Moving virtual server and instance names to a new server

We currently have a (2) node active/active cluster with each node ideally
hosting (2) virtual servers and their instances. We want to split the
cluster into (2) active/passive clusters and move what normally resides on a
given node to it's own cluster. Here is the catch. We have cross
server/instances queries/procedures and Access database/queries with the
Virtual Server and instance name hard coded, and creating new names isn't
really an viable option.
Here is the current setup:
Current Cluster:
NODE01
VSQL1\sqlsrv01
VSQL1\sqlsrv02
NODE02
VSQL1\sqlsrv03
VSQL1\sqlsrv04
And here is the proposed setup::
New Cluster 1:
NODE01 - active
VSQL1\sqlsrv01
VSQL1\sqlsrv02
NODE02 - inactive
New Cluster 2:
NODE01 - active
VSQL1\sqlsrv03
VSQL1\sqlsrv04
NODE02 - inactive
Can we create the servers in a different domain, moving them to our
production domain when testing has been completed? And if so, how do we
handle the fact that the VSQLx and named instances already exists in Active
Directory? Can the old server just be turned off, the new one brought up and
added to the domain by resetting the current domain accounts and re-joining?
Of course. Does anyone have a good solution, I'm all ears. Thanks

That can't be your current setup. Your current setup is probably more like:
NODE01
VSQL01\sqlsrv01
VSQL02\sqlsrv02
NODE02
VSQL03\sqlsrv03
VSQL04\sqlsrv04
I'd probably just do a switchover with the current cluster. First, get the
necessary database files to a staging server. Then, remove the cluster from
the network. But keep it as your rollback plan. Create two new clusters and
install SQL instances as follows:
New Cluster 1:
NODE01 - active
VSQL01\sqlsrv01
VSQL02\sqlsrv02
NODE02 - inactive
New Cluster 2:
NODE01 - active
VSQL03\sqlsrv03
VSQL04\sqlsrv04
And finally get the database files from the staging server to their
respective new servers.

|||Yes, you are correct regarding the Virtual Server naming (careless cutting
and pasting on my part). Ideally, we would like to test the new cluster for
several days prior to bringing it live. My main concern is that the reusing
of the names doesn't cause a problem. Am I correct in my assumtions that AD
isn't involved in the virtual server or instance naming and that the only
network ties are through the DNS entries?
ALso, would you expect that any issues with restoring the master and msdb to
the new cluster instances (any references to the old nodes etc...)?
Thank you.

Moving SQL Server 2000 from an NT4 to Active Directory

Hi,
I'm afraid that I'm not very familiar with SQL Server so I was
wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of what to
check?
We have just moved a SQL Server from NT4 to AD, all seems to go well
database started up ok and we were able to gain access to the data.
However we found a problem when running one of our internal web apps
which connects to SQL using a script file. The script file has changed
at all since we moved domains and we haven't changed the access rights
of the database user specified within the database. When we try to
login to the web app we get a page can't be displayed error, featuring
the following information
Error Type:
Mircosoft OLE DB provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired
/sar/includes/connection.asp, line 13
Page:
POST 51 byres to /sar/login/login_do.asp
Post Data:
txtUsername=TEST&txtPassword=Password&Submit=Login
I was wondering if it has anything to do with WINS, we haven't yet
migrated over the WINS Server as there are a couple of things we have
to do before we can change the domain.
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Jamie
It could be a name resolution problem. You can force the use of DNS by using
a fully qualified domain name in your connection string.

Moving SQL 6.5 from NT 4.0 to W2K3. Please help

Hello,
As part of Active Directory migration (from NT 4.0 to Server 2003
Enterprise), we will be replacing our current SQL server hardware with a
newer server which will be running windows 2003. Can anyone point me to any
document on how to go about doing this please. I am very new to SQL
migration, what are the things that I should be watching? The customer does
not want to upgrade to SQL2000 (prefers to stay with 6.5). Any issues with
doing that?
ThanksHi
SQL 6.5 is not supported on Windows 2003, and neither is SQL Server 7.0
SQL 6.5 is no longer supported since 31-Jan-2002 and SQL 7.0 dies
31-Dec-2005.
SQL 2000 is his only option.
