How to create SQL Server 2005 Clustering with Virtual Server 2005 (Part 1)After delivering SQL Training, I realized that there is a need to write a blog which talks about Installi

SQL Server 2005 cluster on Virtual Environment. Many DBA wants to see how Cluster looks like andthey don't have capability to buy/see actual cluster.

There is an easy solution to the problem by using Virtual Server 2005.

I will try to be as descriptive as possible. In case something is not clear, please provide feedback.

PrerequisitesYou also have to download Microsoft Virtual Server (http://technet.microsoft.com/hi-in/bb738033(en

us).aspx)You also need to download ISO image for SQL Server 2005 evaluationedition(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6931fa7f-c094-49a2-a050-

2d07993566ec&DisplayLang=en)

You should also have virtual hard disk of operating system. (Download

availablehttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=77f24c9d-b4b8-4f73-99e3-c66f80e415b6&DisplayLang=en)

Above link has three files to download. You have to download all files. Once you download content

from above link, you need to extract to a folder in local machine using WIN2K3R2EESP2.part1.exe.

extracted in (E:\Virtual Server)

Please refer the readme file in above folder after you download.

NOTE: THIS SETUP WILL WORK ONLY FOR 30 days(depends on Read Me)

One you extracted the files, make three copies of virtual hard disk. One for Domain Controller, secon

for node1 and third for node2. I have created files as below:E:\Virtual Server\MyDC\MyDC.vhd

E:\Virtual Server\MyNode1\MyNode1.vhd

E:\Virtual Server\MyNode2\MyNode2.vhd

Once you have downloaded and installed Virtual Server you should see new menu item in Programs.

Now, we will configure the Virtual Servers. First we need to Create Virtual Machine so that we havethree separate virtual servers available. Make sure you set the Search Path at below screen.

On Left Side Menu choose Virtual Server > Server Properties > Search Path

Create Domain Controller

below is the screen shot of "MyDC" setting. Information which I filled in is

Virtual Machine Name MyDC

Memory 256

Use Existing hard disk Use the location from drop

down (E:\Virtual

Server\MyDC\MyDC.vhd)

Connected To Internal Network

Click on Create.

Now, Go to Master Status and try to "Turn ON" the domain controller (I know its not yet a DC but in

next step we are going to make it)

One you log in to MyDC, rename the machine to MyDC (by right click on My Computer > PropertiesYou need to restart the computer after renaming.

Next step is to run "dcpromo" command to make this machine as domain controller.

Start>Run>dcpromo

Now we have one machine ready which will act as domain controller for our cluster setup.Create Member Servers

You are now having one Domain Controller in your Virtual Network. Now, lets add two member serv

in the domain. As we did earlier, we have to add rest two vhd to server. Below screen shot is for Node

After configuration on Virtual Servers, follow below steps1. Rename the nodes to MyNode1 and MyNode2 (still in Workgroup).

My Computer > Right Click > Properties > Computer Name

Then Restart MyNode1 and MyNode2

2. Disable the Firewall on all three machines.

Control Panel > Windows Firewall

Select "Off" from the UI.

3. Change the IP address of machines.

MyNode1 - 192.1.1.2 (DNS Server 192.1.1.1)

MyNode2 - 192.1.1.3 (DNS Server 192.1.1.1)4. Join the machine to domain (MyCluster.com) Below screen shot.

This finishes setup of one domain controller and two member servers.

Now we have to make MyNode1 and MyNode2 as single cluster.lets move on toPart 2

How to create SQL Server 2005 Clustering with Virtual Server 2005 (Part 2)InPart 1we have made our Virtual network ready which is having a domain controller and two memb

servers (MyNode1 and MyNode2)

Lets start making cluster...

Create Quorum DiskFor cluster we need a Quorum disk. Below are the steps to make a Quorum virtual disk. In the menu o

Virtual Server, click on "Create" under "Virtual Disks" and select "Fixed Size Virtual Hard Disk".

After clicking there, you should get below screen. Fill in the details as shown. E:\Virtual Server\Q-

Drive.vhd is the path which I have entered. Lets give size as 250 MB.

