Looked at the system log to see if there are any errors , but could not found any during that time....The last message in the system log was

Time: 5:03:04 PM
User: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM

Description:

before that there were messages of creating and deleting the printer...and R6911497-XP is my laptop which was not really running during that time...



From some research came to know that this might be because of network issues, but let me know for what errors I need to look for network issues...does the above error in the system log suggests network errors...



Any help is appreciated...

How To Upgrade SQL Server 2000 Cluster To SQL Server 2005 Cluster(Database)

May 8, 2007

Hi



We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.



Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?



Thanks

Upgrading A SQL Server 2000 Cluster To A SQL Server 2005 Cluster

Dec 28, 2007



We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2000 Server to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server at the same time. We want to keep downtime to a bare minimum.

What we were thinking was the following steps... Anyone try this?

1. Break the link between the servers.

2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.

3. Restore a copy of a backup from the active production side to the node we're upgrading and at that point we would bring the active node down, switching the active node to be the newly upgraded server.

4. As a final step, the old active node would now have the link to it broken, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on it and sql server 2005. At this point we would bring it back into the cluster and the cluster would be complete again.

Thoughts?

Cannot Install SQL Server 2005 On A Windows 2003 Cluster In Virtual Server 2005

Jun 5, 2006

I
am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set
the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one
virtual domain. The nodes can connect to each other as well as the
physical machine. When I try to install a fresh copy of SQL 2005 on my
cluster, I get an error every time. The
error stops the installation while checking system configuration after
installing prerequisites. The log file entry is as follows:

Access Denied To Cluster Storage When Restoring 2005 Full Text DB To 2014 Cluster

Jun 10, 2015

I am in the process of moving databases from a SQL 2005 Standard version to a 2-node 2014 cluster.All of my 2005 databases back up successfully.They all restore without issue except for one database that has a full text catalog. I get this message

Msg 7610, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Access is denied to "fileStoragedataMSSQLSERVERFullTextCatalog", or the path is invalid.

SQL Server 2005 On A Cluster

Feb 10, 2006

We are trying to install SQL Server on a cluster that has 4 nodes, 3 of them running SQL2k. We're getting an error in the setup after it is done with Framework:

Failed to find property "ComputerList" {"SqlComputers", "", ""} in cache
... Source File Name: datastoremachineconfigscopeproperties.cpp
Compiler Timestamp: Wed Aug 24 13:40:04 2005
Function Name: SqlInstallConfigScope.InstanceName
....-
Error: Could not find an install of type 3 for instance SQL ##

We think it's due to a directory and item in the registry for a server instance we used to run on this server, but no longer due as it was uninstalled and the server moved to this cluster. The directory doesn't show in other nodes in the cluster, but does in the cluster it was moved from. We continue to find that 2nd instance refuses to failover to this server also. We have determined that it€™s only the SQL server which is having issues as we were able to move the disks over. When we start the SQL service it pops back to 2nd instances home server.

SQL Server 2005 SP2 Cluster

Mar 11, 2008

I have a two node failover cluster with SQL 2005 installed. I am running Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise and SQL 2005 x64 Enterprise. When I try the SP2 upgrade, I basically get an error message saying no passive nodes were succesfully patched. I have tried installing from the active node and the virtual server, same results with both. I have also tried the LMHOSTS file addition that Microsoft recommends, but that didnt solve the problem either. We do have an MSDTC Resource set up, as I have read this may cause problems, but it still doesnt work.

I dont know what to do next, any ideas?

SQL Server 2005 Fail Installation On Cluster

Sep 27, 2007


Hi,

A few months ago, I was trying to install SQL Server 2005 SP2 on a cluster (Active-Active), the Cluster has 3 instances, 2 lives in one node and the other one in the other node. When I try to make the deployment an error message appear, I do not have the error right now but it€™s something like €śCould not connect to the passive node, installation failed€?. The worst part of the error was all instances shut down and I couldn€™t bring on line and I have to reinstall all instances. I need to install SP2 but I€™m a little afraid fail again. Do you know the best way to deploy the SP2 on a cluster? Maybe move all instances in one node before install SP2? Can you help me with your comments. Do you think I have problems with the windows cluster?

Thanks and Regards,

SQL Server 2005 Fails While Installing On A Cluster.

Jan 23, 2006

I'm building an SQL Server 2005 cluster on a Windows 2003 cluster. Windows 2003 cluster and MSDTC service are all up and running properly. No problems there, but when I try to install SQL Server 2005 as a cluster service, it fails. The installation goes past the stage where it validates both the nodes and doesn't find any issue there, but when it tries to install fiels it fails. It fails on node 2. When I checked the scduled installer job it creates on node2 to install, the job never seems to run and fails. I'm using only one user account to setup windows cluster MSDTC and SQL Server. Now the complications: It is 64 bit Windows 2003 and SQL Server 2005. Also, the node 1 is built to be a domain controller as well.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

DSNLess Connection With Failover On SQL Server 2005 Cluster ?

Nov 20, 2006

Hi,

We have configured two SQL Server 2005 in a cluster (without Witness).

We have severals ASP (using ADO) that are connecting to SQL Server 2005 with SQL Native Client in a DSNLess connection String :

driver={SQL Native Client}; server=MAINMAIN; Failover Partner=BCKUPBCKUP; uid=log;pwd=pwd;database=MyBase

When using this connection string, the connection to MAIN is alrigth, but when we simulate a unavailability situation on "MyBase" or on the entire MAIN instance, the new connection are joining the MAIN and not the BCKUP SQL Server.

