1. VMware Workstation 10.0.3 issues

These were done using VMware Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310

Hint (from Mark Broadbent) - install a golden image vm and clone the others from that in case anything breaks.

1.1 Easy Installing running

If VMWare complains easty install is still running then edit machine settings, set the floppy drive to physical and disconnect it

1.2 Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms

If windows complains "Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."

1. Ensure 2GB of memory is available

2. For evaluation copies of windows which do not require a license key e.g. from technet evaluation centre

1.3 Copy and pasting from the host

Install VMWare Tools to be able to copy/paste from the host

1.4 Sharing folders with the host

Use VM Settings -> Options -> Shared folders

1.5 Installing VMWare Tools

For Centos:

1.6 CentOS 7.3 and VMWare Tools

VMWare Tools upgrade fails with a compilation error!

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder 
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work 
independently of this feature.

If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by 
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine. 
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

Please enter and complete upgrade steps

Then on the menu bar at the top go to Applications -> Firefox Web Browser

Go to my vmware

Login to my vmware and this will bring you to the Download Product screen

Download the .tar.gz file "VMware Tools packages for Windows and Linux"

Choose Save File and this will go to /root/Downloads folder

Then run

This will allow copy/paste and shared folders with the host to work with

Note, you will still get the prompt that VMware Tools needs upgrading!

2 OS installation issues

2.1 Windows 8.1 upgrade fails with 0x80073B92 - 0x20009

If a Windows 8.1 upgrade fails with "0x80073B92 - 0x20009" unplug any extra drives including 2nd SSD's and retry!

2.2 Centos 6.5 Static IP and Hostname Setup

For static IP on Centos 6.5 - delete all network connections

Big test - if you have done this on another vm as well (centos4.localdomain)

Unplug the internet connection and try to ping the other vm

As we are NAT'ed and not using bridged onto the main network then ping should still work!

    2.13 Windows 10 stuck in safe mode

    If a you a PIN to log into Windows then the locally cached copy of your password mnaybe out of date

    When booting into safe mode the login screen will ONLY accept the password NOT a pin!

    How to fix this when you cannot login anymore

    All recovery screen options even command prompt require a login as an account with admin privileges!

    There is no option to boot back into normal mode!!

    First we create a usb stick with a Win PE environment

    Download the Windows 10 ADK from Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)

    Install this on a different PC and then create a bootable usb stick with a WinPE environment

    As per WinPE: Create USB Bootable drive

     diskpart
       list disk
       select 
       clean
       rem === Create the Windows PE partition. ===
       create partition primary size=2000
       format quick fs=fat32 label="Windows PE"
       assign letter=P
       active
       rem === Create a data partition. ===
       create partition primary
       format fs=ntfs quick label="Other files"
       assign letter=O
       list vol
       exit
    
    Start the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment as an administrator
    
    copype amd64 C:\WinPE_amd64
    
    MakeWinPEMedia /UFD C:\WinPE_amd64 P: # /UFD specifies that the media is a USB Flash Drive!
    

    Boot the affected PC from the USB Flash Drive

    Then based on Reset Lost Windows 10 Password with Sticky Keys Method

    diskpart 
      list disk -- Based on size identify which disk contains the original C: drive
      list vols -- Work out which drive letter is the original C: drive (or just run dir D:\ dir E:\ dir F:\ etc!)
      exit
    cd :\windows\system32
    dir sethc2.exe -- check does not exist otherwise use another name in the next command
    move sethc.exe sethc2.exe
    copy cmd.exe sethc.exe
    

    Now reboot

    When you get to the login prompt press the shift key until a command prompt window appears

    We check who we are login as via "set" and it reports a username of "SYSTEM"!

    This can be used to enable local accounts and reset their password

    This cannot be used to reset the password for windows live type account as it does not have permission!

    Then enable the administrator account

    net user -- lists Administrator
    net user administrator /active:yes
    net user administrator blob1234 -- reset password
    

    We can then disable safe mode as per How to Turn Off Safe Mode without Logging into Windows

    bcdedit -- list current config
    bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot -- curly brackets
    
    If this fails you may need to specify where the bcd store is located
    
    bcdedit /store :\Boot\BCD /deletevalue {default} safeboot 
    bcdedit /store :\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /deletevalue {default} safeboot -- For EFI systems

    3 Windows

    3.1 SQL Server on Windows

    3.1.1 .Net Framework 3.5x

    Microsoft SQL Server 2008,2012,2014 all need .Net Framework 3.5. Go into Server Manager, Install Features or Install Roles/Feaures and add .Net Framwork 3.5 as a feature

    For Windows 10 Client Preview go to start-> Search -> Turn windows features on and off. Add .net 3.5 from the top of the list.

