ALTER DATABASE statement failed.

 

 

Below are the steps I did to resolve the error.

 

  • Remove DBName from AAG

  • Enable Service Broker

ALTER​​ DATABASE​​ DBName​​ SET​​ ENABLE_BROKER;

 

  • Verify Service Broker Enabled

SELECT​​ is_broker_enabled​​ FROM​​ sys.databases​​ WHERE​​ name​​ =​​ 'DBName';

 

  • Add DBName to AAG

SQL Server – Adding a Database to AlwaysOn Availability Group

I usually restore the backup file to the secondary replica WITH NORECOVERY state before I add database to AlwaysOn Availability Group (AAG).

 

The following are the steps to add a​​ database to AAG.

 

 

  • Expand​​ Availability Groups. Right-click​​ Availability Database. Choose​​ Add Database.

 

 

 

  • Click​​ Next.

 

 

 

  • Tick the database that you want to add. You will notice that under status​​ columm, the message is “Meets​​ prerequisites”. This is because I have already restored the database with norecovery status in the secondary replica.

 

 

 

 

  • Choose​​ Join Only.

 

 

 

  • Connect​​ to existing secondary replicas.

 

 

 

 

  • Click​​ Next.

 

 

 

 

  • Click​​ Finish.

 

 

 

 

  • Click​​ Close.

SQL Server – Capturing Blocking Information (Enhanced SQL Script)

When the database that I’m handling was experiencing excessive blockings, below is the script I use too see what are being blocked and which stored procedure is the blocker. Blocking​​ is when one connection needs access to a piece of data and has to wait for another connection’s lock to clear.

  SELECT  blocking.session_id AS blocking_session_id,
         blocked.session_id AS blocked_session_id ,
         waitstats.wait_type AS blocking_resource ,
         waitstats.wait_duration_ms ,
         waitstats.resource_description ,
         DB_NAME(tl.resource_database_id) AS DatabaseName,
         blocked_cache.text AS blocked_text ,
         blocking_cache.text AS blocking_text
       FROM 
         sys.dm_exec_connections AS blocking
         INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_requests blocked
         ON blocking.session_id = blocked.blocking_session_id
         CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(blocked.sql_handle)
         blocked_cache
         CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(blocking.most_recent_sql_handle)
         blocking_cache
         INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks waitstats
         ON waitstats.session_id = blocked.session_id
         INNER JOIN sys.dm_tran_locks tl
         ON tl.lock_owner_address = waitstats.resource_address
WHERE waitstats.wait_duration_ms >= 2000

The above query is okay but we were able to enhanced the script by adding columns to see what objects that are being blocked. Below is the enhanced version of the script.

 ;WITH T1 AS (
         SELECT blocking.session_id AS blocking_session_id ,
                blocked.session_id AS blocked_session_id ,

The current WSFC cluster quorum vote configuration is not recommended for this availability group.​​ 

For more information, see the following topic in SQL Server Books Online: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=224159.

  • When validating WSFC quorum vote configuration, the AlwaysOn Availability Group Wizard shows a warning if any of the following conditions are true:

    • The cluster node that hosts the primary replica does not have a vote. If this vote is not required for that environment, then this message may be ignored. Powershell command to check vote is “Get-ClusterNode | f1 Name, Nodeweight”.

    • A secondary replica is configured for automatic failover and its cluster node does not have a vote. If this vote is​​ not required for that environment, then this message may be ignored.

    • KB2494036 is not installed on all cluster nodes that host availability replicas. This patch is required to add or remove votes for cluster nodes in multi-site deployments. However, in single-site deployments, it is usually not required and you may safely ignore the warning.

    • While setting up the availability group in the wizard, you configured a replica to asynchronous availability mode. This warning is only reported in SQL 2012 RTM, not in​​ SP1 of SQL 2012 RTM.

SQL Server AlwaysOn (patching/updates in SQL 2012)

 

AG on Standalone Instance

 

Patching steps:

 

  • Patch the secondary replica (B)

  • Bring the secondary replica online (will be new version)

  • Log the original synchronization configurations for each replica.​​ Change the secondary replica and primary replica to “Synchronous Commit” mode, waiting for the secondary replica (B) to be “synchronized.”

    • This will ensure there is no data loss during failover.

    • You can check dashboard or dmv: dm_hadr_database_replica_states for the status

  • Issue a failover through SSMS or T-SQL to failover the AG to the secondary replica. So now the new primary is B, the new secondary is A

  • Patch the original primary replica (A)

  • Bring the original primary replica (A) online (will be new version )

  • Wait for A to become “Synchronized”​​ 

  • Failover the AG back to A

  • Change each replica’s synchronization mode to the original configurations you logged in step3.

 

 

Caveat list:

  • Before you patch, you can still keep automatic/manual failover setting no change. Just a reminder: if during patching time, primary is down, automatic failover may fail if the secondary hasn’t completed the patching.

 

  • If primary and secondary replicas are in multisubnet, your client may experience a little bit longer time of disconnection or timeout during failover.

  • Please do remember to switch back to your original synchronization mode.

 

 

AG on FCIs (Failover Cluster Instances)

 

FCI on AG deployment Example

  • Primary replica(A): FCI1​​ 

    • Node1 – active

    • Node2 - passive

  • Secondary​​ Replica(B): FCI2​​ 

    • Node3 – active

    • Node4 - passive

​​ 

Choose between one of the following two options:

 

Longer downtime, less steps

(FCI rolling patching).

