I have an error message stating (during an SQL 2012 repair) that says
Rule "Not clustered or the cluster service is up and online." failed The machine is clustered, but the cluster is not online or cannot be accessed from one of its nodes. To continue determine why the cluster is not online and rerun setup instead of rerunning the rule since the rule can no longer detect a cluster environment correctly. |
I am asking whether it is ADSI because I had to update the SBS 2011 server box and the migration of a couple of the accounts failed during the update and these accounts are linked to the accounts that have permission in SQL Server. Even the Administrator on the local box seems to be unable to open SQL (probably during one of my panic attacks I removed the security account from the Administrator as well)
What seems curious to me is that it shows up as a clustering problem when I suspect it has more to do with a SID problem on the ADSI, but since they are similar, is there a way to fix this using strictly SQL 2012 installation procedures or must I go back and uninstall SQL 2012 and reinstall given that at this point, I cannot access the databases (except the system databases) from SQL itself. The SQL Server security no longer recognizes the current domain - at least it seems that way - I cannot add my new account which is associated with a different SID, same account name.
Not sure it makes sense to most out there but if someone has experience with both the ADSI and the clustering and the SQL install/repair issue, maybe you have some advice for me. I'll probably wind up removing one of the servers altogether and rebuilding it before tomorrow so I have something online for Monday (June 17, fathers day today) but I have other servers with the same problem so I should have some debugging information available after the fact.
Also, I stuck this in the migration section thinking it was more a migration issue though that's not it exactly.