    If Polybase is being installed then the Server Collation must be either Latin1_General_100_AS_KS_WS or SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

    This can be selected on the Server Configuration Screen

    As per

    Clarification on SQL Server Collation Requirements for System Center 2012

    there was a similar issue on System Centre 2012 until it was updated to support more collations

    As per the above "The SQL Server collations are no longer being updated and will eventually be phased out in favor of the Windows collations."!!

    Since we have a choice of 2 collations (Latin1_General_100_AS_KS_WS or SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS) which one to choose?

    As per

    Supportability regarding SQL collation for SharePoint Databases and TempDB

    Sharepoint (even 2013) wants Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS so this was chosen

    on the Server Configuration Screen choose the Collation tab

    Change BOTH collation settings to

    This allows the installation checks to pass!

    In Failover Cluster Manager stop all roles,right click on the cluster name and validate the cluster

    I received the following warnings

    • Cluster Configuration->List Cluster Volumes->Physical Disk resource Cluster Disk 6 has a value for the property named DiskrunChkDsk that is not the default value. The current value is 6, which indicates that the volumes on the physical disk resource will not be mounted and the disk will be in an offline read/write state. Some programs or storage utilities may be able to do I/O with the disk using raw block level I/O.
    • Cluster Configuration->Validate Resource State-> Analysis Services was offline, expected as the role was stopped!
    • Cluster Configuration->Validate Resource State->Cluster Disk 2 was offline->Checking it was online
    • Cluster Configuration->Validate Resource State->Cluster Disk 4/5/6/7 This resource has a dependency configured that makes it is dependent on another resource. This resource type is usually not dependent on other resources.
    • Cluster Configuration->Validate Resource State Sql Server,SQL Agent, Cluster IPs were offline, possibly expected as the role was stopped!
    • Cluster Configuration->Validate Resource State, Validating cluster resource SR 6e248e8b-7c1b-4361-83d0-ef85937707d5. This resource does not have all the nodes of the cluster listed as Possible Owners. The clustered role that this resource is a member of will not be able to start on any node that is not listed as a Possible Owner. This is cluster disks 6/7, "SR Group 1",the destination disks.
    • Network->Validate Multiple Subnet Properties->The RegisterAllProvidersIP property for network name 'Name: SQL2016CX2' is set to 1. For the current cluster configuration this value should be set to 0. See below
    • Network->Validate Multiple Subnet Properties->The RegisterAllProvidersIP property for network name 'Name: SQL2016CX1' is set to 1. For the current cluster configuration this value should be set to 0. See below

    NOTE: As per as per Create or Configure an Availability Group Listener (SQL Server) "When RegisterAllProvidersIP = 1, any clients whose connection strings do not use MultiSubnetFailover = True, will experience high latency connections. This occurs because these clients attempt connections to all IPs sequentially. In contrast, if RegisterAllProvidersIP is changed to 0, the active IP address is registered in the Client Access Point in the WSFC cluster, reducing latency for legacy clients. Therefore, if you have legacy clients that that need to connect to an availability group listener and cannot use the MultiSubnetFailover property, we recommend that you change RegisterAllProvidersIP to 0." So it is only needed for legacy client.

    3.1.15.H Install SQL Server on Clustered Shared Volume, add the Second Node

    Use IP address (192.168.117).245 and (10.0.0.).244

    Server name SQL2016X3

    Login CORP\justdave

    On the CLuster Resource Group screen use SRGroup1

    On the Cluster Disk Screen add the Data Disk for the Source (the data disk for the target is not an option)

    Data Directories/Tempdb will default to be on the Cluster Shared Volume C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1!

    As per normal the dependency report for the SQL Server will only include the Network Name and IP addresses

    We now go into Services, stop all SQL Server services on both machines and set them to manual

    We stop both VMs WIN-SR1 and WIN-SR2 and back them up

    We next use Process Explorer - Find on both machines to check nothing is using the F: and G: drives

    Now we enable Storage Replication from machine Win-SR1 to Win-SR2!

    We have manual failover using a floating IP and Storage Replica!

