Next we need to add the File Share Witness. On the 3rd server we provisioned as the FSW, create a folder and share it as shown below. Once the share is created, run the Configure Cluster Quorum wizard on one of the cluster nodes and follow the steps illustrated below. This is where we will specify the Domain account we added to each of the local Domain Administrators group.
Once DataKeeper is installed on each of the two cluster nodes you are ready to configure DataKeeper. NOTE — The most common error encountered in the following steps is security related, most often by pre-existing Azure Security groups blocking required ports.
Please refer to the SIOS documentation to ensure the servers can communicate over the required ports. If everything is configured properly, you should then see the following in the Server Overview report. Complete the above steps for each of the volumes. NOTE — At this point the replicated volume is only accessible on the node that is currently hosting Available Storage.
If you want to script the installation, I have included the example below of a scripted cluster installation of SQL Server R2 into the first node of cluster. The script to add a node to existing cluster is found further down in the guide. If you use a Named Instance you need to make sure you lock down the port that it listens on, and use that port later on when you configure the load balancer.
Neither of those two requirements are covered in this guide, but if you require a Named Instance it will work if you do those two additional steps. Go to the Data Directories tab and relocate data and log files. At the end of this guide we talk about relocating tempdb to a non-mirrored DataKeeper Volume for optimal performance. For now, just keep it on one of the clustered disks.
Below is an example of the command you can run to add an additional SQL Server R2 node into an existing cluster. Congratulations, you are almost done! In order for the ILB to function properly, you must run run the following command from one of the cluster nodes.
It may simple be a GUI refresh issue, so you can also try restarting the cluster GUI to verify the subnet mask was updated. After it runs successfully, take the resource offline and bring it back online for the changes to take effect.
The final step is to create the load balancer. Add just the two SQL Server instances to the backend pool. Before you continue, run cluster validation one more time. The Cluster Validation report should return just the same network and storage warnings that it did the first time you ran it. Assuming there are no new errors or warnings, your cluster is configured correctly.
These files, by default, will not exist and may be created. This should be done on both servers. If you are able to connect, congratulations, you did everything correct! I wrote a blog article to help troubleshoot the issue. Managing the cluster is exactly the same as managing a traditional shared storage cluster. It is assumed that we are only using bit versions.
Assuming that you use only one drive letter for the operating system, and all other drive letters are available as normal cluster drives or cluster drives hosting mount points, you are limited to a maximum of 25 instances of SQL Server per failover cluster.
A mounted volume, or mount point, allows you to use a single drive letter to refer to many disks or volumes. SQL Server Setup requires that the base drive of a mounted drive has an associated drive letter. For failover cluster installations, this base drive must be a clustered drive.
Volume GUIDs are not supported in this release. The base drive, the one with the drive letter, cannot be shared among failover cluster instances. This is a normal restriction for failover clusters, but is not a restriction on stand-alone, multi-instance servers.
Take extra care when setting up your failover cluster to ensure that both the base drive and the mounted disks or volumes are all listed as resources in the resource group. SQL Server Setup validates drive configuration as part of a failover cluster installation.
Do not set dependencies for disks before Setup. Notes from MSDN: Additionally, you should exclude the following file system locations from virus scanning on a server that is running Cluster Services:. The temp folder for the Cluster Service account. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account. You are commenting using your Twitter account.
Public will be selected by default. Again this is probably not a good idea, and I'll refine this once I can connect. On the Status page confirm that "Grant" is checked under "Permission to connect to database engine" and "Enable" is checked under "Login".
Click OK to save all changes and close the Login - New dialogue. This error could be caused by one of the following reasons: A specified SQL Server instance name is not valid. The TCP, or named pipes protocols are not enabled. The firewall on the server has refused the connection. I get the following error message: Cannot connect to tcp If anyone can help me figure out why I would be very, very grateful! Thursday, June 10, PM.
I'm relieved to say that I've found the problem. You can use a raw TCP syntax: tcp One final note. Online tools are available to test ports. Hi Mark, Thank you, thank you, thank you very very very much!!!!
Many thanks. Thursday, February 10, PM. Elahi 0. So anyone if they get error 26 despite of all the measures a Correct server name b SQL Browser running c Firewall configured or even switched off Sunday, August 21, PM.
So my personal checklist is; a Correct Server and Instance if applicable name. Thanks for sharing your experience Mark - it was very helpful to me. Tuesday, August 23, AM. Adelino Adelino Araujo.
Friday, August 17, PM. Windows Firewall helps prevent unauthorized access to computers in the network. By default, Windows Firewall will be turned ON once the operating is installed. If a firewall is turned ON, and if it is not configured correctly then attempts made by the users to connect to SQL Server will be blocked. In order to access an instance of SQL Server which is behind a firewall, database administrator needs to configure the firewall on the computer that is running SQL Server to allow users access.
In this tip, we will go through the steps that you need to follow to quickly configure Windows firewall in Window Server or in Window Server R2 to allow SQL Server access to users.
This will open up Server Manager as shown in the below snippet. Right click Inbound Rules and click on New Rule Click Next to continue with the wizard.
In Protocol and Ports , specify the protocols and ports to which this rule applies.
