I am creating a sql server failover cluster but during installation I am getting following error:

The cluster resource 'Type='IP Address' NetworkName='Cluster Network 1' Group='SQL SERVER (SQLCLUSTERNEW)' Resource='SQL IP Address 1 (SQLCLUSTERNEW)'' could not be brought online.  Error: The parameter is incorrect.

When I checked the failover cluster manager on one of the cluster node. the failover cluster is being shown offline under cluster core resources. When I tried to bring the cluster online it throws error as : Failed to bring the resource 'Cluster name online. The resource failed to come online due to the failure of one or more provider resources. Please help. How do I solve this issue?

Are the same SPs and CUs used for updating SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition and SQL Server 2016 Enterprise edition? Before installing Developer Edition in our Dev/Test environment, we want to be sure that when we apply the SPs or CUs to the Developer Edition servers, the same changes are installed when we apply them to the Enterprise edition production environments.

Good day!

I am currently testing the Active-Active Installation of SQL Server 2016. I finished installing and configuring Windows Cluster on both nodes. I installed SQL Cluster on my first node. When trying to install the SQL as an additional node on my second node I encounter the error code 0x85260009 "The specified setting for Polybase is not the same as that specified for the active node in the SQL server Failover Cluster. To continue, please provide False for the setting."

Hoping for your response.

Thank you in advance.

In our organization we have a current setup of 1 sql server in DC connected to a domain controller in DC. for Implementing DR we have a server in DR connected to another domain controller in DR. The systems in DC and DR are in different subnet but same domain and two different domain controllers. I need a procedure or guide in setting up active active sync between the nodes in DC and DR. Any additional resource required? Also if any one can help me in setting up the DC-DR setup; it will be a great help.

As the title says i keep getting the unauthorized operation error, i have looked at several forums before writing here, if anyone has any insight on how to fix it please let me know.

Also i am new to this forum i know you probably need a log file to help me find the error, but i am not sure how to upload the text from the document since the document is so long trying to copy paste crashes my browser.

but have an idea that this part of it might help

help me 

it keep notice that: "There are no features selected for upgrade " what should i do for it??

Greetings,

my company is preparing to upgrade SQL Server from 2005/2008 to 2016.

We have a lot of .NET applications whose code contains many SQL instructions (dynamic queries and so on): is there any best practice or tool to check if these instructions are compatible with the new version of SQL Server?

Thank you in advance,

Emiliano.

Good morning!

My user group at the company has been working with SQL Server Management Studio installed locally on our desktops/laptops.  Our database that we connect to is stored on a SQL that we have not been allowed to Remote Desktop into.  This database has moved 4 times in the 2 years that I have been with the company.  Each time we move, we have had to also move the location / ip address of the ONLY folder we have been allowed to bulk load from.  That has required adjustments to some of our code that loads data on a regular basis from that location.  We are going through our 4th move right now and I requested that we leave the location of this alone.  Our IS team is telling us that'simpossible to accomplish with a desktop install.  I am not usually one to second guess but I want to ensure that there is no way to allow a database hosted on a server to access a remote location when the user group is running a desktop install.  That just seems like something that people would want to do with SQL server...

Thanks for any guidance!

I am uninstalling SQL 2014 RTM and it is failing. All of the googling I have done points me to clustered installs and nodes. We do not implement any of that so I am kind of at a loss where to start.

Detail.txt attached.

For an unknown reason the primary replica is synchronized however the secondary replica was not synchronized? This is a database with few changes because it is being used to configure our application servers before we do a final full backup.   The secondary replica was in a restoring mode.  Is this normal?  Could reboots have caused this loss of data?,... please explain why the synchronization is not fixing the lost data? Or is too much data lost.    

When attempting to failover there is a warning of potential data loss.

Error below when clicking on link for replica not synchronizing.   We are using auto synch.   This is two node SQL AG.

How do we fix the below error?  I tried removing the database from the AG then deleted the secondary replica.  Next added the database back into the AG and seeded it automatically.  It finished but the below error occurred?  Synchronization was not occurring on the secondary replica.    

Also noticed when deleted the database from the secondary replica that it removes from the UI however it remains on the local drive.   Could automatic seeding have failed because these data files were there originally??  But there was no error indicating duplicate database files.  In fact the wizard finished.

