We have a two node SQL Cluster whose primary database is named ‘FM’. That database was created at the same time as the cluster and the data files for that database are located in the ‘E:\MSSQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data’. We tested the failover several times before we put this into production last July.
In September, another database was added to the same SQL Instance. It is called ‘DMI’, and its data files are located in the same directory as FM’s data files.
When I failed over the cluster a few days ago, everything went fine except the DMI database wasn’t available from Server 2. I quickly failed back over to Server 1.
How can I resolve this? Do I have to add the DMI database as a separate resource?

In a cluster the whole instance does a failover and all databases inside the instance should be available after the failover.
Did you get any errors in the SQL Errorlog or Windows application log?

Mark,
Thanks for answering. In response to your question regarding error messages in the SQL or windows error logs, I can't find anything that would indicate why the DMI database wasn't available - but I'm new to both clustering & SQL server, so I may very well be missing something that would be obvious to someone else. Here is the SQL error log for that day:

Paul,
the part of the errorlog you've posted is from before the failover. I would be more interested in the errorlog after the failover if it contains any messages why your database didn't start.

December 11, 2008 at 2:21 pm
The section of the log that you have provided appears to be from when the service was shutdown (prior to the failover).
We would need to see the section of the log when the service started up on the secondary node.
In the meantime, please verify where the data and log files reside for that database.

I see no references to the DMI database - either starting up or shutting down. That would tell me that the database does not exist in that instance. Do you have any portion of the SQL Server log that shows that database starting up?
I only need to see the portion of the log up to where the database is started and recovered. It should look like: Starting up database 'DMI'. There will also be a message in the log for the CHECKDB operation on that database after it was started.

JHeffrey,
The only mention of the 'DMI' database in any log on that day is in the Windows Application Event log on FusuionDB1 - from when I failed it back over to FusionDB1 from FusionDB2:
12/3/20084:05:15 PMMSSQLSERVERInformation-217137N/AFUSIONSQLStarting up database 'DMI'.
12/3/20084:05:16 PMMSSQLSERVERInformation-23454N/AFUSIONSQLRecovery is writing a checkpoint in database 'DMI' (6). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Now that I know what to look for, can you tell me how to troubleshoot why it didn't start up when I failed it over from FusionDB1 to FusionDB2?
Thank you,
Paul

At this point, I really could not say how to troubleshoot this problem. It appears (to me) that the DMI database does not reside in that instance of SQL Server. Is it possible that you have installed multiple instances on the cluster?
You really should be able to see that message in the SQL Server log. SQL Server will log that message for every database that it starts up.

Could you or someone have installed this database on one of the individual instances and not the virtual?
December 12, 2008 at 10:28 am
Jeffrey & Steve,
It's hard for me to say exactly how DMI was installed, because the vendor installed it using a sql script on 9/4/08. When I open SQL Server Mgt Studio and connect to the FusionSQL instance the DMI database appears directly above the FM database in the 'Databases' directory. The permissions look the same on both databases. The DMI database works fine on the FusionDB1 node. It's just when I fail over to FusionDB2 that it doesn't start. This is a production system that I can't take down except briefly in the wee hours of the am. Any ideas on what to try next? Even if not, I really appreciate the time all of you have taken to try to help me with this.

Well, to be perfectly honest I am now at a complete loss. You really should be able to see that database being started by SQL Server. It really shouldn't matter what node you are on - when the system is restarted.
However, having just said that - where exactly are the log files stored? Are the log files on a shared/cluster resource, or are they on the C: drive? Not sure why somebody would move them to a non-clustered resource though.
You wouldn't happen to know if you are using mount points for your database files? Heck, I am just throwing stuff out there for consideration.
Any way you could identify how the cluster is actually configured? What cluster groups do you have, what resources are assigned in each group and what are their dependencies?

Jeffrey,
The log files are stored on the 'E:SQLData' drive, which is a cluster resource. The full path to the directory is "E:\MSSQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG".
I don't know about the 'mount points' question. I'll research what that means and get back to you on that one.
The cluster includes two groups:
The 'Cluster Group' which has the following resources:
Cluster IP Address (No dependencies) (Type=IP Address)
Cluster Name (Dep=Cluster IP Address)
Disk Q (No dependencies) (Type=Physical Disk)
Fusion Audio (Dep=Voice Files) (Type=Physical Disk)
MSDTC (Dep=Cluster Name & Disk Q) (Type=Dist Trans Coor)
TSM Client Acceptor fusiondbcl (Dep=Cluster IP Address, Cluster Name, Disk Q:, Voice Files) (Type=Generic Service)
Voice Files (No dependencies) (Type=Physical Disk)
The 'SQL Group' which includes the following resources:
Analysis Services (Dep=SQL Data & SQL Network Name (FusionSQL)) (Type=Generic Service)
SQL Data (No dependencies) (Type=Physical Disk)
SQL IP Address 1 (FusionSQL) (No dependencies) (Type=IP Address)
SQL Network Name (FusionSQL) (Dep=SQL IP Address 1 (FusionSQL)) (Type=Network Name)
SQL Server (Dep=SQL Data & SQL Network Name (FusionSQL)) (Type=SQL Server)
SQL Server Agent (Dep=SQL Server) (Type=SQL Server Agent)
SQL Server Fulltext (Dep=SQL Data) (Type=Generic Service)
Everything in both groups is online. Everything in both groups was online when I failed over to the other server. Very strange.
Thanks again,
Paul

Everything looks right - don't see anything that jumps out and says there might be a problem with the cluster setup.
Sorry, I can't think of anything else to look at.

This topic may be closed. This issue fixed itself somehow. The next time I failed it over, everything worked like it should. A momentary glich of some kind.