    3.1.17 Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 4 Cluster Build and SQL Server CTP 3.2 - Availablity Group

    We do NOT need shared storage

    We use the iSCSI Targets 3 and 4 from 3.1.15 above, these are already permissioned so they can only be access via machine WIN-C1 and WIN-C2 respectively

    We add 2 4GB Disks iSCSIag1-c1 (target3) and iSCSIag1 (target 4) and make these the H: drive on both machines

    We add 2 standalone SQL Servers SQL2016AG1 (WIN-C1) and SQL12016AG2 (WIN-C2) with databases on the H: drive

    Go into SQL Server Configuration Manager->SQL Server Services

    Right click on SQL Server (SQL2016AG1)->Properties->High Availability tab->Enable AlwaysOn Availability Groups

    Also go into SQL Server Network Configuration->Protocols for SQL2016AG1->TCP/IP->Properties

    IP Addresses tab->Edit IPAll at the bottom

    Remove the 0 next to TCP Dynamic Ports

    Change TCP Port to 1444

    Goto into Control Panel->System and Security->Administrrative Tools->Services and restart both SQL Server services

    In a command prompt Admin run

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server 2016AG1" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=1444
    

    Repeat for the other SQL Server SQL2016AG2

    Go into SSMS and connect to SQL2016AG1 and SQL2016AG2

    Create a database on server SQL2016AG1 - justdave1 which will default to Full Recovery Model

    Take a full backup and log backup of the database justdave1

    In SSMS Right Click on the Database->Tasks->Backup, leave Backup Type as Full and Click OK

    In SSMS Right Click on the Database->Tasks->Backup, change Backup Type to "Transaction Log" and Click OK

    In the left pane go to "Always on High Availability"->Availability Groups->Right Click->New Availability Group Wizard

    Set the name DemoAG1, leave the other options unticked

    Select database justdave1, it meets the pre-requesites

    Add SQL2016AG2, enable Synchronous Commit on both the Primary and Seconday Replicas and change Readable Secondary to Yes

    Note on the backup tab the default is to prefer the secondary

    Note that for Windows authentication to be used on the communication endpoints the SQL Server must be running under a domain account

    On machine Win-SSMS add a folder C:\Backups and share the folder with Advanced Sharing

    Given the domain account used for the SQL Server service write access to the folder

    Start another copy of SSMS and backup database justdave1 to the folder using

    BACKUP DATABASE justdave1 TO DISK = '\\WIN-SSMS\Backups\justdave1.bak'
    

    Delete the backup file justdave1.bak

    Open firewall port 5022 on both machines WIN-C1 and WIN-C2 for AG

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL AG" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=5022
    

    On the "Select Data Syncronization" screen use this folder \\WIN-SSMS\Backups

    Next the Validation screen appears, we will configure the listener later.

    On the Summary screen click Finish

    The progress is then displayed

    Add a Availability Group Listener

    First add a firewall rule on both machines WIN-C1 and WIN-C2

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server 2016AG1 Listener" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=1445
    

    Add the listener with port 1445, static ip 192.168.117.230

    We now have a database on the replica which is syncronized and read-only

    We can connect using the listener and port demoagl1,1445

    Next we perform a planned failover of the Availablity Group

    NOTE: We do not specify the target for failover, the target is always assumed to be the sql server from where we issue the command!

    Connect to SQL12016AG2 (planned target for failover)
    ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP DemoAG1 FAILOVER;
    

    If we reconnect using the listener and select @@SERVERNAME we get to server SQL2016AG2

    Similarly to failback

    Connect to SQL12016AG2 (planned target for failover)
    ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP DemoAG1 FAILOVER; -- Same command!
    

    We can also right click on the Availability Group in SSMS and Choose "Show Dashboard"

    We can enable automatic failover

    3.1.18 Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 4 Cluster Build and SQL Server CTP 3.2 - Basic Availablity Group

    We do NOT need shared storage OR a domain!