How do we fix this???    

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Data synchronization state of some availability database is not healthy.

availability database is suspended.

At least one availability database on this availability replica has an unhealthy data synchronization state. If this is an asynchronous-commit availability replica, all availability databases should be in the SYNCHRONIZING state. If this is a synchronous-commit availability replica, all availability databases should be in the SYNCHRONIZED state.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

During the adding of a database to the AG the second option is "Full database and Log backup" for the Select Initial Data Synchronization step.   

Do we have to perform a full backup and log backup on the database?   It also says "these databases are restored to each secondary and joined to the AG".    Why is both a full backup and a log backup required?   When would we use this option versus the 1st option which is AUTOMATIC seeding??

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The 4th option is "Skip initial data synchronization" in the Select Initial Data Synchronization step.   It say to choose this option if you want to perform your own database and log backups of each primary database>>> what does this mean?  When would we choose this option???

Noted that we have to remove a database from a SQL AG before we can restore it?  Why is this required?   Is this because the changes are too much for a AG synch to recover from??

What other scenarios do we need to remove a database from the AG?   Do we have to remove from the AG for some SQL Alter commands?  Is it best practice to remove from AG then add back to AG after running a SQL Alter command?

Do we have to run alter command on the other secondary database if this alter query is run on a database outside the AG?  If this is done how do we add  back to the AG?,... do we use the "Join" option for synchronization.   We used Automatic seeding originally when adding this database originally to the AG however since we already have a secondary database on the secondary replica w local database files on the secondary node.

We removed the database from the AG because a sql query would not run so we ran the query then we add the database back to the AG.  We used the "JOIN" option.  However afterwards the secondary database would not synch with the primary database?   I am NOT understanding the wording used in the wizard for the JOIN option.   Is it saying that you can only use JOIN when the primary database and the secondary database are identical without any differences?,... this means even a Alter broker command could break this synchronization??  

What method do you recommend for adding back to the AG after the SQL alter command is run on a database outside the SQL AG?

Hello, I am having a problem with Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2012.  The upgrade appears to have completed successfully according to all the logs.  However, I am having a few issues now.

1) The SQL Agent does not start anymore.  It throws the following set of errors in the Event Log

Application - SQLServerAgent service successfully started.

System - An TLS 1.2 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed.

System - A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 40. The Windows SChannel error state is 1205.

Application - SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server 'MYSERVER\PROD'; SQLServerAgent cannot start).

Application - SQLServerAgent service successfully stopped.

2) I cannot connect to this server remotely from anywhere, regardless if the Windows Firewall is turned on or off

3) I can connect to the server locally and can query data with t-sql in SSMS, but when I try to pull up the SQL Log I get the error message:

It is like it is unable to remotely connect and run a query!

This is my production server so it is rather important that I get some sort of resolution on this problem fairly quickly.

I have read the article about TLS 1.2 errors but I can't understand why it would be affecting my server as this all worked just about a half hour ago...what changed in SQL Server 2012 SP3 that would prevent any remote connections to this server?

One additional piece of information.  Our domain is running at 2003 level in case this matters.

Hi,

We have installed  Microsoft SQL Server 2016 13.0.1745.2 and so far no patches were installed.

We are planning to install Service pack 2 on the QA server, is this Service pack 2 installation will cause any existing Transact SQL to fail or what are the things I need to consider before installing service pack2 !.

First I had the 1638 exit code problem. I deleted VC++ 2017, yet i have 2005,2008,2012,2013 installed.

On the next try i get the 'The system cannot find the path specified' error

How it can be fixed ? Here is the summary from the last try.

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on a laptop with Windows 7, but I'm getting an error immediately upon clicking setup.exe. Unfortunately, it's not a very helpful error message:

I've checked the prerequisites - I have .NET Framework v4 and v3.5, and Windows Powershell v2 installed. I currently have SQL 2008 R2. I've tried stopping all of the SQL services, but that didn't make any difference. Any ideas what I should look at next?

Hi,

Can you please let me know the process for migrating SQL server license from one server to another? Source and destination Windows Server OS: 2016, Source and destination SQL server version: 2016 both standard version. License will be purchased for Core-based.Windows servers are identical in terms of number of Cores, processors.
