I have installed mssql-server and mssql-server-ha on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS. I'm using drbd on two nodes, with pacemaker and corosync attempting to control the automatic failover between the two nodes. crm status shows 2 errors:

Failed Actions:
* res_mssql_monitor_5000 on hostname2 'invalid parameter' (2): call=57, status=complete, exitreason='2017/11/09 12:33:01 Expected local server name to be res_mssql but it was hostname1',
last-rc-change='Thu Nov  9 12:33:01 2017', queued=0ms, exec=5241ms
* res_mssql_start_0 on hostname2 'unknown error' (1): call=6086, status=complete, exitreason='SQL Server crashed during startup.',
last-rc-change='Thu Nov  9 12:32:39 2017', queued=0ms, exec=24329ms

(actual host names replaced with "hostname1 and hostname2")

TL;DR If someone has successfully configured a two-node pacemaker/corosync/drbd SQL Server 2017 on Linux setup with a floating IP, I'm interested to find out what I'm doing wrong. If you require additional config or log files please let me know.


I don't know where it's finding the actual hostname1 vs rs_mssql as the expected hostname. The above error is on hostname2, so I think it might have been when I copied a config file over from hostname1 to hostname2 during initial setup.

My crm configuration:

(Note: I haven't attacked the IPaddr2 problem yet; I have ens160 and ens192 for my regular IP addresses, and I want to later configure an IP alias as ip_mssql for the public IP access to the SQL server)

I can manually start mssql-server just fine:

sudo systemctl start mssql-server
sudo systemctl status mssql-server

These are the only actual errors I found in /var/opt/mssql/log/errorlog:

Manual drbd failover works by umount /dev/drbd0 /dev/drbd1 /dev/drbd2 and drbdadm secondary mssql, then reversing that process on the new primary (drbdadm primary mssql and mount...).

My /etc/drbd.d/mssql.res conf (/etc/drbd.d/global_common.conf is unaltered from repositories):

resource mssql {
   handlers {
            split-brain "/usr/lib/drbd/notify-split-brain.sh root";
   }
   net {
            after-sb-0pri discard-least-changes;
            after-sb-1pri discard-secondary;
            after-sb-2pri disconnect;
   }

Try using systemd to start the service instead: crm configure edit res_mssql

Edit the config so it reads like this:

primitive res_mssql systemd:mssql-server \
   op monitor interval=30s timeout=30s \
   op start interval=0 timeout=60s \
   op stop interval=0 timeout=60s

That should accomplish the same thing. However, I would imagine the resource-agent could take a few additional parameters, which might be all that's needed to get it working the way you had tried.

I would suggest checking the RA info to see if you can figure out what parameters you're missing: crm ra info ocf:mssql:fci

  • Oh, I also adjusted the monitor interval because `5s` seems too tight – Matt Kereczman Nov 15 '17 at 15:56
  • Thanks for the `crm ra` information. At the end of the file it states: ` Operations' defaults (advisory minimum): start timeout=1000 stop timeout=20 monitor. timeout=30 interval=10` So I changed those. I dove deeper into `/var/log/syslog | grep sql` and found: `Nov 15 14:21:40 hostname2 sqlservr[25694]: The SQL Server End-User License Agreement (EULA) must be accepted before SQL Server can start. ... Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE` So I think I have found my problem. Will post back here if not. Thanks again! – Ben M Nov 15 '17 at 21:13
