762.0. "SQL and 1.1 possible corruption of data ..." by LEXSS1::lexser8.lex.dec.com::lombardi (PCBU Technical Support) Tue Apr 22 1997 17:31

I have a customer with the following problems pertaining to SQL on 
Clusters 1.1(SSB). I have not seen this first hand, and am taking the 
customer's word for this. However, I did not notice this with the beta 
for 1.1.



1. 	They have set up SQL Server on both of the computers 
        in the Cluster to start as Manual.
        But when either of the computers are brought on line, It appears 
        that SQL server gets started on both the computers.(??)
        In this situation, the database that they created, gets corrupted as
        a result of initiating a Manual Failover.

2. 	If they stop the SQL Server Service in Failover computer, then the 
        Cluster manager does not start on the Primary computer. It appears  
        that SQL server needs to be started on both hosts for the Cluster 
        Administrator to work.


Before I go out and investigate this, I just wanted to know if anyone has
seen anything resembling this. I thought that SQL in 1.1 could be started 
either manually or automatically. I know in 1.0, it needed to be started 
manually.

Thanks in advance,

762.1Service Pack 3 fixed the problem ...LEXSS1::lexser9.lex.dec.com::lombardiPCBU Technical SupportMon Jun 02 1997 13:516
It turns ouyt that they were using Clusters 1.0 with NT 3.51 with Clusters 
SP 2. When I loaded SP 3 for Clusters 1.0, it fixed the problem.
