Manage MSMQ is missing from Failover Cluster Manager when configured using powershell

$
0
0

Hi,

I am hoping someone would be able to help me as I have looked on the internet for an answer to this. We deploy a number of servers that are configured using Powershell. I am in the process of creating a clustered WIN2K8R2 cluster with MSMQ. I am able to do this successfully through the Failover Mgr with no issues.  In addition, I can do this via Powershell (code listed below) with one caveat.

However, when I create the same exact MSMQ in Powershell, I am unable to right click on the MSMQ service to manage it as the "Manage MSMQ" is missing when I right click on it. The settings are the same, including dependencies. The only difference I have been able to find is the icon in the Failover Manager shows the Service as a Generic Service icon when created in Powershell, but when it is created in the GUI it shows up as the MSMQ icon. I was able to verify this in the registry in HKLM\Cluster\Groups\<GUID>\: GroupType HEX: 68 for msmq icon. When it is the Generic Service icon it is HEX: 270f. When I change it from 270f to 68, the icon changes in Failover Manager and I am able to open, but then I get an invalid handle and I am unable to manage it.

This is causing an issue, because I want to automate this build and hand it over, but they would be unable to manage it except by programming which the operators are not ready for.

Here is the code which I have created in Powershell:

    Write-host "Configuring MS MSMQ Cluster Failover..."
    $CluName = "Cluster Name"
    $ClsMSMQName = $CluName.Name + "MSMQ"
    $ClsMSMQResourceName = "MSMQ-" + $ClsMSMQName
    $Response = Read-host "Enter the IP Address of the Clustered MSMQ"

    $ClsIpRes = get-clusterresource "Cluster IP Address"
    $MSMQIpAddr = New-Object Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.ClusterParameter $ipres,Address,$Response

    Add-ClusterServerRole -Name $ClsMSMQName -Storage "Cluster Disk" -StaticAddress $MSMQIpAddr.value
    # Add the MSMSMQ Service to the new Server Role
    Get-ClusterGroup $ClsMSMQName | Add-ClusterResource -Name $ClsMSMQResourceName -ResourceType "MSMQ"
    # Create Dependencies for the MSMQ group
    Add-ClusterResourceDependency $ClsMSMQResourceName $ClsMSMQName
    Add-ClusterResourceDependency $ClsMSMQResourceName "Cluster Disk"
    # Start MSMQ group
    Start-ClusterGroup $ClsMSMQName

You would just have to change "Cluster Disk" and "Cluster Name".

Thank you

Dear All,

Kindly help me for the above.

I have tried out the following:

  1. time sync with DC - checked
  2. Re-install the feature and restart the servers
  3. check registry key value winreg - local service account read only and added domain admin account

2 days googling, no luck

Generate cluster report and error error_mod_not_found (126) reported.

Data Dedupe on 2012 clustered file server

$

This is probably a silly question so i apologise in advance, but i have a clustered 2012 file server, and I want to enable Data Deduplication. I have the role installed on both servers in the cluster. I also know that to enable it on a single server, you right-click the volume in server manager and click 'configure data deduplication'. Do i need to enable it any differently when using a cluster so that it will work on the cluster across both members seemlessly? Or do i just select the cluster file server in server manager and right click the volume like before?

many thanks.

Upgrade Windows File Cluster

Hello.

Ive just bought a new server for testing purposes, and i want to setup a Windows File Cluster - almost done :)

The File Cluster is a Two noded Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Cluster. 

Now i want to know, when the next Windows Server edition ( Windows Server 2014 or Windows Server 2015) gets released - would i then be able to add 2 new nodes to the File Cluster, and remove the 2 old Windows Server 2012 R2 nodes - and let the cluster run?

Or do i have to create a new one?

Its also a requirement, that all the data remains intact on the .vhdx disk from the iSCSI host.

SQL Server 2012 R2 Add Node Failure

$

0

Hi all!

