SAL SERVER FAILED TO COME ONLINE

  • We have the sql server 2008 sp1 installed on the Windiows Server 2008 R2 two node failover cluster.

    We recently added a new lun to the cluster and after that when we tried the failover the cluster resources show up but the sql server service and agent do not start

    event id : 1609

    Cluster resource 'SQL Server (xxxxxxxxx)' in clustered service or application 'SQL Server (xxxxxxxxxxx)' failed.

    this is the error i see in the cluster events can any one please help me out with this.

  • What messages are in the SQL error log? (It's a text file, called ERRORLOG. Where it will be depends on where you installed SQL)

  • Did you add the new LUN to the cluster group and define the dependency on it for the SQL Server service to start?

  • have you exposed the LUN to both servers?

  • Is the pathing setup correctly for the new LUN?
