cluster is fine when Node2 owns the quorum disk.
Roles on Node1 successfully fail over to Node2 when I stop cluster service on Node1
When I stop Cluster service on Node2 roles on Node2 move to Node1 (including the quorum disk) but the Disk fails to come online and as a result quorum is lost and the cluster fails until I resume cluster service on Node2.
It looks to me like Node2 owns the quorum Disk explicitly ..
..forever is just a minute away*

0x0000007a Error for VMS inside a Hyper-V server in a failover cluster

Hi All,
This is my first time posting a question on this forum. Will provide more details if necessary.
Would appreciate any help for the below problem:
We have two servers operating on Win 2012 R2 datacenter. However one of them(host2) had all it's VMs crash with error code 0x0000007a. While the OS of the host itself was ok in a sense, trying to run any application or opening windows explorer would result
in a hang, We can still use ctrl+alt+delete to log off.
Both servers have been installed with similar windows update patches, and all the configurations are the same. However Host01 is running fine.
Booting on safe mode let's us run the server fine. Did a chkdsk /r and it found some errors on the disk, I did a restart to let it try and fix the issue but issues are still the same.
Dell hardware check came up with nothing.
Thank you!
Anton

Hi
Can you check if there are any hardware errors logged in event viewer?
Perhaps you have a faulty memory module. I had a similar issue with my host and it ended up being a combination of reseating the ram and replacing the Quad network adapter.
Are both you dells on the latest SUU?

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

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.

SQL Server Agent fails to connect to DB after enabling mirror on failover cluster

Hello:
We have multiple databases running in a Failover Cluster instance: SQL 2012SP1 on Server 2008 R2 failover cluster (NOT AlwaysOn). We are trying to add a high-performance mirror in a standalone instance for DR. My understanding is that should be a perfectly
normal, supported configuration.
The mirroring is working properly; however, the clustered SQL Server agent is unable to run jobs that run in the mirrored databases.
We get the following in the job log: Unable to connect to SQL Server 'VIRTUALSERVERNAME\INSTANCE'. The step failed.
There is a partner message in the agent log: [165] ODBC Error: 0, Connecting to a mirrored SQL Server instance using the MultiSubnetFailover connection option is not supported. [SQLSTATE IMH01]
The cluster is not a mulitsubnet cluster. All hosts are connected to the same subnets and there is no storage replication. I can not find any place where I can adjust the connect string options for SQL Agent.
Any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

SQL Team - MSFT:
Thank you for taking the time to research and provide a clear answer.
This seems very much a workaround and very unsatisfactory.
You are correct, there is an IP dependency with OR condition. Moving to an AND condition is not viable for us. The whole point is to provide network redundancy. With an AND condition, if EITHER network interface fails, the service will go offline or fail
to come online without manual intervention. This is arguably worse for uptime than having a single interface available.
We are in process of rewriting all our SQL jobs to start in tempdb before transitioning to the appropriate target database. If this works for all of our jobs, I will mark the above response as answer.
Again, thank you for the answer.
Regards,
Joe M.
