Problem Restoring SQL Svr 2000 Master Db - Wrong Server Version?
Jul 20, 2005
I'm trying to rebuild from a meltdown. I'm using disk backup files. I
could have sworn that I had SQL Server 2000 SP3 installed on the old
machine, but maybe not.
With SP3 installed, I get a message along the lines that the restore
can't be done because the backup was created using server version
134218262 and this server is version 134218488.
I've searched the documentation and can't find any reference to those
version numbers.
In any case, I thought SQL Server 2000 could restore backups created
on any SP level to any SP level.
Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.
I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.
Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:
Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.
I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?
moving to a new sql server box because of a problem with the SAN its connected to. started my named instance in single user mode and restored master. sqlserve.exe -c -m -s ovops now the instance won't start. tried starting it with the -t3608 switch.. won't start!! Its because my drive configuration is different on the new server than it was on the old server, I cannot start the instance because it is expecting model, msdb, temdb and all of the user databases on drives that don't exist?? what can I do?????
I can't find any articles telling me how to restore master,msdb databases on a sql 2000 cluster. Both in a active/active setup and active/passive set up. I am experimenting to see if normal restore in a stand alone environment would work. But I would like to know if there is a definitive method to use. Looked on BOL could not find anything.
We installed an Enterprise version onto a server that only needs Standard. Unfortunately an outside supplier installed software and databases on it before we realised our mistake. Is it safe to just install Standard 'over the top'and what would that do to the application's databases ?
I have a server attached to a SAN, all user db's are on the SAN, master, tempdb, and msdb are on the local machine. We will be replacing the machine (not the SAN) to a newer sql server. Our plan was to create the new server with same name, deattach current user db's,backup master and msdb, then connect new server with same name an IP to SAN. I then wanted to restore the master and msdb db's to the new machine, and attach the user db's. We are running log shipping to a stand-by server in this configuration. I was thinking I could let last tran log backup and copy occur, and then let the last restore happen on the standby. I would then shut down the agent. Should I not be able to restore the MSDB and master to the new server (as long as all file folder locations are the same) and be ready to go? Or are there issues when restoring the Master and MSDB to a new server from a different server.
I am running MS SQL 2000.I recently ran a procedure in Query Analyzer from the Master db toclear out all replication information so I could start/recreate itagain.After I ran this procedure Enterprise Manager no longer showed theregistered server in the tree. When I tried to re-register it gave methe following message:"A connection could not be established to ([Database Name])""Reason: [SQL-DMO]Sql Server ([Database Name]) must be upgraded toversion 7.0 or later to be administered by this version of SQL-DMO""Please verify that sql is running and check your SQL serverregistration properties (by right click on the ([Database Name]) node)and try again."I

I am developing a mobile application with Visual Studio 2005 RTM. I created a .SDF database from scratch within the Server Explorer window. Based on the properties of the database, this is a version 3.0 DB. I then deploy the application to the Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator and I receive an error when trying to open the database from my app. It's a very generic error:
System.SData.SqlServerCE.SqlCEException
I trap the error in my code, but there is no message in the exception object.
If I try to open it with Query Analyzer on the device, I get an error stating "The file is not a valid database file". It appears that SQL CE 2.0 was deployed to the emulator.
I noticed that when I add a reference in my project to the System.Data.SQLServerCE namespace, it defaults to this DLL:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev2.0System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
I tried removing that and manually adding a reference by browsing to this 3.0 DLL:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev3.0System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
I then receive the following build error:
Unable to load referenced library 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev3.0System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll': Version 2.0 is not a compatible version.
If I build the database in my application from scratch from within my code, everything works fine, which I believe is because it is a 2.0 database that is generated.
To make a long story short:
How do I get my project to reference the 3.0 SQL Server CE namespace and deploy it to the emulator?
I am experiencing a problem that, after i have made a backup database file in SQL Server version (9.00.1090), when i restore the database in a newer SQL Server 2005 version(9.00.1399), an error occurs.
The error is:
Restore failed for Server 'demo'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Additional information: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version 9.00.1090. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 9.00.1399. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Anyone can tell me how i could fix this? Why would it happen?
I noticed when I restore a master database to a server other then the one which created the backup of master, SQL Server contains the following three local security groups that were defined on the source server. The problem is these groups are "local" and do not apply to the server where master was restored.
If you then backup the master database on an instance named MARKETING_PROD and restore it to MARKETING_TEST, the security folder on MARKETING _TEST will now contain the following three entries.
These entries would be invalid because no such server exists and therefor no such local groups exists. There appears to be no Microsoft documentation explaining how to handle these groups when restoring master from one server to another. My assumption is that whenever restoring master to another server you must drop these three groups and add the correct corresponding groups along with the appropriate permissions. I don't understand why SQL Server would not rebuild this information for you during a restore.
I'm having trouble with restoring the master db on w2k3 sql2000 sp3a to a Secondary Standby server. Firstly, I place the server in Single user mode and then restore the master db. The sql server then tries to restart sql services but immediately stops as soon as it starts up.
A couple of days ago I installed SQL Server Developer Edition onto my server "DELLNOV2006" which already had an instance of SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition.
All seemed fine, but today trying to use SQL SMAS, I received the error "This version of SQL server is not supported. You must upgrade to an instance of SQL server 2005.
So I opened MSFT SQL Server Management Studio and in object explorer saw the highest object was "DELLNOV2006 (SQL Server 8.00.2039 DELLNOV2006MST).
In the query window SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition') is returning 8.00.2039
That's SQL Server 200 SP 4, so it looks like SL Server 2005 is either not installed or is somehow not the default.
According to 'Remove Software' window, I have both SQL Server 200 and 2005 installed.
How can I get SQL 2005 as the default? Then I can get rid of 2000.
When I execute the query "Select @@VERSION as 'SQL Server Version'" from SQL Server Management Studio Express, I get '2005 - 9.00......." returned as the version. When I execute the same query from a VB 6 program, I get "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)" returned.
What is odd is the VB 6 program had been returning '2005' within the last two weeks. I have not uninstalled or re-installed 2005 in my environment.
I also executed the following at the command prompt and recieved SQL 2000:
"C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator>sqlcmd -S MARKB-LTXP -U SA -P medw.1 -q "select @@version"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002 14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Personal Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)"
When I execute 'exec master..xp_msver' as a query, 2005 is returned but when done from my VB 6 program I get 2000 returned...
Iam planning to move the production server from one server to another. Can any one tell me how to do the migration of the master,model and msdb database. Help in this regard is highly appreciated.Is it ok if I do the dts for these three databases Thanks Naveen.
In SQL 7 Books Online, the suggested method for disaster recovery is to restore the master database along with msdb and user databases.
I am testing this and have an issue restoring the master database. I start SQL in single user mode connected as sa. Using Enterprise Manager to initiate the restore I get the following error:
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState:01000) ConnectionTransact (GetOverlappedResult()) Connection broken.
This stops SQL Server, and prevents subsequent connections and the only fix is to rebuild the master database.
Any ideas?
Although user databases can be recreated and restored without restoring the original master, configuration, security and user logon information is lost without it.
HELP We are preparing Disaster recovery plans, and I need to recover the SQL servers. When testing this, I have run REBUILDM, and then set sql to single user and attempted restore of master. I receive error messages: "2001-11-16 15:36:24.33 spid6 Getpage: bstat=0x9, sstat=0x1, cache 2001-11-16 15:36:24.34 spid6 pageno is/should be: objid is/should be: 2001-11-16 15:36:24.34 spid6 (1:988)/(1:988) 6/30 2001-11-16 15:36:24.84 spid6 ...

Subsequent attempt cause the same, UNLESS i reapply SP2 (the version running when the Master was backed up)
Hi all, I'm hopeful that someone can help.. I'm working with my DRP scripts, and am having some trouble. First I run Rebuildm with no issue, sql works fine (btw we're on SQL7 SP2) then I start sql in single user mode sqlservr -m next, I attempt to restore my master db from a dump, and receive the following error: Getpage: bstat=0x9, sstat=0x1, cache pageno is/should be:objid is/should be: (1:988)/(1:988)6/30 ... IAM indicates that page is NOT allocated to this object Error: 605, Severity: 21, State: 1. Error: 3151, Severity: 21, State: 0 The master database failed to restore. Use the rebuildm utility to rebuild the master database. Shutting down SQL Server.. PLEASE HELP!