    We create 4 VMs

    • WIN-BAGS1 - iSCSI Storage/DNS,Static IPv4 192.168.93.200
    • WIN-BAG1 - Cluster Node 1,Static IPv4 192.168.93.201
    • WIN-BAG2 - Cluster Node 2,Static IPv4 192.168.93.202
    • WIN3-SSMS - SSMS machine, Windows 10,Static IPv4 192.168.93.203

    3.1.18.A Machine Setup

    We give all machines their static IPv4 addresses,disable IPv6,keep the same DNS 192.168.93.2 and default gateway 192.168.93.2

    On boths machines WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2, update the computer names and add a Primary DNS suffix

    On boths machines WIN-BAGS1/WIN3-SSMS, update the computer names

    We add a iSCSI 4GB disk (iSCSIbag1-c1) on target targetb1 permissions to IP address 192.168.93.201

    We add a iSCSI 4GB disk (iSCSIbag1-c2) on target targetb2 permissions to IP address 192.168.93.202

    On both machines WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2 using iSCSI Initiator to see the disks

    On both machines WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2, initialize the 4GB disks as GPT disks and add a new simple volume as drive E:

    Server Manger->click on computer name->Change->More, add Primary DNS suffix justdave2.contso.com

    On both machines WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2 add local user justdave with a password

    On both machines WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2 add a firewall rule for port 5022

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL AG" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=5022
    

    3.1.18.B SQL Server installation

    Install a standlone SQL Server on both machines called SQL2016BAG1 with data on the E: drive

    3.1.18.C Install Failover Clustering and Setup DNS

    Add Windows Feature failover clustering to both machines WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2

    Add Windows role DNS server to machine WIN-BAGS1

    Check for Windows updates on all machines and reboot

    Update all machines to use 192.168.93.200 as the DNS server

    On machine WIN-BAGS1 go to Server Manager->Tools->DNS

    Under WIN-BAGS1.justdave2.contso.com add a Reverse Lookup Zone

    Add as a primary zone,IPV4 Reverse Lookup Zone,Network ID 192.168.93, add a new zone file

    Do not allow dynamic updates

    Under WIN-BAGS1.justdave2.contso.com add a Forward Lookup Zone justdave2.contso.com

    Add machines both machines WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2 to the forward Lookup Zone and tick the checkbox to create the associated PTR record

    On machines WIN-BAGS1/WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2 go into Control Panel->System and Security->Windows Firewall

    Under Advanced Settings->inbounding rules enable rule "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)"

    On machines WIN-BAGS1/WIN-BAG1/WIN-BAG2 ping all the other machine using FQDN names

    Eg. ping WIN-BAGS1.justdave2.contso.com

    3.1.18.D Test and create Active Directory-Detached Cluster

    Now we deploy a Active Directory-Detached Cluster

    As per Deploy an Active Directory-Detached Cluster

    We have to use Powershell to create the cluster

    Right click on Availability Groups->New Availability Group Wizard

    Add DemoAG2 as a Basic Availability Group

    Choose database justdave

    Add replica WIN-BAG2\SQL2016BAG1

    Set both instances to syncronous commit

    NOTE: With a Basic Availability Group we cannot have a readonly secondary or redirect backups to the Secondary

    On the "Select Data Syncronization" screen choose Join, we have already syncronized the databases

    On the "Validation" screen click Next

    On the summary screen click Finish

    The progress is then displayed

    NOTE: Basic availability groups do not support listeners!

    3.1.18.J Check and failover/failback the Basic Availability group

    3.1.19 SQL Server 2016 RC3/RTM

    No requirement for .NET Framework 3.5., just the firewall rules need to be done!

    The firewall rules still need to be done and Java installed

    Notice that Visual Studio 2015 redistributable components will be installed compared with Visual Studio 2013 components in earlier SQL Server releases

    3.1.20 SQL Server 2017 CTP1

    Note the new firewall rule for the SSIS Scale Out Master above

    Accept the defaults on the Scale Out Master/Worker screens

    I am naming my servers SQL2017X1!

    3.1.21 SQL Server 2017 SSIS Scale Out Master

    We are doing a setup with 1 Master and 2 worker machines

    It is possible to have a worker on the master machine

    I choose to have no workers on the master machine to show the remote execution with no tricks!

