My only problem is that because our domain is setup as mixed mode the SSRS instance has to be on the same machine as the database otherwise the users who access the reports get login errors as the dreaded double hop doesn't work just yet.
If you want to customize the schedule for your installation, click Schedule and then adjust the SQL Server Agent schedule as needed. This schedule should approximate the backup schedule. On the Restore tab, under Database state when restoring backups , choose the No recovery mode or Standby mode option. Standby mode is only an option when the version of the primary and secondary server are the same. When the major version of the secondary server is higher than the primary, only No recovery mode is allowed.
If you chose the Standby mode option, choose if you want to disconnect users from the secondary database while the restore operation is underway. If you want to delay the restore process on the secondary server, choose a delay time under Delay restoring backups at least.
Note the restore schedule listed in the Schedule box under Restore job. Under Monitor server instance , select the Use a monitor server instance check box, and then click Settings.
To monitor this log shipping configuration, you must add the monitor server now. To add the monitor server later, you would need to remove this log shipping configuration and then replace it with a new configuration that includes a monitor server. Under Monitor connections , choose the connection method to be used by the backup, copy, and restore jobs to connect to the monitor server. Under History retention , choose the length of time you want to retain a record of your log shipping history.
On the Database Properties dialog box, click OK to begin the configuration process. Initialize the secondary database by restoring a full backup of the primary database on the secondary server. The stored procedure returns the backup job ID and primary ID.
This stored procedure returns the secondary ID and the copy and restore job IDs. On the secondary server, enable the copy and restore jobs. For more information, see Disable or Enable a Job. Skip to main content. Once you connect to the secondary server you can access the three tabs as shown below. In this step you can specify how to create the data on the secondary server. You have three options: create a backup and restore it, use an existing backup and restore or do nothing because you have manually restored the database and have put it into the correct state to receive additional backups.
This step will create the Copy job on the secondary server. Here you have to specify the database restoring state information and restore schedule. This will create the restore job on the secondary server. In this step we will configure Log Shipping Monitoring which will notify us in case of any failure. Please note Log Shipping monitoring configuration is optional. Click on Settings Click on Connect Monitoring can be done from the source server, target server or a separate SQL Server instance.
Lastly we can also configure how long job history records are retained in the MSDB database. Please note that you cannot add a monitor instance once log shipping is configured. Click on the OK button to finish the Log Shipping configuration and it will show you the below screen. Log Shipping - If I shrink the data files on the primary server will it get reflected on the secondary instances as well? SQL Std ,log shipping were stop when connectivity were down between DC and DR , can it restarted automatic log shipping when connectivity link up?
However, wanted to know regarding the permissions which need to be given to the shared folder for copying the backup. Also, the permissions which need to be given to this folder is the service account of sql server agent on secondary instance? We have successfully created the log shipping in our premises. But while taking offline backup as per our security requirement,log shipping was stop functioning.
So for recreating log shipping I took fresh backup of Primary server ,and while restoring on DR server I suddenly notice that after log shipping the File Location of the DR server is same as primory server. We have 2 node SQL cluster, i. I have below setup:. I want that my replication will work only through replication IP and can I connect my database through Replication IP.
I need to have the secondary database located far away, so it takes more than 10 hours to mobe the first backup copy over the internet. My question: when do i create the Log Shipping on the primary server, Is it before i start the full backup or after i move it to the far away destination and finish the restore of it? Dear sir,i am configure logshipping in primary and secondary servers are same mechine for practice purpose. Microsoft SQL Server. Error ".
Do I need to transfer a full backup to the secondary server everytime a full backup has been created on the primary server? I think I do otherwise it will get out of synch. Or am I mistaken? Operating system error 53 The network path was not found. I currently have a job restoring from the primary to the secondary in full recovery mode. The job reports success. I'm just having problems restoring my logs because they are out of sequence.
I tried to set up basically a rigged up version of log shipping before I started researching it. I think I need to scratch what I have and do log shipping. Will there be any problems when changing my production server to "Enable this as the primary server in a log shipping situation"? Any restarts or down time required?
Configure Log Shipping for a database which has at least 5 tables. Demonstrate features of Log shipping - With 0 delay log restoring - With 2 hrs delay of log restoring.
I set up log shipping on a SQL R2 standard installation with 2 instanaces. It seems to be running fine with no errors, but I don't understand what the message: Deleting old log backup files. Primary Database means. This message is in the history of the transaction log restore to the secondary server. I have the primary transaction logs backed up to a shared folder and the SQL Agent account has modify permissons, but I don't see any files being deleted.
What old backup files are being deleted? Thankyou so much for clear explation. Verything looks good and perfect. Can you please add the screen shots of the primary server and the secondary server DB's how does they look like after the log shipping is been configured. I have tried Monitor server instance but it is not showing for same log shipping job it show for other job details.
Hi Jagul, Thanks for such a nice article. I have a small doubt here, hope you can suggest me a solution. I have the same set up in my environment for version.
My question is, Is there any way to trace out or find which option is selected in the Initialize Secondary Database step in the available 3 options Generate full backup of primary, restore an existing backup and secondary database is initialized? Hope I am clear with my question. I have this requirement. I have two office in two geographical locations. I want to run the same database in both offices, but they needed to be synced to see.
Basically the idea is if there is a new record on Location A, I need to have that same record replicated to the location B also. And visa versa. What is the best way I can do for this. I work in a unique scenario. We have a production SQL Server on one network within it's own active directory forrest. A few blocks away, we have a back up facility on it's own network with it's own active directory forrest.
Also, what network ports would need to be opened on the inbound firewall to allow for log shipping. The network are separated by 2 firewalls, and are on separate VLAN's. What is Tuf?
