Hi every one.

I have an Availability Group (Always On) and i have to change the system databases paths to another drive.

I've recently test it with stopping the SQL server and copying the system databases files to another drive. then i changed the drives letters and started the SQL Server. But it gave me some warnings in Availability Group Dashboard about not synchronizing databases. 

can you guys help me out please. 

Hello Guys.I have a SharePoint 2013 Farm and databases are hosted on remote SQL servers with alwayson configure for HA. 

When i manually failover from primary to secondary, the website for SharePoint convert to Read Only mode. When i try to run the ClearMaintenanceMode powershell, it returns error and specify that a content database is in Read only mode. When i check the database state in SQL Management Studio (Database Properties> Options> State> Database Read-Only), i found it is False 

Any Ideas ?

Thanks

win 2016 server std cluster sql server 2017 production

all recent patches applied.
SSMS 2017 latest version.

Attaching 2012 database to SQL server instance 2017 took long time and error log showed inconsistency errors.
After the process was killed users were unable to connect to the SQL server instance.

What happened to SQl Server instance? why users were unable to connect to the instance?

Hello,

I am using SQL Server 2014, SP2, Enterprise edition, on both old and new instances. I am trying to restore a backup (about 360 GB) of a TDE enabled database on to the new instance.   The certificate had expired on the source server, so, created a new certificate on source and then restored on to the new instance.  I also created the master key on the new instance.  I made a copy-only backup of the database and copied on to the server where new instance is located.  When I tried to restore the database I keep getting "No backupset selected to be restored" error.  Restore Filelistonly and Restore Verifyonly check on backup file come back with no issues on the new instance.   However, Restore Headeronly comes back with error below.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 118
RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally.

After this attempt failed, I created a blank database manually and enabled encryption on after running the following in the database context.

CREATE DATABASE ENCRYPTION KEY
WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256
ENCRYPTION BY SERVER CERTIFICATE <cert name>

Now I am trying to restore on top of the new database using SSMS but it is stuck at "Reading backup device header" file for more than an hour.

Please shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have two instance configured in Always On High Availability with another one in another Datacenter :

NODE1 (master) + NODE2 (slave not readable) ==> Datacenter 1

NODE3 (standby read only) ==> Datacenter 2

On NODE1/2 i have 2 tables InMemory configured with DURABILITY = SCHEMA_ONLY on database DB1

On NODE1/2 i have 44 files with 2Gb total size in $HKv2 directory.

but the issue is on NODE3 where DB1 is in Standby mode with read only.

Archivelog are restored in DB1 on NODE3 with NORECOVERY and STANDBY mode

ON NODE3 i have more than 5K files with 253Gb total size in MSSQL_DATA\$HKv2 directory

chkcp files for InMemory table are delete where checkpoint is made, for NODE1/2 there is no problem.

But on read only database in NODE3 the chkcp files are not purged maybe because the database is read only and deleting chkcp file need to write in database for change ?

Anyone else have to deal with this issue ?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks

Christophe

Good morning,

I have multiple .bak files that I need to verify for one database. However, an issue has occurred when it would be beneficial for me to be able to get an error (if there is one) for all of the files. Example, if the third and fifth bak file is invalid, I would like to receive an error message for both files. The following is the code I have so far. Should the continue_after_error clause result in multiple error messages if there are multiple errors? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Win2k12 r2 OS, SQL2k12 Ent edition. Two node fail-over cluster hosting a 1.5 tb synchronized database (Synchronous commit). Both the servers are from the same subnet. Seeing following error in the cluster events. After a few minutes, the AG resource comes back online again:

At that time, I see following in the sql server logs:

Message
SQL Server hosting availability group 'AOGrp1' did not receive a process event signal from the Windows Server Failover Cluster within the lease timeout period.

Message
Error: 19421, Severity: 16, State: 1.

Here is the partial capture from the cluster logs. Is this related to network connectivity or something else?

I have a primary site at Azure East-US-2 region and my DR site is at Azure paired zone in Central-US.
Now in East-US-2, G-series machines are available but no such machines available in Central-US zone. I really want to use G-series VM's for SQL server as the workload is more memory intensive and less cpu intensive. 
So can I create a cluster with 2 G-Series SQL nodes at primary site and 1 D-series SQL node at DR site? If it's possible then will I face any problem because of this configuration in future?

Hello, i´m considering a setup that i don´t know the correct licensing requirements.

Assuming i have software assurance so i can have these licensing benefits (free failover instance) you can see in the official licensing documentation.

If i have the next setup:

3 node cluster formed of:

2 node failover cluster of sql enterprise (high core count each) in one site, one node active and other passive for the main site.

A third node in other site with always on AG asynchronous databases in warm state (no queries, only for disaster recovery purposes)

Then, i only have 1 server accepting "queries" or production use, then:

Can i only license the enterprise core licenses for 1 host?

Or we need to cover some of the other nodes? Seems that official documentation is not clear about this concrete setup...

Hi, 

We SQL Server 2016 Enterprise Edition Active - Passive Clustering (SQL_INS_DC) at DC and same (SQL_INS_DR) at DR.

110 database are created at DC instance SQL_INS_DC. We want to configure Always On AG between DC & DR. We have good hardware configuration.

Please let me know how many databases can be added in one SQL Server Availability Group suppose AG1.

Hi All,

Is there any script, to know when the database added to SQL Server Alwayson Group.

please let me know.

Thanks,

Thanks, Satish Kumar. Please mark as this post as answered if my anser helps you to resolves your issue :)

What name should be register for SPN in Always-on deployment ?

1. The AG listener name and port or  

2. The replica node name ( cluster node name )

I executed a query using SQLCMD on 2019-01-30, and the query caused ldf file to bloat exponentially and it became 2TB in size(2,216,539,357 rows), then my MSSQL started rollback of transaction at 2019-02-01. I used KILL SPID WITH STATUSONLY to monitor the rollback process: progress of rollback was about 2% a day for first two weeks, afterwards the rollback process got stuck at 22% from 2019-02-14, and it's still there today.

I'd appreciate if I can get expert opinion on if there is any way to fix this issue - how to stop or speed up rollback?

Please find below code details about this issue:
