Hello,

I have problems with SQL-server 2014 licensing I have 1 website built on MVC5 with SQL-Server as backend and I want to create high available to it. I searched for licensing and editions and found that the basic edition who support high available is Standard Edition and I need it Server+CAL, now the problem when I create high available there will be Active and passive I read that I only need licensing for Active servers what about passive, if the passive became active will I need lisence for it ??

how many license I need ?? and can some one explain me CALS plz

Hello!

I am trying to download CU10 for SQL Server Enterprise 2014. I am using the link below, but the file won't download. i get an error message. Does anyone know an alternative link?

I'd like to have a clean uninstall procedure for SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition SP3 before I roll this out to other servers. On a lab server, I've installed SP3 (already had SP2). When I try to uninstall SP3, I run into the following:

"The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Management Studio' disk and click OK." Use source: Please insert next disk drop-down and a browse button.

What are my options here? Can't find SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 media on MSDN or anywhere else.

1) Uninstall SQL Server Management Studio first, then try uninstalling SP3? Would I have to uninstall all shared features or just SSMS to get further?

2) During the SP3 uninstall process, could I point to SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM media, then reinstall SP2?

3) Create a slipstreamed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 and point to it?

4) Something else?

What's the easiest way to proceed and why am I seeing this behavior? While there aren't likely to be problems with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3, I'd feel remiss if I didn't have a tested uninstall process for SP3. The SQL Server instances in question may have been installed with slipstreamed media (SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2)--perhaps that's why I'm seeing this. Whoever provided the slipstreamed media no longer has it.

Thanks.

upgrading from 2008 r2 eval to 2008 r2 enterprise.

Use the maintenance option from setup. Get pretty far along in the process.  But then the following error. ( an additional note. setup warns that I am running sql server on a domain controller server. )

The link the error message points to has nothing to say. Why would my sql server upgrade fail? If I have to reinstall, will I lose my database data?

thanks,

The following error has occurred:  Error reading from file: F:\Software\SqlServer2014Express_with_tools_ctp2_64\x64\setup\sql_engine_core_shared_msi\PFiles32\SqlServr\90\Shared\zdyfqffr.ico.   Verify that the file exists and that you can access it. 

How I can fix it?

Windows Update is offering KB3072779 (MSSQL Server 2012 SP3).

However, we are running MSSQL 2014 SP1 CU4 (12.0.4436.0) which was an in-place upgrade from MSSQL 2012 SP2.

This is on Windows Server 2012 R2 on ESXi 6.

I'm ignoring the update.  Seems strange that it would be offered?

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for advice on if it is possible to have SQL server function with 1 database accessed by 3 subnets when the 3 subnets are connected directly to the server and the Server's NIC  is configured with IP routing to allow access from each subnet to the SQL server to read and update information into the one database.

I have done testing previously with accessing a file share from multiple subnets by connecting those subnets directly to the server and configuring IP routing on the server but I have never done it with SQL.

I have a server with 32 cores. I need to purchase SQL Standard 2014 for this server. SQL Standard 2014 supports maximum of 16 cores. Is there any way of utilising all of 32 cores of server.

For eg. If I purchase 16 core license and install 2 instances of SQL Standard on the server. Will both instances use same 16 cores or different 16 cores.

Also 1 question is if I can install multiple instances of SQL on same server machine with single license. So to install I will need to purchase 8*2core packs or 16*2 core packs. Assuming I am using processor affinity to use all 32 cores of the server.

I have an Azure Mobile Service Scheduler Job scheduled to run with a frequency of Every 1 days at 11:45 PM.

But on some days its noticed that the scheduler job is running Twice. say if it had run once on 11.45 and it runs again at 11.46. there is no failure on the first run though . very confusing here.

i am not sure if its a known Bug ?. or am i doing something wrong.

I added a new node to a SQL Server failover cluster. When i was trying to update the SQL server 2008  r2 with SP2 on the New node I got an error . All the existing nodes already have  SQL Server service SP2, so the new node also needs to be SP2. I am getting the missing msi file error when applying SP2 to the new node.

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

The cached MSI file 'C:\Windows\Installer\df540d0.msi' is missing.
Its original file is 'sql_engine_core_inst_loc.msi' and it was installed for product 'SQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Services'
from 'E:\en_sqlserver2008r2ent_x86_x64\1033_ENU_LP\x64\setup\sql_engine_core_inst_loc_msi\',
 version '10.50.1600.1', language 'ENU'.
To resolve this problem, recover the missing file from the installation media and start setup again.
For more information about how to resolve this problem, see 'Steps to restore the missing Windows Installer cache files' (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=144387)  in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Error code 0x84B20002.

My questions are:

1) how do the msi files become missing? Are they deleted automatically or do they get deleted manually?

2) I have read articles online about how to resolve the problem. But what i need to know is how and why do the files get missing?

After doing a fresh install to see if another problem could be solved more easily. I have run into the issue of these two processes for SQL express not functioning at all upon completing my installation. The error logs are below.

Hi Expert!

We Installed SQL Server 2005 seven years back (In 2008/2009) but unfortunately  not install any service pack yet.

Following is SQL server information:

My question is that if I installed directly SP4 now, so is there any risk on running business application.....

PS: SQL server 2005 installed on Windows 2003 64 bit

Thanks

SQL Server Setup comes with a feature to generate a report of what SQL Features are installed on that local host.
  See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510455.aspx  orhttp://mssqlfun.com/2013/02/26/sql-server-discovery-report/

I want to capture that data into SCCM Inventory so that in my SCCM Reporting I can tell the difference between a host running the Management Studio and a host running SQL Server (or other services) that require licensing.

Granted, the setup command to generate the report will have to be run periodically to get the current state and each run of that report generates a new folder uniquely named at the time it ran.  That part I can probably script and execute with an SCCM package.  More so, once that data is generated, how to get it into SCCM via Inventory is the bigger challenge.

I'm sure I am not the first to have this desire so I am hoping there is a solution out there has gone through some cycles and proven reliable?

Hello!

I am trying to run some experiments using a VM and I choose an A6 instance (4 cores, 28GB, Intel Xeon processor) which shows that there are only 4 physical cores and no hyperthreading (therefore 4 logical processors).

I have also built a HDInsight cluster with an A6 instance datanode and namenodes. I connected through the remote desktop and checked for the processors available through commandline and got 4 cores and 4 Logical processors. Yet when I run my application on the cluster and check the Hadoop Yarn Status web UI for the nodes that are up and running, there is a section under cluster metrics that says "VCores Available: 8". 

Can anyone clarify why there is a discrepancy seen in the cluster?

Thank you!