    Setup machines

    We are using 3 VMs, 1 Master and 2 Workers

    Sysprep the Worker machines with c:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize enable Generalize option

    The machines are:

    • Win2016-SQL2017CTP2.0-SOM (WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA 192.168.96.137) = Scale Out Master
    • Win2016-SQL2017CTP2.0-SOW1 (WIN-M9MH8PK775B 192.168.96.158) = Scale Out Worker 1
    • Win2016-SQL2017CTP2.0-SOW2 (WIN-DMA0LTBM1KS 192.168.96.158) = Scale Out Worker 1

    Scale Out Master machine setup

    Install SQL Server on the Scale Out Master machine - everything but a Scale Out Worker

    On the Scale Out Master

    • Install Java JDK
    • Install SQL Server 2017 CTP 2.0
    • - Feature Select screen - all features, remove Integration Services->Scale Out Worker
    • - Instance Configuration screen - servername SQL2017SOM
    • - Server Configuration screen - collation Latin1_General_100 Accent/Width/Kana-sensitive
    • - Database Engine Configuration - Mixed mode installation with current user and set sa password (SSISDB Catalog needs sa authentication)
    • - Integration Services Scale Out Master screen - Leave as create certificate.

    The Certificate for the Scale Out Master will be put in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn\SSISScaleOutMaster.cer

    Copy Scale Out Master certificate to Scale Out Worker machines

    Copy the certificate from the Scale Out Master to a temporary folder on each Scale Out Worker machine.

    Install SQL Server on the Scale Out Worker machines - just a Scale Out Worker!

    On each worker machine install SQL Server

    • On the Feature Selection screen - Unselect all features, Select Integration Services -> Scale Out Worker only
    • On the Integration Services Scale Out Worker Configuration screen Add an endpoint
    • Enter the machine/port for the Scale Out Master server e.g. https://WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA:8391
    • Browse and choose the certificate copied from the Scale Out Master machine, THIS AUTO-INSTALLS THE MASTER CERTIFICATE ON THE WORKER MACHINES

    Check certificates on the Scale Out Worker machines

    On each worker machine run powershell:

    dir Cert:\LocalMachine\Root

    There will be a 2 certificates

    • 1 certificate with the ipaddress of the master machine
    • 1 with the ipaddress of this worker machines

    On each worker machine the worker certificates go into C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn as file SSISScaleOutWorker.cer

    Copy Scale Out Worker certificates to Scale Out Master machine

    Copy each Scale Out Worker certificate to to a temporary folder on the Scale Out Master machine.

    As we copy we rename the certificate files to SSISScaleOutWorker1.cer and SSISScaleOutWorker2.cer

    Use SSMS to create the SSIS Catalog on the Scale Out Master machine

    Connect with SSIS 17.0 to the Scale Out Master machine

    • Right Click on "Integration Services Options" choose create catalog
    • On the "Create Catalog" screen select "Enable CLR integration"
    • "Enable this server as SSIS scale out master" will be already selected
    • Enter a password and click OK

    Import Copy Scale Out Worker certificates into Scale Out Master machine

    On the Scale Out Master machine

    • Start->Run->certlm.msc
    • In the left pane Click on "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
    • In the right panel Click on "Certificates"
    • On the menu select Actions->All tasks -> Import
    • This will load into the local machine, click Next
    • Browse to the Certificate file SSISScaleOutWorker1.cer/li>
    • On the Certificate Store screen "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" is already selected, click Next, then Click Finish
    • Simmilarly import Certificate file SSISScaleOutWorker2.cer

    Check the Certificates on the Scale Out Master machine

    On the Scale Out Master Machine run Powershell:

    dir Cert:\LocalMachine\Root

    There will be a 3 certificates

    • 1 certificate with the ipaddress of the master machine
    • 2 with the ipaddress of the 2 worker machines

    Check the Scale Out services are running on the Master and Worker machines

    On each machine run services.msc then Check all services are started:

    • SSISScaleOutMaster140 ("SQL Server Integration Services Scale Out Master 14.0") on the master machine
    • SSISScaleOutWorker140 ("SQL Server Integration Services Scale Out Worker 14.0") on the Worker machines

    Check the logfiles from the Scale Out services

    On the master machine check the Scale Out Master service log under C:\Users\SSISScaleOutMaster140\AppData\Local\SSIS\ScaleOut\Master

    On the worker machine check the Scale Out Worker Service log under :\Users\SSISScaleOutWorker140\AppData\Local\SSIS\ScaleOut\Agent

    Use SSMS to register the worker agents on the Scale Out Master SQL Server

    Connect to the master machine with SSMS and run:

    • SELECT * FROM [SSISDB].[catalog].[worker_agents]

    It can take a few minutes for the workers to be registered.