 

Patching steps (basic):

  • Patch Node4

  • Move FCI2 from Node3 to Node4​​ 

  • Patch Node3

  • Move FCI2 from Node4 to​​ Node3

  • Patch Node2

  • Move FCI1 from Node1 to Node2

  • Patch Node1

  • Move FCI1 from Node2 to Node1

 

Optimized downtime, more steps

(Leverage AG failover patching).

 

​​ 

 

Patching steps (optimized):

  • Patch Node4

  • Move FCI2 from Node3 to Node4

  • Patch Node3

  • Move FCI2 from​​ Node4 to Node3

  • Log the original synchronization configurations for each replica. Change the secondary replica and primary replica to “Synchronous Commit” mode, waiting for the secondary replica (B) to be “synchronized”.

  • Manually failover AG from FCI1 to FCI2 (now the new primary is on FCI2, the new secondary is on FCI1)

  • Patch Node2

  • Move FCI1 from Node1 to Node2

  • Patch Node1

  • Move FCI1 from Node2 to Node1

  • Manually failover AG from FCI2 back to FCI1

  • Change each replica’s synchronization mode to the original configurations you logged in step #5.

 

Caveat list:

** Please use basic patching steps if primary and secondary are on different data centers/subnets **

  • FCI rolling patch guarantees zero data lost

  • Use synchronous commit secondary on a high latency network​​ would impact OLTP performance

  • AG failover cross subnets might cause up to 20 seconds delay on client first connections.

SQL Server – The Transaction Log for Database is Full Due to Replication (Error 9002 Severity 17 State 6)

We have a 3 node AAG (below is our setup). Our transaction log file has a growth limit of​​ 60GB. I found out that this error occurred because the CDC failed. I could not start CDC and the transaction log is not truncating.

 

 

I checked the log_reuse_wait_desc and it indicated REPLICATION which means that there are committed transactions that haven’t yet been scanned by the transaction replication Log Reader Agent job for the purpose of sending them to the replication distributor or harvesting them for​​ Change Data Capture​​ (which uses the same Agent job as transaction replication). The job could have been disabled, could be broken, or could have had its SQL Agent schedule changed.

 

SELECT​​ name,​​ recovery_model_desc,​​ log_reuse_wait_desc

FROM​​ sys.databases

WHERE​​ name​​ =​​ 'DB_Name'

 

 

 

I also ran the command DBCC OPENTRAN and saw Replicated Transaction​​ Information.

 

 

 

To resolve the issue, I did the following steps.

  • Create a new transaction log file (it is a good thing that our currently t-log file has a growth limit else it could have occupied all the disk space.)

  • I started CDC and it ran​​ successfully.

 

But the t-log was still not truncating. I checked the log_reuse_wait_desc again and it indicated “AVAILABILITY REPLICA” which means that the database mirroring partnership has some latency in it and there are log records on the mirroring principal that haven’t yet been sent to the mirroring mirror (called the send queue). This can happen if​​ the mirror is configured for asynchronous operation, where transactions can commit on the principal before their log records have been sent to the mirror.​​ It can also happen in synchronous mode, if the mirror becomes disconnected or the mirroring session is suspended. The amount of log in the send queue can be equated to the expected amount of data (or work) loss in the event of a crash of the principal.

 

I​​ waited for few minutes and I checked the log_reuse_wait_desc and now I see “NOTHING” which means that SQL Server thinks there is no problem with log truncation.

SQL Server – AlwaysON Availability Group Replica is Not Synchronizing (Error: 976, Severity: 14, State: 1.)

You can lose communication between the primary and secondary replicas for some reason.​​ 

 

There is a policy on SQL Server to check the data synchronization state of the database replica. The policy is in an unhealthy state when the data synchronization state is NOT SYNCHRONIZING or the state is not SYNCHRONIZED for the synchronous-commit database replica.

 

Based on SQL Server logs, I observed the following messages:

 

The target database, ‘YourDatabase’, is participating in an availability group and is currently not accessible for queries. Either data movement is suspended or the availability replica is not enabled for read access. To allow read-only access to this and other databases in the availability group, enable read access to one or more secondary availability replicas in the group. ​​ For more information, see the ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP statement in SQL Server Books Online. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 976)

 

According to Technet, this issue can be caused by the following:

  • The availability replica might be disconnected.

  • The data movement might be suspended.

  • The database might not be accessible.

  • There might be a temporary delay issue due to network latency or the load on the primary or secondary replica.

Further information: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh245199.aspx

 

 

Resolution:
You can fix it, using the following T-SQL command to force the resume synchronization:

 

ALTER​​ DATABASE​​ YourDatabase​​ SET​​ HADR​​ RESUME;

 

Or

 

Using SQL Server Management Studio

  • In Object Explorer, connect to the server instance that hosts the availability replica on which you want to resume a database, and expand the server tree.

  • Expand the AlwaysOn High Availability node and the Availability Groups node.

  • Expand the availability group.

  • Expand the Availability Databases node, right-click the database, and click Resume Data Movement.

  • In the Resume Data Movement dialog box, click OK.
