SQL 2000 Cluster Connection Problem



SQL 2000 Cluster Connection Problem vincentw56
1/31/2007 1:14:01 PM
sql server connect: I have a weird problem. I have a web application that is in ASP.NET 2.0. It
was connected to a SQL 2000 single server no problem. I changed the
connection to our SQL 2000 cluster and it won't connect. It gives me this
error:

Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

If I change it to TCP/IP as the provider it gives me this error:

provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the
target machine actively refused it.)

The funny thing is it works fine on the other server and all the permissions
are correct. Also, if I go to the server that hosts the web site, I can
setup an ODBC connection using named pipes, but not TCP/IP. On the SQL
cluster TCP/IP and Named Pipes are both enabled and TCP/IP is set to port
1433.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Vincent

I would like to know if you could setup an alias to connect to the server.

1. Click the SQL Server Client Network Utility.

2. Click the Alias Tab. Then click the Add button.

3. In the Add Network Library Configuration dialogbox, select the TCP/IP in
the Network Librabies section. Type the alias you want to use. And then
type the server name in the server name box.

4. Click OK and then try to setup a UDL file to connect to the sql server
cluster.

Please let me know if you could resolve this issue.

Sincerely,

Wei Lu

I setup the alias and the UDL file. It says it can't find the server or
access denied. How will it find the alias? Does it register it in DNS?
Thanks.

Yes, where it says select or enter a server name, that is where I put in the
alias. And it doesn't connect. Maybe I don't understand 100% of what I
should be doing. I know I have the alias right, but maybe I am missing
something with the UDL file. Thanks.

I found this in the SQL error logs: 2007-01-25 13:21:04.65 server
SuperSocket Info: Bind failed on TCP port 1433. That must be why it can't
use TCP/IP. I don't see any reason why it won't work on named pipes though.
I need to find out what is blocking port.

Hello Vincent,

Have you tried to specify the alias in the UDL file?

It has been resolved. The problem was IP related. I am not sure exactly
what happened. I went through about 20 KB articles and did several Google
searches and nothing I did worked. I started looking through the registry
entries for the SQL server. I found a place where there was an IP address
and it was 10.0.22.227 and the SQL server is 10.0.22.229. I pinged the other
address and it doesn't even ping. I changed the IP to the correct one and
restarted the service. I then checked the SQL server error logs and it bound
to the correct port. Thanks for your help.
