Upgrading SQL Server 2000 SP3 To SP4 - In A SQL Cluster
Mar 26, 2008
We have 2 SQL servers in a failover cluster environment. SQL1 and SQL2. Currently SQL1 is the primary in the cluster, and we need to upgrade from Service Pack 3 to Service Pack 4.
Our setup:
Both servers are Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition.
Both servers have SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3.
My question is:
Which upgrade plan do I take? Do I:
1. Upgrade the backup (offline) server in the cluster (SQL2) first, reboot, then failover from SQL1 to SQL2? Then do the other server?
2. Upgrade the primary (online) server in the cluster (SQL1) first and see if it replicates to the backup?
Any advice or tips would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

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?

We shall be taking a bunch of 7.0 instances and moving/upgrading to a SQL 2000 cluster server. I was thinking of creating new named instances on the 2000 cluster and upgrading each 7.0 server to it's respective named instance. Also thought of using the 2000 copy database wizard; I was told this didn't always work. Anyone hear of problems with this?
Thanks

I am currently running an active/passive cluster NT4 with SQL7 clustered. I am trying to upgrade SQL to a clustered 2000 version. I have a san disk area allocated as a Z: drive. These are the following steps I have taken:
1. Used cluster wizard to uncluster the SQL 7 instance.
2. Using the SQL 2000 Enterprise cd created a new virtual server (with the same IP address and name as the previous SQL 7 server) I have left the install as a default instance.
3. Part way through the install I am asked to browse to the data area. The data area is Z:mssql7data.
On completion of the install I now have the following data path Z:mssql7datamssqldata and all the databases are still SQL7 databases.
My questions are:
How can I get the install to update/convert the databases to SQL 2000 as it doesnt seem to recognise them?
Will the install always suffix the data path with mssqldata
Any assistance appreciated.

Hello SQL pro's,
I have a SQL 2005 cluster using 2 HP DL 380 32bit servers connected to an HP MSA500 disk pack via SCSI. I need to upgrade the servers to 64 bit but I am still going to use 32 bit windows server.
My question is, has any tried this before? If so, will it work and what is the best way to go about it. Should I take down the secondary SQL server, then replace it, then add it to the cluster, then fail over to it, then replace the other?
Any information is greatly appreciated.

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

I am going to be upgrading to SP2 on an active/passive cluster currently running RTM. I have read the release notes, but there isn't much cluster specific information there. At what point during the installation are connections to the database no longer available? I am trying to figure out approximately how much downtime we will have during this installations. Are there any precautions, other than a backup, that I should take to ensure the upgrade goes smoothly?

Hi,
I'm planning an upgrade of SQL 7.0 on NT 4.0 to SQL 2000 and of course I will attempt to upgrade the OS to Windows 2000 first.
Can anyone tell me of any issues I may run across during this upgrade?
Can I assume that SQL 7.0 will run ok on Windows 2000?
thanks much,
Robert

I need to upgrade a trial version on 2005 to Enterprise. Will this work?
start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb
Does that take care of SSIS and RS?
I see that UPGRADE may only have a value of 'SQL_Engine', so I'm assuming everything relies on the version of the engine. I also see that every cluster install requires certain options that are not specified in my command - which is why I'm a little confused - you can see that info a little below this link - "Parameters Required for Cluster Installations". But I'm thinking this isn't a install, but an upgrade.

I restored a 2000 database back up in to my 2005 database and it works fine. THe only problem is that I cannot create diagrams.
I get the following message:
Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects.
I have checked the db_owner and that is a valid owner.
I changed a few times to different owners and still could not install the diagrams..
Any ideas?
thanks

I have to upgrade and move SQL Server 2000 databases from a platform using Server 2000 to one running SQL Server 2005. The server nameinstances will need to be the same so that a number of third party applications and front end systems that connect, and are outside of my control, will not need any data source changes. The servers will be on the same network and can't co-exist with the same name so I guess that I have to go "big bang".
Does anyone have any suggestions for a strategy that I can use?
Does anyone know of any issues that I should be aware of?
I have run the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor and it tells me the databases should upgrade OK with a few minor issues that can be fixed after.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I'm finding the documentation online to upgrading from 2000 to 2005 fairly poor.
What are the upgrading options and which one is the best option for a web server database.
Also what are best practices pre-upgrade, during upgrade and post-upgrade.
Cannot find much online.
Also since this question will be asked often might as well make it a sticky.
Thanks

Hello
I'm trying to upgrade a Microsoft SQL 2000 (8.00.760 SP3) server to SQL 2005.
It€™s a standard install, std version, not very big databases, default instance, plenty of memory etc. OS is a 2003 server recently upgraded from 2000. All patches etc are installed.
Upgrade was going fine and had got approx 90% through, had started the 2005 db service and converted the databases before it got the following error:
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid connection string attribute Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
The 'For help' link returned the helpful... €˜We are sorry but we can€™t help€™...
Worked through http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143698.aspx but not 100% applicable and didn€™t resolve.
Partially rolled back, rebooted and resumed install but failed in the same place. Ended going back to a backup snapshot so is now back running as SQL 2000.
Excerpt from install log is below...
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I recently upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. I have Oracle databases I need to share data with.

