sql server clustering:
Hi, Geoff Hiten I have been having issues with SQL not starting due to the
following error message:

[sqsrvres] checkODBCConnectError: sqlstate = 28000; native error = 4818;
message = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed
for user 'domain\account'

I read through MSDN newsgroup & found your article regarding this issue;
the problem started when the cluster service accounts were reset on both
nodes & SQL would not start, to keep the story short here is what we
did.

After reseting the password in Active Directory for all the service
accounts, all the services are running properly but in cluster
adminstartion the sql resource is not online.

Later I Guessed that the windows cluster login which is on the sql
server is not mapped with active Directory changes.

So I dropped the cluster service logon on sql server and re-created. <--
This seem to work but my question is why would we drop the cluster
service logon on sql server & re-create it to have sql working again.

If you can provide some insight, information, docs it would be a great
benefit.

When I re-set the password for the cluster account on both nodes & restarted
the cluster service, it started up okay but SQL would not come online; what
may cause this issue?

The cluster service has to connect to the SQL instance in order to execute
the IsAlive and LooksAlive checks. This is how the cluster service
determines whether the resource is online. When you changed the cluster
service account, it could no longer connect, therefore it showed the
resources as offline.

Are you using the same user for the SQL services that the cluster users? Did
you reset the password for the SQL services?

Cheers,

We are using different users for SQL & Cluster account; the pass for SQL was
not reset until we encountered the problem.
