Big problem after moving master database

  • Hi, I've just moved the master database to a new disk. After that I changed the startup parameters to point to those new files. It worked perfectly, but at the time of changing those parameters in the failover server (it's clustered) using the command line I couldn't make it. So after several failovers something really weird happened: SQL Server says it can't find the master.mdf file... But what it is really strange: SQLServr.exe was completely corrupted in one of the servers (the one I changed first), being 0Kb long!!! Now I have both servers well configured (I made it with regedit) and I have tried to point back to the previous disk, but it says the same. I've looked also at the effective permissions for the service user, at the locks over the files, read only, etc... No result... I have a backup, but I don't know how to rebuild it since I can't start SQL Server even with -T3607

    Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

  • Could you failover your nodes? If not, your cluster is broken. You may have to rebuild your cluster.

  • I can failover the nodes, but SQL Server won't work.

  • You need to do a fresh installation and rebuild the cluster.

  • Ok, thanks. I think it's a registry entries issue.