Hi,
We just upgraded 2 sql servers from sql server 2000 sp3a to sql server 2005 build 2153, and merge rep exists between these 2 servers.
However, after sql server upgrade, we had to reinitialize merge replication and now the merge agent is reporting 2 errors
1)
Error messages:
The Merge Agent failed to upgrade triggers, metadata and stored procedures on the Subscriber to versions compatible with SQL Server 2005. Restart synchronization, and if this failure continues to occur reinitialize the subscription. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199403)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199403
Invalid column name 'metadata_select_proc'. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 207)
Get help: http://help/207
Invalid column name 'delete_proc'. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 207)
Get help: http://help/207
2)
Command attempted:
{call sp_MSensure_single_instance (N'Merge Agent Name', 4)}
Error messages:
The merge process could not connect to the Publisher 'Server:database'. Check to ensure that the server is running. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199368)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199368
Another merge agent for the subscription(s) is running or the server is working on a previous request by the same agent. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 21036)
Get help: http://help/21036
looking inside the sp_MSensure_single_instance stored procedure, it's trying to obtain an exclusive lock on resource 'Merge Agent Name' but fails and returns -1
this is the stored procedure executed by sp_MSensure_single_instance and @retcode = -1 and thus cannot obtain exclusive lock on resource
EXEC @retcode = sys.sp_getapplock @Resource = 'Merge Agent Name',
@LockMode = 'Exclusive',
@LockOwner = 'Session',
@LockTimeout = 0,
@DbPrincipal = 'MSmerge_PAL_role'
so i think it's failing because for some reason MSmerge_PAL_role database role does not have enough rights to obtain exclusive lock on necessary resources
i've tried many things to fix this, including scripting out and dropping all merge rep, turning off replication db option and reapplying replication create scripts on the server, and even manually deleting the MSmerge_PAL_role database role but still doesn't work
can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,
I've just installed SQL 2005 SP2 Rollup 3 Package (Build 3186) on a 2 node X64 W2K3 Cluster.
Everything went fine, although after the install, the SQLAgent Services of my instances started to complain about delegation not enabled for the domain account used for the SQLAgent Service.
SPN's were already registered, so I've enabled unconstrained delegation & no errors anymore..
Apparently we're obliged to enable delegation as soon as this hotfix is installed
(maybe due to fix 938086 included in it ?)
To make this setup more secure, we would like to enable constrained delegation.
This does not seem to work, as soon as we choose constrained delegation by adding the SPN of the clustername to the domain user account we're running with & restart the sql agent, it fails with the same error as when no delegation was configured:
! [298] SQLServer Error: 22022, CryptUnprotectData() returned error -2146892987, 'The requested operation cannot be completed. The computer must be trusted for delegation and the current user account must be configured to allow delegation.' [SQLSTATE 42000]
! [442] ConnConnectAndSetCryptoForXpstar failed (0).
Summary:
With Unconstrained delegation enabled for computer account & user account, everything goes fine.
As soon as constrained delegation is chosen, by adding the SPN's to the domain user account of SQL Agent, SQL agent fails to start.
We use a domain account for the SQL Agent.
This account has an 2 SPN registered on it
MSSQLSvc/<FQDN SQL instance network name>:1433
MSSQLSvc/<FQDN SQL instance network name>
Connections to SQL go fine, authorization scheme is Kerberos even when SQL Agent fails to start due to this delegation failure.
Domain account has "act as part of operating system" & "impersonate a client after authorzation"
Anyone an idea ?

Could someone give me an ideal of what it takes to upgrade the memory in my cluster. Is it as easy has upgrading the passive node, switching the nodes, then upgrading the other server. And do I need to re-configure the windows cluster. And will both server need to be down at the same time at any point.
Or is their more to the process? Thanks for any assistance.
btw, I currently have 16mb of RAM in each node.