  • We can see when the workers were last online by checking the LastOnlineTime column in [SSISDB].[catalog].[worker_agents]
  • Once this completes use the workers WorkerIdAgentId to register these on the master e.g.:

    • EXEC [SSISDB].[catalog].[enable_worker_agent] '6BCFB582-F61A-473A-A627-E01BB05D2E37'
    • EXEC [SSISDB].[catalog].[enable_worker_agent] 'DE0D3C1B-E3D8-44BF-8B6E-E5E1CB8E0D12'

    Use SSDT to create a project with a simple Script Task including creating the script

    We now create a SSDT Project to deploy a package we can run in parallel on the worker machines

    On the Scale Out Master server add a Windows user for deployment with sysadmin privileges WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\justdave

    Also add a user mapping to the SSISDB database and add them as ssisadmin

    Next Install Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and repeatedly run Tools->Extensions and Updates until all updates are installed

    From Download SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) download SSDT for Visual Studio 2015 and install this as well.

    Start SSDT as a Windows user who has sa on the Scale Out Master

    runas /netonly /user:WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\justdave "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"

    Create a new Visual Studio 2015 Project - Integration Services Project Business Intelligence

    Call the project SSIS_Master_1

    From the SSIS Toolbox on the left add a "Execute Process" Task

    From the properties box in the bottom right Change the name and description to "RunSimpleTask"

    Then create a batch file C:\x\myscript.batwhich writes the hostname and time to a file in folder C:\x

    @echo off
    set myfile=C:\x\%COMPUTERNAME%.txt
    for /F %%i in ('date /t') do set mydate=%%i
    for /F %%i in ('time /t') do set mytime=%%i
    echo %mydate%_%mytime% > %myfile%
    

    Change the Executable on the task to C:\x\myscript.bat

    On the menu click Start and the output file should be produced

    Click the symbol to stop debugging

    Use SSDT to deploy the project to the Scale Out Master SQL Server using the Project Deployment model

    Choose Project->Deploy

    Click Next

    Browse for the destination server name

    In network servers select the Scale Out Master SQL Server (WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\SQL2017X1)

    Browse for the path for folder for deployement

    Add a new folder SSIS_Master_1 and click OK

    On the Review screen click Deploy

    On the Results screen click Close

    Setup script execution on the SSIS Worker machines

    Copy script C:\x\myscript.bat from the SSDT machine to each worker machine

    Grant everyone full permission on the C:\x so the SSIS Workers can write to it - DEMO PURPOSES ONLY SHOULD REALLY SETUP PROPER PERMISSIONS

    Use SSMS to run the SSIS Task on the SSIS Workers

    We now run the package

    Restart SSMS as a user who has windows authentication on the Scale Out Master

    runas /netonly /user:WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\justdave "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe"

    Expand Integration Services Catalog

    Right Click on SSISDB and Choose "Execute In Scale Out"

    Select the package to run SSIS_Master_1\Pcakage.dstx

    Select the machines to run on

    Click OK and the execution is queued

    Check the script task ran on a machine

    On each worker machine start a command prompt and run type C:\x\*.txt

    We can see a file is created on one of the machines containing the current time!

    If we run again and choose just the other worker the file is created on the other worker machine!

    Microsoft have confirmed the first free worker is used for execution

    I also suggested that from error messages I had seen that it appears the SSIS Worker is using SOAP to talk to the SSIS Master

    It would be good to have a test program to in Java to connect to the SOAP Service for the Master and use wsdl to enumerate the service

    This would be a good test program to connect from the machine running the Scale Out Master service and eliminate issues with networking/missing Certificates on the worker machine.

    Microsoft have said they should be able to create a small test program to help diagnose connection issues and have filed a task to track this effort

    So far it appears that the file is created on the 1st worker by default

    It does not appear round-robin, perhaps load based (?) - more to follow!

    In SSMS we can right click on SSISDB->Reports->Standard Reports and see executions and success/failure

    We can then click on 1 execution and see which machine was used for execution

    3.1.22 SQL Server 2014 with Database Experimentation Assistant 2.0

    Database Experimentation Assistant is used to make Distributed Replay easier to use form comparing workloads e.g. during SQL Server or hardware upgrades

    We use Machine WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA containing the SQL Servers SQL2014X1/SQL2014X2

    Setup SQL Servers SQL2014X1/SQL2014X2 at 2016 SP1 CU2

    We use Window Server 2016 with all latest updates applied.

