Trying to setup cluster - Report Server database format is not val



Trying to setup cluster - Report Server database format is not val isabelle

sql server reporting services: Hi,
We have a 2 node cluster and realized when we were testing failover that
reporting services was not installed on our 2nd node. So I tried to run the
SQL 2005 install and got the message "Edition Change Check - Warning. To
change an existing instance of SQL 2005 to a different edition, you must run
SQL 2005 setup from the command propmt and include SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter."
When I checked, Report Services was already installed and I went through the
Reporting Services config tool and when I try to initialize it, I get the
error: "The version of the Report Server database is either in a format that
is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. The
expected version is 'C.0.8.40'.

I have checked all the settings of the SQL Server configurations on both
nodes 1 and 2 and they look identical. I've seen on forums that the solution
is to create a new ReportServer database, but I already have the database on
Node 1 that I do not want to overwrite and what I'm trying to do is setup
Reporting Services on Node 2 so that when we failover, users can continue to
access their reports.

Any ideas or help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

The "Edition Change Check - Warning" is something that seems to happen
often even though you are installing it against the same edition. I think
this is usually when it is pointing to an instance that has a service pack
applied to it above the current install.

On your error here:
"The version of the Report Server database is either in a format that
is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. The
expected version is 'C.0.8.40'.

That is an expected error message if you already installed Reporting
Services on another node and upgraded it to SP2.

If you are installing a new instance of Reporting Services (which will be
RTM to begin with) then it will expect a DB version of C.0.8.40. To get
around that problem just apply SP2 to the instance of Reporting Services
you just installed before configuring it. That way it will expect the
C.0.8.54 version of the database and correctly save the database connection
settings.

I have a similar issue. Reporting Services is installed on the failover node
and it points to the catalog database on the active node. However, when the
node is failed over, attempts to run reports produce this error page:

The report server is unable to access encrypted data. Apply a back-up key or
delete all encrypted content. (rsEncryptedDataUnavailble) (rsRPCError)

The encryption key appears to be configured on both nodes. Restarting the
SSRS service doesn't help.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
