Windows 2003 clustering how to




















Also, use the Validate a Configuration Wizard to review the network configuration. Returns the number of events that occur when the node failed to join the failover cluster due to an error. Check and correct any problems with the application or service associated with the resource. Adjust the properties for the resource in the cluster configuration, especially the value for the Pending Timeout for the resource.

This value must allow enough time for the associated application or service to start. Check the state of all resources in the clustered service or application. Returns the number of events that occur when the Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost. This can occur when network connectivity is lost between some or all of the nodes in the cluster, or the witness disk fails over.

It can also occur if you make a change in the cluster configuration such as increasing the number of nodes, when the number of nodes currently online is too few to achieve quorum in the new configuration. Also check network devices adapters, cables, hubs, switches, etc.

Returns the number of events that occur when the Registry Checkpoint for Cluster resource could not be restored to a registry key. Returns the number of events that occur when the Failover cluster virtual adapter has lost contact with the process. Use Resource Monitor to determine, in real time, how many system resources a service or application is utilizing. This may take several minutes if the system is critically low on resources.

To start all cluster services, right-click the cluster services node at the top and select Start All. To start a stopped cluster service, select the Cluster Services node, right-click the name of the group service in the right pane, and select Start.

System Diary. November 13, How do I remove Windows cluster? When installing a new cluster, you no longer have to reboot, which is a great time saver. If there are errors, click the Details button to help resolve the problems. If your task completed successfully, you can now log in to your cluster from the Cluster Administrator. What do you think of Windows Clustering?

Are you currently using it in your shop? Because our example is for only two nodes, the default setting works for us. Notice that under Required node is SQLA, which is the name of the physical node where we are running the setup program. In this dialog box, we must select an account with password that has administrative rights on all of the nodes where we want to install this instance of SQL Server This can be any domain account that is a local administrator of all the nodes.

The Service Account dialog box is identical to the one you see when you install SQL Server on a non-cluster, and it is configured the same. In this dialog box, you must select pre-existing global domain groups that are used to contain the startup account for each clustered service.

You can choose to add all three services to the same global domain group, or to create separate global domain groups, one for each service, as has been done above. Once you have selected appropriate domain groups, click Next to proceed.

The next four dialog boxes of the Installation Wizard, not shown here, are the same as for any other installation of SQL Server After you have completed these steps, the installation of this instance of SQL Server begins, and you see the following dialog box. The installation process will take some time as it is installing the binaries on both nodes of the cluster, and installing the system data files on the shared array. As the installation proceeds, you will want to see all green icons next to each installation step.

If any step should fail, then the entire installation process will need to be rolled back, any problems fixed, and SQL Server installed fresh. In most cases, cancelling a bad installation will uninstall what has already been installed, but not always. Sometimes, if the installation breaks, it just dies and a rollback of what has been done so far will not occur. It the install was a success, you will see a final dialog box, where you can click Finish. SQL Server clustering had now been successfully installed on the two cluster nodes.

Installing a service pack or hot fix is fairly straightforward because they are cluster-aware. Once the service pack or hot fix setup program is started, it detects that you have a cluster and will upgrade all nodes simultaneously. Once setup is complete, you may need to reboot your servers and failover the nodes. Generally, once I have run the service pack, I like to reboot the active node first. Once it has rebooted, then I reboot the passive node. This way, failover and failback is automatic.

This figure shows the cluster resources for the SQL Server cluster we just built. We see all of the names of the resources, their state, and which node the resources are running on. As I have already mentioned, Cluster Administrator is a great tool for seeing if all the resources are up and running and which node is the current active node.

Here are the steps you must take: Double check to ensure that all the nodes are working properly and are configured identically hardware, software, drivers, etc.

Check to see that each node can see the data and Quorum drives on the shared array or SAN. Remember, only one node can be on at a time until Windows clustering is installed. Verify that none of the nodes has been configured as a Domain Controller.

Check to verify that all drives are NTFS and are not compressed. Ensure that the public and private networks are properly installed and configured. Ping each node in the public and private networks to ensure that you have good network connections.

Verify that there are no network shares on any of the shared drives. If you intend to use SQL Server encryption, install the server certificate with the fully qualified DNS name of the virtual server on all nodes in the cluster. Check all of the error logs to ensure there are no nasty surprises. If there are, resolve them before proceeding with the cluster installation.

Check to verify that no antivirus software has been installed on the nodes. Antivirus software can reduce the availability of clusters and must not be installed on them. If you want to check for possible viruses on a cluster, you can always install the software on a non-node and then run scans on the cluster nodes remotely. Check to verify that the Windows Cryptographic Service Provider is enabled on each of the nodes. Check to verify that the Windows Task Scheduler service is running on each of the nodes.

NET 2. How to Install Windows Server Clustering Now that all of your physical nodes and shared array or SAN is ready, you are now ready to install Windows clustering. Rate this:.
