SAN Drive Speed Vs Local Drive
Feb 12, 2007How do you compare SAN drive vs local drive on a 32 bit server?
Is it good idea to move my DB files to a SAN instead of local?

Moving A SQL Server 2000 Database From A Local Drive To Another Local Drive
Jan 31, 2008Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,
Rick
Can I Used A Shared Drive Rather Than A Mapped Drive With OpenRowSet?
Apr 4, 2008
Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
New Database On Other Local Network Drive
Jan 15, 2007Hello,
I need help with the setup of my sql server express 2005 and more specifically, with the location of the database files. Normally, database files are located on the c: drive. In my situation, being in a high school environnement, I need to have the database files on the network drive ... lets call it g:drive. The reason why it cannot be on c:drive is because this drive is protected using DeepFreeze. Now, I was able to change the location of the new drive as I went into the properties window of the sql server instance but when I try to create this new database, sql gives me grief ;-|
I am from the group of people that thinks that to anything, there is a solution and am hoping that to this problem, there is hope of a solution.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
Backup To Non-local Hard Drive
Oct 19, 1998I want to perform backups to a network drive. I need to know if I can access the backup drive via UNC. I have not been able to get it to work and, for now, I would just like to know if what I am trying to do SHOULD work.
For example I want to backup to device mdtnts_prod02LM2BackupNameBack.DAT.
Thanks,Bob
Backing Up To A Non-local Drive/location
Dec 19, 2007I've been working with SQL Server for a few years now and I've had quite a few cases where users cannot backup SQL to a network location or external hard drive. Why can SQL not do this? Is it some limitation of the speeds at which SQL needs to backup the information and the external hard drives/network drives do not meet the requirements?

Aug 16, 2005I'm trying to build a new cluster with SQL Server 2K Enterprise onWindows 2003 server. When I run the install, I tell it to put theprogram files on the D: (local) drive and the data/log files on shareddrives.

Backup On Local/Network Drive Using Maintenance Plan
May 27, 2007Hi,
I have created an sql server 2005 maintenance plan for a daily backup. The plan has two 'Back up database task' i.e. one backup on the local drive while the second on a network drive. When the plan is executed, a backup is created on the local drive but not on the network drive. If i check the log, it says "Access Denied" whereas i have full access to the network drive with complete permissions to read, write and delete.
Can anyone help me understand how to take a backup on both a local and network drive at the same time using a maintenance plan ? I shall be obliged...
Regards...
SQL 2012 :: Moving TempDB To Local Non-clustered Drive
Sep 11, 2014We are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.
Problem Accessing My Local A: Verses The SQL Servers A: Drive
Apr 26, 2006I am having a problem accessing my local A: drive, using the bulk insert command. The actual sql server pc thinks I am accessing its sql server's A: and not my local a: drive. I am trying to read in a simple CSV delimited ascii file into a sql table. Wow what a nightmare just to read a simple ascii file into a table. Unfortunatley I am writing a program in VB.net for an operator to import ascii data from floppy diskettes.
I am using this command below: The command works fine but I have to go to the actual server and put the floppy disk in over there. I want the operator to be able to use there own A: or any location drive for that matter. Sql server over the network is not allowing us to access any local drive to import this data. I get an error 21 because the sql server does not have the floppy in its drive. It seems like some kind of security issue, but I am not sure. Any information would be most appreciated in this matter. Thanks in advance.

sample code below:
BULK INSERT Master.dbo.imVBMbAddress
FROM 'a:mbAddressPipes.txt'
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'a:importdatambaddress.fmt',
FIRSTROW=2);
SQL Server Doesn't Recognize Local F G Drive Problem
May 8, 2008I have a Windows Internal Database (installed by SharePoint WSS 3.0) and SQL Server Management Studio Express installed on W2K3 Std server. The server has local hard disk drive C, E, F & G. However SQL Server Management Studio Express only recognize C and E drive, for example in the set default database location or in attach database file dialog window only C & E drive are available. Anyone knows why and how to fix the problem?

Device Activation Error On Sp_attach_db To Local Drive
Apr 25, 2007Here is the error, I receive:

Device activation error. The physical file name 'L:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOGTestDB_Log.LDF' may be incorrect.

@filename1 = N'S:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataTestDB.MDF',
@filename2 = N'L:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOGTestDB_Log.LDF'
This server has a Raid 5 Disk Array partitioned into three Logic Drives C:, S:, L:. Not sure, why the server was configured this way. If I attach the database with the data and log files on the same logical drive, the DB attaches successfully. When I try to put the data and log files on separate logical drives, it fails. Issue seems to be with the drive partitioning. Any Ideas?
How To Move A Log File From 'e' Drive To 'f' Drive....
Nov 9, 2000I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?
TempDB Keeps Getting Filled And It Is In C Drive But It Should Be In T Drive
Nov 28, 2015Server: SQL 2008 R2
1: TempDB keeps getting filled. Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there
Restore Clustered SQL Server 2000 From Backup On Local Drive
Aug 1, 2007We are attempting to restore one of our databases from a backup that went to a local drive on the server.
We see the backupset in the list but receive an error that it is not available when we try to use it. When we try to restore from device and select the files the drive letter is not available. When we attempt to enter the path to the file it can't locate it. We don't have space on our SAN to copy the backup there and we can't add the local drive to the cluster resources.
Is there a way to get this backup done?

Is there a solution to this problem?
