veritas/sql server 2000

  • I got a problem.  the raid card where the veritas application resides on was pulled out and then put in(while the power was off.) Once turned back on the application was dead. I restored the application and all databases including the BACKUPEXEC.  I have a problem with the sql server that resides on that disk, I can't get it back up, nearly every database is in LOAD mode. The sql agent will not start. i can't create an OBDC connection for it, so the Enteprise manager will not recognize it to try and restore those databases.  I've tried to start it in single mode but to no avail. (command line) If I could attach to the server then I would drop a couple of the users databases. I tried installing latest patch but it just timesout(windows server 2003/sp1- service patch sp3. I think half of the problem is that the msde veritas is using is on the same disk as the sql 2000 server so whatever patch i download its confused because it doens't know to which app to apply to.

    I just inherited these servers and applications (new job). So any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in ADVANCE!!!

  • i would start by seeing if any drive letters changed and making sure all the files are where they are supposed to be

  • They are all there.

    I tired this command

    BEGIN TRANSACTION

          UPDATE sysdatabases SET status = <value> WHERE name = 'model'

    commit transaction. stop single user mode

    went into server manager to start it but the model database still needs to be recovered.

  • aint this a bit****

    I guess if I would've rebooted the server after that command then everything would have came back quickly!!! but Im up and running now...I banged my head for 2 days...I need to find an ORACLE shop...LOL

  • I run both here... Trust me, stay with SQL Server...
