Change SQL Server Collation in a CLuster

  • Hi there,

    I'm usign SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Win2k8 R2 Cluster.

    For Single Instance I'm using this parameters:

    How is it for clusterd Instances, are there any special parameters?

    Thanks for reply

  • It's probably less of a pain to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server, but if you want to do it this way it should work fine, just make sure you put the SQL resource offline (has to be done when you rebuild any system db).

    Once its done, move the instance to another node to make sure everything is still running as expected.

  • I used this syntax

    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=rebuilddatabase VS= [RESSOURCE]

    /INSTANCENAME=[INSTANCE]

    /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="[ACCOUNT]"

    /SAPWD="[PASSWORD]" /SQLCOLLATION=[COLATION]

    IT seams everything is ok.

    better then reinstall 4 Instances on 4 Nodes 🙂

    Thanks anyway for your reply

    cheers Sam

  • Here is the script I use but did not work in clustered WINDOWS 2008R2 and SQL 2008R2 ENT 64bit, 2 nodes. I might have wrong VS name, if yes, what is the command to find correct VS name? No need SAPWD in Windows Authentication mode.

    Please help.

    setup.exe

    /q

    /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE VS=SQL SERVER

    /INSTANCENAME=ABCD123

    /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="DOAMIN/XYZ"

    /SQLCOLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AI

    Thank you in advance.

  • either go into Failover Cluster manager open the group and get the resource parameter from there or from a command prompt use

    cluster group "groupname" /prop
