Replace master and model database

  • I have run into an issue where i am getting error:

    Error: 17310 Severity: 20 State: 1.

    Which cause SQL Server to reboot 4 times during a backup procedure. What I have read this is a bug: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/511751/sql-server-2008-error-17310-severity-20-state-1-crash-and-restart

    This appears to be a command issued by a thrid party tool for backups. So I looked at the machine (I Inherited) and found that the only 2 databases running on this machine meet the above bug master and model.

    model2003-04-08 09:13:36.390100

    master2003-04-08 09:13:36.390100

    The files in the binn folder have a date of 2010-04-02

    The question I have if I rebuild the master and model does it actually replace the dbs?

    I am assuming based on the dates that the original dba or who ever restore these dbs from a 2000 version sql server, and I do not know why.

    If I have missed something else let me know your input.

    I'm hoping to avoid rebuilding entire windows server.

  • Possibilities that come to mind are a misdone in-place upgrade, or someone really badly messed up and restored the wrong backup of those. I'm not even sure that's possible, but it's plausable, and I don't have a server I can try it on right now. (My proof of concept server is being used for a different kind of test at the moment.)

    I'd try rebuilding them. It seems like the simplest place to start.

  • Yes, that was my thoughts, only worry is that it will screw the whole thing up.

    running a rebuild will replace them, if you're lucky you may be able to restore the master and msdb as user databases and script out the objects you need 😉

  • SQL itself won't allow you to restore an older master db (not sure about the model db, but it likely doesn't contain critical data anyway). Something else must be going on.
