Re: MSI unable to start the SQL instance service



Use the cluster.exe command-line utility to stop and restart instances from
within a script.

Geoff,
Yes this is correct.

If the SQL instance services need to be restarted, what is the recommended
way?

Then you have three instances, which will show up as three different
services on each node. You still need to leave them under the control of
the cluster service.

Geoff,
The configuration is an Active-Active-Active one. Hence the SQL service
will
run on each node.

The SQL service exists on all three nodes, but is only supposed to run
on
one node at a time and then only under the control and direction of
the
Cluster Service. You do not have to cycle the service to determine if
it
is
running, you can use the cluster.exe application or the WMI
application
interface to determine if aclustered instance is running.

Hi,
I am deploying a SQL on a three node active cluster setup. Each node
will
have a SQL instance running in the cluster virtual server context.
This
is
the baseline setup required for deploying application databases on
the
three
SQL instances. Application databases are deployed using an MSI which
creates
the database, roles, accounts etc.

The problem that I am facing is that when the Application Database
MSI
executes, it will first recycle the SQL instance service to ensure
that
it
is
up and running. At that point it is successfully able to stop the
service
but
fails to start the service giving the below error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11920
Date: 10/12/2006
Time: 2:50:05 PM
User: myDomain\sql_account
Computer: SQLSERVER01
Description:
Product: Application Database -- Error 1920. Service 'MSSQL$\VS01'
(MSSQL$\VS01) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient
privileges
to
start system services.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

The SQL service account has all the permissions on the machine. It
is a
domain admin account with local admin privileges. It also has
SystemAdmin
role on the SQL instance.

Can anyone tell me if there are any permissions that are missed that
could
cause the above error?
Is there a security setting that I can check to validate
permissions?

Thanks,
Mehul
