sql clustering 2005 problems

  • Hello,

    I am using MS Virtual Server and wanted to configure sql 2005 clustering.

    My configurations are:

    1. DC

    2. Node1

    3. Node2

    DC, Node1, and Node2 are in the domain.

    1. Bring up the DC

    2. Bring up the Node1

    3. Bring up the Cluster Administrator and started the clustering configuration.

    4. I run into serveral errors.

    Services won't start:

    Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

    Could not start the Cluster Service service on local computer.

    Errors on Clustering Config:

    The cluster node is down

    The node is already a member of a cluster but the cluster services is not running. This node will not be configured at this time

    Can someone help and advise.

    Thank you.

  • Hi Edwin,

    You could try running clusprep.exe

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=bf9eb3a7-fb91-4691-9c16-553604265c31&displaylang=en

    It runs some checks to see if you are properly configured for clustering.

    I wonder if maybe you don't have a problem with shared disk configuration. Only one node can access the shared drive at any given time. Any chance you had Node2 powered on with access to the quorum?

  • Can you describe your setup between the two nodes? Shared disk, network, etc.?

    I have written 3 parts blog for same topic.

  • THank you All for kind replied.

    My Node1 and Node2 is configured:

    SCSI 0 Fixed disk "Quarum"

    SCSI 1 Fixed disk "Sqldata"

    SCSI 2 Fixed disk "sqllog"

    Both configured on TCP/IP.

    Both Node1 and Node2 cluster services are running on Domain account "clusterAdmin".

  • My MS Virtual Server 2005 is running in Window Vista Businesss.

  • Does the account specified for the cluster service account have administrative rights to both nodes? Have you verified you can ping both nodes from each other?

  • Hello Brian,

    My clustering errors are occurred when I am in Part #3 on step 6 on Balmukund article's links.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Yes, the clusterAdmin has the admin right on both nodes. The clusterAdmin is a member of Local Groups Administrator on both machine.

    When I started the Clusrer services, I got the errors.

  • please post last 10 lines of ClCfgSrv.log

  • Where can I find the CICfgSrv.log.?

    DC, or Node1 or Node2 servers.

    Thanks,

    Edwin

  • It's going to be found at:

    %systemroot%\System32\Logfiles\Cluster\Clcfgsrv.log

    on one of your two cluster nodes.

  • Hi Brian,

    I run into problems to copy the files from Virtual Server to Host.

    Still trying to figure it out.

    Thanks for your help.

    Regards,

    Edwin

  • An easy way is to open the log file, select all, copy, and then open up notepad on the host, paste.