Hi All,
I had two Window NT 4.0 Server, say A and B... We recently upgraded from MS SQL Server 6.5 to MS SQL Server 2000 on Computer A, and for Computer B, I installed SQL Server 2000 from scratch. These two have a same RAM(512MB) and CPU speed...so the setup for hardware is almost identical...
For server A, there are around 10 connection to this SQL Server...
For server B, there are also around 10 connection to this SQL Server...
The database for SQL Server B is a copy from SQL Server A.... I restored the database on SQL Server B from the backup dump of Server A...
We have a store procedure called usp_GetMemo(ID Interger) ... we feed ID number to this store procedure and return its return Description... this table has ID column and it's Non-Cluster index, allow the duplicate row... there are 1.7 million records for this table...
Here is problem... whenever i execute more than 100 times for this store procedure(usp_GetMemo(ID)) continuously, the CPU usage of Computer A is 3 times bigger than computer B....
I did run the command "DBCC DBReindex" , "Update Statistics" for this table on computer A, but did not make any difference...
Keep in mind that Computer A has been upgraded to SQL server 2000 while Computer B installed from scratch... would that make difference somehow?? Before the upgrading, the CPU usage of computer A is the same as Computer B...
Any help will be really appreciated,
Thanks alot,
Kim,

Is it just me, or are features missing in Management Studio? I mean, where is the "Export Objects" option when exporting data? Why is it so difficult to register a remote server? Why do the object views suck? And most important, why is the documentation the worst software documentation I have EVER SEEN?!
Things that were easy in Enterprise Manager with Client Network Utility and Query Analyzer seem impossible, difficult, or maybe just hidden in Management Studio. If it is there, the documentation sure doesnt tell you how to find it.
Please someone tell me that it's just me. Tell me that the features are there but Im not doing something right. I feel like putting my head in between my door opening and banging the door against it.

I have two Windows 2000 servers (Advance Edition) to form a Windows Cluster. I also install MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on the cluster to form a MS SQL cluster. Now, I want to upgrade the hardware and OS (but keep on using SQL 2000), so I install Windows 2003 server Enterprise Edition on two new servers to form a new Windows Cluster. I am planing to install MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on the new cluster, so the old SQL cluster and new SQL cluster are side by side. I would like to know how to setup a new SQL cluster (I know it has problem to rename SQL Cluster name, so how to fix this problem)? And how to transfer everything (such as system databases, users database, sql user account, password and maintenance plan jobs etc) from old SQL cluster to new SQL cluster? And how to switch over from old SQL cluster to new SQL cluster?
Thanks a lot !

Hi, could someone tell me if this configuration is possible?
Machine A: Instance 1 (ACTIVE) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine B: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (ACTIVE) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine C: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (ACTIVE)
I know that it is possible with 2 machines with the clasical solution of Machine1: active-passive, Machine2: passive-active, this way if one of the machines goes down the other one will take the job of both instances, but I dont know if this solution is possible in SQL server 2000 with 3 instances at the same time.
Help please? thanks

We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2003 Server 32 - bit Standard to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003 64-bit Enterprise. Our existent cluster's databases are residing on SAN. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2003 32-bit Server to Windows 2003 64-bit Enterprise 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. Or should we just evict the passive node?
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64-bit server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2003 32-bit Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Bring the active server down.
4. Create new cluster on the newly upgraded server and assign the same cluster name and IP as the original one.
5 Bring the luns from SAN to the newly upgraded server and initialize SQL Upgrade
6. As a final step, the old active node will be rebuilt, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64 - bit 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?

I am trying to run the SQL Server 2000-Switch application to upgrade my 6.5 database to SQL2000. The error I am recieving is error 8344, which on Microsoft website, states : Insufficient access rights to perform the operation. I have checked all of the rights on the servers. Microsoft states that each SQL Server service account must have a domain account logon, and it does, and the service account on the box must be a local admin on the box, and that it is. What happens is I select the export and import server and then it stops and starts services, and then returns to the exact login page.
Any suggestions????
Thanks

Hi,
We have a new failover cluster (Windows 2003 SP1, Microsoft SQL 2000 SP4) with each node of the cluster hosting 7 SQL Server instances in a 2-node active-active configuration connected to a SAN. We are planning to move some SQL Server Instances(from existing stand-alone servers) into this Cluster. Any insight into the process of moving SQL Servers into the cluster would be highly appreciated.

Hey guys,
Lately we have come across a problem where our application is undergoing some extreme load against the SQL 2000 server database we have setup, where the server is hitting 100% CPU utilization each time. Currently the box is a 2 processor box.
Here is the question I have. I have seen under most SQL Server clusters that an active/passive setup is implemented. Where the passive server just exists as a failover mechanism. What I am looking for is some information on how to setup active/active setup where each server receives processes to handle.
Has anyone created a setup like this? Are there any standard benchmarking tools that can be used to see how this configuration increases performance? Is this setup more favorable than going to a 4 processor server as oppossed to our current 2 processor server?
BTW: We have noticed that after a web application where the user sits idle for a while the SQL Server application loses the connection with the application user...Is this the SQL Timeout causing the connection to disconnect?
Thanx for any response...
Bri
