Microsoft sql server recovery pending

Because of this error message, you may be compelled to fail over the database. After the database is failed over, the replica that owns the recovery pending database is in the secondary role. In this situation, you try to execute the following SQL script again in order to remove the database from the availability group at the secondary replica:. However, you still can not remove the database from the availability group, and you receive the following error message because the database is still in Recovery Pending state:.

Wait and try again. To do this, follow these steps. These steps assume that the primary replica first hosts the damaged database. Therefore, a failover must first occur to transition the replica that is hosting the damaged database into a secondary role. Run the following SQL script to remove the replica that is hosting the damaged database from the availability group:.

Resolve any issues on the server that is running SQL Server and that might contribute to the database failure. If the primary replica hosts the damaged database and is the only working replica in the availability group, the availability group must be dropped. After the availability group is dropped, your database can be recovered from a backup, or other emergency recovery efforts can be applied to restore the databases and to resume production.

At this point, you can try to recover the problematic database. Or you can restore the database from the last-known good backup copy. When you drop an availability group, the listener resource is also dropped and interrupts application connectivity to the availability databases.

To minimize application downtime, use one of the following methods to sustain application connectivity through the listener and drop the availability group:.

On the instance of SQL Server to which the existing availability group listener is directing connections, create a new, empty availability group. I have a sql server database that uses filestream. I have configurated in configuration manager to enable filestream and in sql server management studio, in server propierties, I have filestream full access.

But when I try to restore a database that uses filestream, I get an error that says that filestream is not eanbled, but this is not true. Is the error I have a virtual machine with windows 10, with an earlier version before creators update, and I have configurated in the same way, and all works correctly, I can restore the database with no problems.

Also I have noticed this problem after updating windows to creators updates, so I am sure that the problem is that windows 10 creators update has problems with filestream. I am having same issue after update to Win 10 Creators update. I had a working DB with file stream running for weeks. After the update the "Configured values" in server properties says the filestream is enable but if I look in "Running values" they are off. Now I reinstalled my MSSQL express and figured it was during the update it all went bad, now after the re-install I can restore just fine but after a reboot the filestream settings in the "running values" properties window are again set to off.

Also checked server properties from configuration tool, also shows activated. In my case it is a local database for testing, so I can install it in a virtual machine and use this installation, but really it is not a good solution, I would like to can use an installation in my main operative system.

We have reached to our windows team internally for the breaking change in SQL filestream caused with creators update. We have investigated the issue and identified the code change which caused this breaking change. Windows team is working on the fix and plan to release it soon. Until that time, the workaround is to use system account or provide admin permissions to the service account.

We will update our SQL Server tiger blog once we have a fix. Sign in. If there's some kind of problem, SQL Server will let you know at that moment.

The database is not damaged, but files may be missing or system resource limitations may be preventing it from starting. The database is unavailable. Additional action by the user is required to resolve the error and let the recovery process be completed.

As i have moved all databases across, i will try your method in a testing environment. Other question was: I moved all the databases to new instance just attached them , while they were still in recovery pending stage. Why i was able to do that? After restoring, i made them offline on old instance Why? I am sure we cant attach same database files on two different instances, we will get below error. If you are using SQL and availability Group, make sure that cluster services is running and then check the status of your availability Group.

Regards Henrik A. Halmstrand sharepointrevealed. If you dont need your log file, you can:. Simple,, Take the database ofline.. In my case its working fine. I had a database that was located on a USB drive and therefore was in pending state when I started the PC without the drive. After connecting the drive I managed to start it by:. I waited for 2 hours searched for all the possiblities and then tried your solution and it worked fine.

I just come across the same problem, I have tried with reboot all Windows nodes which are participating in Windows cluster but No use. After that I started Windows Cluster, checked quorum settings, any errors. It was a clean cluster UP. Sign in. United States English. Ask a question. What I did wrong in order to have this error?