And click on Create. you should see vhd file under path which we provided in above screen.Create heartbeat Network

Click on "Create" under "Virtual Networks" and provide below details as shown below.Give Name as HeartBeat and "Network adapter on physical computer" to be select as "None (Guests

Only)"

Click on "OK"

Add SCSI AdaptersNow to attach this to MyNode1 and MyNode2, we need to Turn Off those machine. Go to "Master

Status" link and select link to "Turn Off"Once done, we need to choose "Edit Configuration" as shown below:

At MyNode1 Configuration page, click onSCSI adapters as shown below

Then you will get a screen like below

Click on the button and fill information as below. make Sure that you check "Share SCSI bus for

clustering" and ID as 7.

And Click "OK"

You should see below on final screen.

Above Steps to be done as MyNode2 also. Difference is SCSI adapter ID. For MyNode2 it should be

as 6.

here also, Click OK once added.

Add Network Adapters

Go back to "Edit configuration" Page for MyNode1 and this time we will choose "Network Adapters"

You will get below screen

Click on "Add Network Adapter >>" and Provide "HeartBeat" network.

Hit "OK"

Follow the same steps with MyNode2 configurations

Hit "OK"Add Quorum Disk to Both Nodes

Below steps are self explanatory.

Go to Edit Configuration for MyNode1 and click on "Hard disks"

One you click, you will get below screen. Fill in the location of Q Drive which we created earlier.

Clicking on Disk Management would result in below screen.

Select all default setting and finish the Wizard (don't make any modifications)

Then Right click on the Disk and assign drive letter Q: to it (as below)

On Finishing this you would be able to see Q drive in My Computer.This finishes shared disk on MyNode1. Shutdown this Node because in order to attach and configure

shared disks to the cluster nodes, you must ensure that the other node is turned off (In our case

MyNode1 should be off).a. Logon to MyNode2 and Right-click My Computer, click Manage, and then expand Storage.

b. Double-click Disk Management.

c. The shared drives are listed, but have not been assigned a drive letter. Right-click the drive and seleChange Drive Letter and Paths.

d. Click Add.e. Use the drop-down box to change the drive letter to Q, and press OK.

Now you should be able to See Q drive in My Computer on MyNode2. This finishes setting up shared

disk for Both the Nodes.

Ahh.. this page has lots of screen and it would be slow to load. I am continuing inPart 3.How to create SQL Server 2005 Clustering with Virtual Server 2005 (Part 3)

InPart 1andPart 2,we configured till setting up Quorum drive on MyNode1.

First we need to change the IP address of heartbeat network which we added to MyNode1 andMyNode2.

Below is the screen shot of heartbeat IP on MyNode1. We need to give IP as 10.10.10.1 (once you hit

tab, subnet would come automatically, 255.0.0.0)

This would be displayed as "Local Area Network 2", you can rename it to private or heartbeat for easyidentification.

Follow the same thing on MyNode2. Provide heartbeat IP address as 10.10.10.2

Once IP Setup is done, "Turn Off" MyNode2 and Login to MyNode1. First we are going to install On

node cluster and later add MyNode2 in this cluster (we will call this as SQLCluster)1, Go to Start>Run>Cluadmin

2. Select "Create New Cluster" from the options.

15. Keep going....

16. Finally.... you are done with Windows clustering

Click forPart 4

How to create SQL Server 2005 Clustering with Virtual Server 2005 (Part 4)In previous parts(Part 1,Part 2andPart 3), we have completed windows clustering. Now, before

installing SQL Cluster we have to configure MSDTC. We also need to make some shared drive whichwe would use to keep SQL Server databases and MSDTC. We are going to use Disk M for MSDTC a

Disk X for SQL Server. We have already done the steps for Disk Q inpart 2(Create Quorum Disk

section). I will reproduce the steps for Disk M and X here.Configure Shared Disks

1. Turn off MyNode1 and MyNode2

2. Choose Virtual Disks > Create > Fixed Size Virtual Hard Disks

Test fail over for MSDTC group. This finishes all Prerequisites to install SQL Server on Cluster. Getready to install SQL Server in last part of the series.You can followhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/899191to make changes to MSDTC Services.

Lets move on tolast partof the series

How to create SQL Server 2005 Clustering with Virtual Server 2005 (Part 5)This is the last part of the series. Once you have configured windows cluster and MSDTC, installing

SQL is piece of cake. I already mentioned inpart 1that you have to download ISO (SQLEVAL.ISO)which we would need to attached as CD drive which would have setup files. I have copied the image

E:\Virtual Server\SQLEVAL.ISO

We also need to create domain account and domain groups in domain controller. So, logon to domain

controller. Go to Start > Run > DSA.msc and follow below screen-shots.

Give the details of account (i.e. SQLSVC)