I recently had to destroy my cluster.  I recreated the cluster ensuring that the previous cluster name was purged from AD.  I had no issues recreating the cluster.  I went through the validation of the second node, again, no issues.  However, when I try to finish the addition of the second node, the wizard hangs and displays "Waiting for notification that node mynode2 is a fully functional member of the cluster". 

The summary report shows the following:

Cluster service on node mynode2 did not reach the running state. The error code
is 0x5b4. For more information check the cluster log and the system event log
from node mynode2. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

The Event log shows the following:

1) Cluster node mynode2 could not to join the cluster because it failed to communicate over the network with any other node in the cluster. Verify the network connectivity and configuration of any network firewalls.

2) The Cluster service cannot be started. An attempt to read configuration data from the Windows registry failed with error '2'. Please use the Failover Cluster Management snap-in to ensure that this machine is a member of a cluster. If you intend to add this machine to an existing cluster use the Add Node Wizard. Alternatively, if this machine has been configured as a member of a cluster, it will be necessary to restore the missing configuration data that is necessary for the Cluster Service to identify that it is a member of a cluster. Perform a System State Restore of this machine in order to restore the configuration data.

3) The Cluster Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: The system cannot find the file specified.

The firewall and Symantec endpoints have been disabled.  I have also tried cleaning up the nodes and re-installing the Failover Cluster but the issue persists.  Is there anything in particular I should be looking for in the Cluster Log? 

Help or hints would be much appreciated.

NLB - Host Unreachable

$

0

I have a two node NLB cluster configured. It all seems to be working fine (I can see requests being directed to both nodes) but soon after config is completed and convergence has taken place I get "host unreachable" errors in NLB manager on both nodes and I can no longer control a remote node in the cluster.

If I turn off the Windows firewall on both nodes in the cluster the errors stop and I can resume controlling remote nodes. This is strange as I have all the automatically created NLB firewall rules present (see below).

Unless I disable the firewalls this is stopping me from taking a node into "drainstop"

Anyone know what firewall rule I need to add to fix this?

Cluster validation stating an update needs to be installed, but when checked, it's installed...Answers???

$

I'm setting up a simple, two node, cluster in Server 2012R2.  When doing the Validation test it states that the updates on one of my nodes is not up to date.  However, upon further investigation, I've found that most, if not all, updates the test is telling me needs to be installed are installed.  I have two other clusters that are set up the same way, the validation test came up good across the board and they have linked up nicely, but this one will not perform correctly.  The only difference between the three is the updates showing out of sync on the one cluster.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi All,

i have a question on Windows Clustering.

What happen to Cluster services if AD suddenly fail. Will the Cluster services still be able to service client requests till the time it failover or the cluster services will just fail.

CSV Direct IO When Using SAS/DAS?

$
0
0

I have set up a very simple POC for a 2-node HyperV cluster sitting on a Dell drive array. I have created a CSV and verified that failover of the VMs works as expected.

I was thinking about CSV and how redirected IO works so I decided to compare SQLIO tests between the coordinator node (the node who owns/controls the volume) and the other node.

I found my performance numbers to be much worse on the non-coordinator node (data server)

My question is - should I expect both nodes in my cluster to have direct IO access when using a DAS/SAS array?

thanks,
Dan

Ping issue with my one of my 2 IIS Clusters

$

Hello,

I'm encountering a really strange problem with one of my web server Cluster.

He can't ping any of the internal network hosts : (cannot reach host).Besides, only the other web cluster can ping him.

It's not a firewall issue, cause he exactly has the same config than the first web server cluster, and this last one can ping everyone, and can be pinged by everyone.

So server A (192.168.1.4) responds to ping, can ping everyone, including server B (192.168.1.5).

Server B can't ping anyone (host unreachable), except Server A.

(the web cluster responds to the IP : 192.168.1.6)

Thanks for the responses .