Everytime I attempt to restore the master database, it corrupts the entire instance of SQL server 2000. I have been using the method out on Microsoft's Knowledgebase:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822852/en-us
using sqlservr.exe and the switches -c -m -T3608 -T4022
I would like to know if anyone has other methods of restoring the master database from a backup device.
I am trying to restore my master database to a new server in sql 2000. I have started sql in single user mode from the command line and connected to enterprise manager and attempted to do the restore. I also tried query analyzer and used the restore database from disk ='file path of backup' used the move option with the correct file path and on both counts received the same error message...
Any ideas? The connection is then broken (which I would expect anyway as restoring master shuts down sql but, I checked and it has not restored the db)
I am running through a Disaster Recovery scenerio and I am having trouble restoring the Master and msdb DBs to a recovery box.
My production is a default Instance on WIN2k Server - SQL Server is 2000 Standard, sp3a
The box I'm trying to recover to is a Named Instance on WIN2003 server - SQL Server 2000, sp3a
I stopped/restarted my recovery server with -m and -T3608 startup parameters but when I attempt to restore the master backup from my production box to the recovery box, I get an error - it's a blank dialog box with a big red X and it says: Microsoft SQL-DMO - ODBS SQL State - HY000
when I check the sql server log: it shows the Server started in single user then it says recovering master db then starting up master DB then it just hangs..
Server event viewer shows this: 18052:error 3151, severity 21, state 0
not much to go on.. does anyone know what I'm doing wrong???
I am trying to restore master to a new server but location of data and log files is different in this new server. The previous location was 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata" the current location is in the C: Drive; when trying to restore using MOVE:
RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK ='\PfileserversqlbackupMDFfilesmaster_db_20070 8170121.BAK' WITH RECOVERY , MOVE 'master' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Serverdatamaster.mdf', MOVE 'mastlog' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdatamastlog.ldf'
I get the following error message:
The system database cannot be moved by RESTORE
Is there a way you can restore master to a different location?
We set up a test box and having been trying to move an entire instancefrom our production server to this one. I have moved all my createddbs using the RESTORE WITH MOVE. Now I am trying to move the Master,Model, and msdb. This is where I am having trouble. On the productionbox the dbs are stored on D:mssql$instancenamedata. On the testserver the data is stored in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServermssql$instancenamedata. Also the server names are different.So I finally got the Master from production to restore over the test'scopy. Now the instance will not start. I was trying to use thefollowing code in cmd line to connect to the instace so I could thencopy model and msdb:sqlservr -c -f -T3608 -T4022 -sINSTANCENAMEWhen this is trying to connect I read it is failing and saying that theMDF and LDF may be corrupt or not there. The problem is it is nowtrying to look in D:mssql$instancenamedata instead of C:ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQL Servermssql$instancenamedata. Any ideas on how Ican change this, or if I have to reinstall the entire instace, not runinto this again?
We just recently found out that our production database (SQL Server 2005) was running on an evaluation license and that it would expire very soon. So we went ahead and bought a license for SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and installed it last night. Before we started, we did full backups of SQL Server so that we could just restore the DB. Then we uninstalled the evaluation version and installed the enterprise version. However, when we tried to restore the master database, we got an error stating that the build/version number of the master database restore and the target SQL Server instance were different and that the restore could not be done. We decided not to try too hard and just manually entered the data into the already existing master database.
Well, we did not discover until this morning that our encrypted data was not decrypting because the service master key was not matching the one that was used to encrypt our data. We realized that we do not have any backups for the service master key and we do not know the user credentials that were used to create the original service master key.
We tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264474 already, but we could not get past step 6. We got the build/version mismatch error.
My question is does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to either get the master database to be restored or to get the service master key extracted? Our business is basically at a hault until we get this data encrypted.