We tryed several Connection Strings including Failover_Partner, Initliag Catalog instead of database... but no one succed in joining the BCKUP SQL Server.

I precise that the DNS on the PC that connect to SQL server is configured and both MAIN and BCKUP are resolved in command line or in explorer.

Is there an other driver that must be used, or is there an other parameter to set in the connection string ?

Regards.

Install Muliti Instances On SQL 2005 Cluster With The Same Server Name

Mar 29, 2007



I am trying to install multi instances on my server cluster 2003 R2 Sp2. Because of the compatibility issues with my services I need to install both SQL 2000 and 2005. With 2000 I can easily specify the instance and servername. The server name can be the same, but the instance has to be different. Is this true for 2005? I have found so far that for every new instance that you create that you need to have a different virtual server name. How can you utilize the same virtual name and have multi insances



servername$instance1

servername$instance2

and so on

Strategy For Upgrade To SQL Server 2005 , Consolidate And Cluster

Sep 29, 2006

Hello there,

We have about a dozen SQL server 2000 Enterprise Edition servers in house. Our goal is to set up a cluster SQL server 2005 and consodiate the existing dozen servers to a few servers for easy manage and maintainence. So there are 3 things that we want to accomplish:

1. upgrade to SQL server 2005,

2. Consolidate existing servers

3. Make a cluster server to get high availability

But I'm sure what's the right order to acheive them. To upgrade each server to 2005 and then move them to cluster server? or set up the cluster server in 2005 and restore existing dbs to the cluster server. upgrade first or cluster first? upgrade first or consolidate first? pros and cons? upgrade or backup/restore? What do you recommend? We have lots of stored procedures, views and triggers, DTS packages and some replications. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Hello All, I am trying the following script to upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP1 to SP2. I have an Active Passive cluster configuration. I have default instances of SQL Server. I am using the following script.

start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /allinstances /quiet.

The sql server install fails to run. When I used the above command with just

start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /quiet still the summary.txt file came with authentication success and that is all. I changed the above script and did

start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /instancename=instancename of the cluster

This worked, however the install patched the passive node (DB engine, all the cluster unaware components) but failed to patch the DB engine on the Active node. I had to run the SQL Server sp2 install manually but still it did not patch the DB engine on the primary node

1. Can someone please help me with this issue as I want the unattended install to work. so it installs both active and passive node. I will post the final output and also the ADS script to do this as a bonus if this works.

Here is the summary.txt file.

SQL Server 2005 Standard On 2 Nodes Of A 4 Node Cluster

May 23, 2006

My question is, I'd like my actual cluster to have 4 servers. The virtual server that will be running SQL 2005 will only be installed on 2 of those nodes. Will this work or do I have to split my cluster in to 2 to meet the SQL Server 2005 2 node failover limitation? A basic config for the cluster would be like below....

ClusterSQLNode
Active SQL 2005 Server
ClusterExchNode
Active Exchange Server
ClusterAppNode
Active Application Server
ClusterFailoverNode
Failover SQL 2005
Failover Exchange
Failover Application

Will SQL 2005 install in a 4 server cluster if I only install it on to two of the nodes? Any potential gotchas?

Installing SSRS 2005 In Web Server And Cluster Environment.

Dec 8, 2006

Hi,

I am installing SSRS 2005 with the following scenario:

- Report Server and Report Manager will be installed on web server

- The repository databases (ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB) will be hosted in SQL2005 cluster server.

Both servers are running Win2003 SP1, SQL/SSRS 2005 SP1

When I try to browse the ReportServer virtual directory from IIS on the web server, the system keep asking username and password. After 3 times trials and it failed eventhough the username and password is correct.

The error message is:

HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

I've been searching on the web and found couple of articles talking about this issue. I've tried some of them like: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887993 or even this one: http://groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs/browse_frm/thread/991c9178ceab8f58/8f1a447aa60ad837?lnk=st&q=reporting+services+the+server+is+not+responding&rnum=3&hl=en#8f1a447aa60ad837

But this doesn't work.

I've checked both event viewer both web server and SQL server, but I can't see any information that tell me what had happened.

I also look at BOL, but doesn't help much.

Is there anyone can help me or point me to the right direction? Is there any guide document that explains step-by-step how to install SSRS in my scenario or similiar?

Many Thanks,

Usman Tjiudri

Upgrade An Active Passive Sql Server 2000 Cluster To 2005

Aug 14, 2006

I have upgraded our test server and on non cluster production machine. My next server is a cluster and I don't have a test cluster server. Do I upgrade the active node and that is all or am I going to need to fail it over and upgrade the other node.

Also the prerequesite for the upgrade advisor is .net 2.0 I am going to up that on each server one at a time but I am only going to add the upgrade advisor to one node is that ok.

I read the SP1 documentation and it clearly states only patch the active node and do not patch the inactive nodes.

Installing CU4, Build 3200, On SQL Server 2005 Which Is Running On A Cluster

Apr 3, 2008

I have no idea how to apply "fixes" or updates to SQL Server when it is running on a cluster.

We are currently running SQL Server 2005 with SP2. The version would be Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (X64) Feb 10 2007 00:59:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

I am hoping that someone can tell me of a document that exists, that includes the very basics, on how to do this. I need something that says go to the cluster and do these steps in this order, etc. from start to finish.


Thank you.