One disk in failover cluster but needs multiple volumes

I made a dumb move and did my disk in MBR instead of GPT. Now I'm at 2.5TB but can only allocate 2TB because of the limitation.

So I have about 300GB available on a cluster disk but can't seem to figure out how to create a volume out of the unallocated space and add it to my file server cluster.

Is this possible? Here is a picture of what i'm talking about:

I have add the file server role on the cluster(server 2012). But cannot bring it online. I have the following error.

Event ID 1254, 1205, 1069

Event ID 1069

The cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'WC_FS' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application.

I am also having the following error Event 1196

Cluster network name resource 'SQL Network Name (DEVSer)' fail registration of on or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:

The handle is invalid.

Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent ip address resource are configure with at least one accessible DNS server.

But i did add the DNS ip address as my primary dns server and i also can ping the dns server.

Does anyone have face this issue, any advice?

Thanks

How to add dedicated backup network to existing cluster

$
0
0

Hi Guys,

I have a 2 node SQL cluster that is setup for both SQL and file system backups. Currently the SQL backups run over the production NIC which is something i'd like to change. On the other hand the file system backups run over the backup NICs. so my question is how do I go about adding a backup network to the cluster and creating a virtual IP for the nodes to share?

The nodes are setup with the following ip information
Node 1
NIC 1 (PROD) = 10.1.2.10
NIC 2 (HBEAT) = 172.16.2.10
NIC 3 (BKUP) 10.1.200.10

Node 2
NIC 1 (PROD) = 10.1.2.20
NIC 2 (HBEAT) = 172.16.2.20
NIC 3 (BKUP) = 10.1.200.20

The cluster name responds on 10.1.2.30 where as the SQL instance responds on 10.1.2.40.

The production nic's are setup to allow cluster use
The Heatbeat NIC's are setup for Internal use
and the backup NIC's have cluster use disabled

Ideally I'd like to be able to do the following

Backup SQL using a shared IP on the backup networks i.e. 10.1.200.40
Backup the file system of NODE 1 using IP 10.1.200.10
Backup the file system of NODE 2 using IP 10.1.200.20

Thanks for the help guys!!

Windows 2012 R2 HyperV clustering

$

Hi everyone,

We have purchased 2 Windows 2012 R2 datacenter editions and trying to setup Hyper-V cluster.

I have already installed and configured Failover Cluster as windows feature, Enabled Hyper-v on both servers and created Hyper-V cluster.

Now what I want to accomplish is few things:

1. I have total of 6 Nic's per server, so dont know how to create full fail over and HA with nics (Extremely simple in VMWare)

2. HyperV cluster keep assigning 169.254 IP automatically, and also have manually configured 192.168.1.x

3. What can I use for remote management for both hosts in one window?

4. Why all Hosts cant show shared disk, only 1 server at a time can see shared disk, other server shows as Reserved.

We are using Dell VRTX, servers and storage within 1 Chassis.
All the servers and storage is connected internally
Servers has 2 internal ports plus I got 1, 4 port nic for each server, so each server will have 6 nic ports.
What I want to see if possible like wise vmware, from every host you can see and manage shared disks
All disks are SAS, but again no external connection so I think it doesn't really matter

Right now When I try to open HyperV manager, I cant even change the default VM and disk path to shared storage, as only 1 server can see it.

NOT TO MENTION BUT VMWARE IS EXTREMELY SIMPLE AND RELIABLE

Thanks in Advance.

no access to csv - clusterstorage.000 - w2k12r2

I created a 3 node cluster with different san based cluster shared volumes. These were used as csv volumes. I have 8 volumes in total. Now on

two of the nodes there is a problem accessing vms located on csvvolume 7 and 6. I noticed that there is a volume named clusterstorage.000 and that the link volume 7 (6) in clusterstorage it's not working so a live migration to the nodes always fails. To solve the issue I removed the note DRM the cluster and readded it. No change ...
