Upgrade advisor for SQL 2012 doesn't find the COMPUTE

$
0
0

I'm using Upgrade Advisor to upgrade from SQL 2008 SP3 to SQL 2012.

I know the COMPUTE is discontinued so I created a batch with a compute in it (see below) and run the Advisor with it,

Unfortunately the report doesn't say anything about the COMPUTE.

Why?

select database_id  cnt,LEFT(name,1)
from sys.databases
compute count(database_id)


SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Very Slow

$

Hi,

We have a multi-node SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster.

 I've noticed that the SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup is extremely slow and that it appears to only be using 1 of the 128 "CPUs" (i.e. in Task Manager).

We use this for creating new cluster groups and alike.

Is this tool only single threaded and is there a way to increase the performance? Our CPUs are 2.something GHz, we have 512GB of RAM and fast local disks.

Thanks

Cannot install SQL 2005 on a machine with SQL 2012 instance(s)

$

I am attempting to install a named instance of SQL 2005 dev edition.

The target machine already has several named instances of SQL 2012.

Setup of SQL 2005 failed with the error "An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found".

This error apparently occurs because a newer version exists from the 2012 install. However, uninstalling native client and attempting to install SQL 2005 again then fails with a similar error, but this time for the VSS writer.

This page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143694.aspx indicates that it should be possible to install SQL 2005 on a machine that already has SQL 2012 installed, but what I am seeing is that I will need to uninstall rather a lot of components of the 2012 install (probably breaking those instances) before installing SQL 2005. 

Is there a workaround for this that does not involve breaking all existing 2012 instances?

I run an in place upgrade from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012 + CU8 and now I can't open all my snapshots. why?

how can I read this snapshot ?

the error I get in the SQL Error log right after the upgrade is:

Message
Database 'SnapshotDBName' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only, has read-only files or the user does not have permissions to modify some of the files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.

and when trying to use the snapshot DB, I get this error:

Msg 926, Level 14, State 5, Line 1

Database 'SnapshotDBName' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.

SQL 2012 cluster installation fails with an IP address error

$

I am building an eight node cluster and have successfully installed two SQL instances on it. Now, I cannot install any additional instances because of the following error:

The resource with identifier 'Type='IP Address' NetworkName='Cluster Network 1' Group='SQL Server (WEBAPPS)' Resource='SQL IP Address 1 (ACHSQLWebapps)'' could not be found on the cluster. Please check if it exists.

I can verify that the installation builds the SQL Name and then adds the IP address. After the IP address comes online, the installation stops and that error pops up.  It results in a failed install that must be removed by the "Remove Node" wizard.

A search on the web comes up empty. Any ideas?

SQL Server 2012 Installed KB2793634 and it completed successfully but display error in the event log

Hi

Running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows 7 x64 SP1

One of the machines that this is installed displayed that the Windows Installer was starting repeatedly, like every 30 secs

I installed KB2793634 and everything completed successfully.  No errors in any of the Summary, Detail, etc and all check marks at the end.  I went throught the event viewer and in the application log and saw the following

Product: SQL Server 2012 Database Engine Services - Update '{4023B523-7241-4B6D-83A4-92105B0A3DC8}' could not be installed. Error code 1642. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for instructions on turning on logging support:

Is this something with the KB.  How do I find what the issue is and what do I do to fix it? Or is this a real error?

I brought up SQL Server and the issue that the KB resolves seems to been resolved.  I can connect to the instance just fine, the version of the KB has been applied to the instance so now it is at 11.0.3128

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I have been trying for days to get SQL2008 R2installed on my Windows 7 machine. SQL2008 R2/20012 have been installed previously on this machine but have been removed(By way of control panel).  I amnow trying to go back and reinstall slq2008 R2 and  the install will not get passed the window "Loadding Support Files".  In the passed it would get to this window then window would go away and the next window that would show would display the check boxes for the items it is going to install.  This window never comes up.  After the "Loading..." windows goes away nothing happens.  I have the log folder with all the information that was captured during the install attempt.  I have not been able to find anything that helps.  I also hav installed .net frameworks 4 with the extened.  Is there a place i can upload my log file for someone to take a look and point me in the right direction?  

Thank you for your help

I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Client tools on a machine that currently has Visual Studio 2008 SP1.  Towards the end of the install I see the following error.  The following description doesn't make since as I already have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1.  Could some one point me the right direction towards resolving this issue?

Hi,

I have a Windows7 64 bit machine.

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 professional on it. it gave an popup error message of microsoft .net framework cas policy manager has stopped working while installing, but when I clicked cancel it install the remaining tools. On the last screen it  showed error related to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1 (x64).

I checked that Visual studio and TFS installed correctly.

My issue started when I tried to install SQl Server 2008R2. As I clicked on the SetUp.Exe, it again gave me error of microsoft .net framework cas policy manager has stopped workingand not going any further.

I tried below options to solve it, but nothing work-

a) Uninstall VS2010

b) Disable/Enable the .NET framework 3.5.1.

c) Apply a fresh copy of installation media.

d) Verify the .NET framework 3.5 with .NET setup verification tool.

Please suggest some solution for it.

I have installed SQL 2008 R2 in a fresh win 2008 R2. I’m running the sharepoint configuration Wizard using the database server name with the correct domain credentials but I get the following error message. “Cannot connect to database master at SQL server atSERVERNAME. The database might not exist, or the current user does not have permission to connect”

I‘m able to login to the new SQL server using the “SQL server management studio” with no problems. I used the sa account and a domain account.

The sharepoint server is also a new installation. And both servers have the firewall disabled.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

We've recently upgraded our server and I'm trying to install Management Studio on a pc on our network. It is already set up on two other pc's on the network but these were set up by the company who installed the server.

When i go to do the install i get the error that the operating system is not supported. This is after i have entered the product key. However, if i try to install a free version this operating system error does not appear. IS there a limit to the number of devices that can have the Management Studio installed on? Or what might be causing this error?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Regards,

Keith
