sql server clustering:
Hi
My configuration is Windows 2000 Adv. server SP4 and two istances of SQL
2000 sP3.
I just updated the OS from sp3 to SP4 last night and now when i open Ent.
Mgr from any desktop or console pc and when opening the Database folder on
node2 comes up with no items " i don't see any databases", and in Management
i don't see the jobs or what's runnig or what's not.
Didn't know wherwe to post this on sql group or the cluster group,can some
one shed some light on this issue is it a known issue when upgrading the os
to sp4 or is there any thing i need to reconfigure to make it work.
since it has been less than 24 hours on the upgrade i cam across seeing once
or twice and not most of the other time ???
Thanks and regards

Upgrades are never your friend. Nuke and pave my friend. Then restore the
DB's from backup!

Cheers,

Hi Layth,

Just in case anybody else has this problem. Here is some more info on it.

The problem exists after the Windows SP4 install as it somehow corrupts the
database version in sysdatabases.
To fix this and determine if you have the same problem, execute the
following statement in master with Query Analyzer:

PROBLEM
==========
select * from sysdatabases

This should return something like (the value may differ):

Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 22003)
Error 220: Arithmetic overflow error for that data type smallint, value=32826.
Arithmetic overflow error for data type smallint, value=32826.
The statement has been terminated.

CAUSE
==========
An offline database had a version value of 32826 (or whatever you value is)
in the "version"
field, which is too large for a smallint datatype column in the
sysdatabases table.

RESOLUTION
============
It will fall over when it when it gets to the database with the incorrect
"version" and will NOT
show you the name of the database, so you will need to know the actual
name of the database. Keep in mind you CAN see the list of databases in
QA, but NOT the
problem database, so it's NOT the next one in the list when you run
the select query.
Once you identify your culprit. Run the Alter
database statement to set the database back online:
"ALTER DATABASE databasename SET ONLINE".

That should fix it.

Cheers
Richard