    We then install 2 SQL Servers with 2014 SP2 called SQL2014X1/SQL2014X2

    Install both servers with all features

    **** Ensure that the Distributed Replay Controller is named the same as the machine (run hostname -> WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA) ****

    Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to change the server ports:

    • SQL Server SQL2014X1 use SQL Server Configuration Manager to change IPAll to static port 1433
    • SQL Server SQL2014X2 use SQL Server Configuration Manager to change IPAll to static port 1443

    Use the standard filewall rules at Firewall rules

    Next we add a firewall rule to open the port for the 2nd SQL Server

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server2" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=1443
    

    Install SSMS 17.00 to connect to both servers

    Install SSMS 17.0 RTM

    Use SSMS 17.0 to connect to both servers

    Run a new query on each server and select @@VERSION on both servers.

    Attach the AdventureWorks2008R2 database to both servers

    Get the AdventureWorks2008R2 database from AdventureWorks Databases – 2012, 2008R2 and 2008

    Copy the .mdf and .ldf files onto the SQL Server machine into both

    • C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X1\MSSQL\DATA
    • C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X2\MSSQL\DATA

    Attach the databases to both databases

    First change the owner of all files to the owner for the instance

    • icacls "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X1\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf" /setowner MSSQL$SQL2014X1
    • icacls "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X1\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_log.ldf" /setowner MSSQL$SQL2014X1
    • icacls "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X2\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf" /setowner MSSQL$SQL2014X2
    • icacls "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X2\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_log.ldf" /setowner MSSQL$SQL2014X2

    Next I forced the attach to work by change the properties on each file

    First on the general tab turn off the readonly tickbox

    This is bad - need to work out a better way!

    On the Security tab -> Advanced -> Click Disable Inheritance and accept the first option to change to explict permissions -> Apply

    On the Security tab -> Edit -> Add -> Advanced -> Find Now -> Select Everyone and give them Full Control

    Back to the good - run sql to attach the databases to each instance

    
    On SQL2014X1
    
    CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks2008R2   
        ON (FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X1\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf'),  
        (FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X1\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_log.ldf')  
        FOR ATTACH; 
    
    On SQL2014X2
    
    CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks2008R2   
        ON (FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X2\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf'),  
        (FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014X2\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_log.ldf')  
        FOR ATTACH;
    

    Use Jonathan Kehayias Books Online Workload generator to run a readonly workload against the first server

    Download Jonathan Kehayias Books Online Workload generator from The AdventureWorks2008R2 Books Online Random Workload Generator

    FYI I modified this to remove queries contains COMPUTE as they were failing in my initial tests on SQL Server 2016

    Put this in C:\x

    Start an admin copy of Powershell from the Start Menu and run

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
    

    Start a copy of Powershell running as the SQL Server sysadmin and run the workload generator as a test

    runas /netonly /user:WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\justdave "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
    cd C:\x
    & '.\Run AdventureWorks BOL Workload.ps1' -server WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\SQL2014X1
    Ctrl-C the workload
    & '.\Run AdventureWorks BOL Workload.ps1' -server WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\SQL2014X2
    Ctrl-C the workload
    

    Open the firewall for the Distributed Replay Controller and Client

    Open the firewall for Distributed Replay Controller binary

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="allow dreplay controller" dir=in program="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\DReplayController\DReplayController.exe" action=allow
    

    Open the firewall for Distributed Replay Client

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="allow dreplay client" dir=in program="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\DReplayClient\DReplayClient.exe" action=allow
    

    Open the firewall for DCOM

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="DCOM" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=135
    

    Optional edit the configuration files for the Distributed Replay Controller and Distributed Replay Client as per Configure Distributed Replay

    FYI I did not make any changes

    Setup DCOM Permissions for the Distributed Replay Client to access the Controller

    Run dcomcnfg
    
    Go to Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer –> DCOM Config -> DReplayController -> Properties -> Security
    
    Edit "Launch and Activation Permissions"
    
    Add "NT Service\SQL Server Distributed Replay Client",check names and grant "Local Activation" and "Remote Activation" permissions
    (Local Launch was there by default)
    

    Add remote launch and activation permissions for the user with sa permissions who will be running DEA (WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\justdave)

    Also setup Access Permissions

    Edit "Access Permissions" 
    
    Add "NT Service\SQL Server Distributed Replay Client" and grant "Local Access" and "Remote Access"
    

    Add Remote Access for the user with sa permissions who will be running DEA (WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\justdave)

    In Computer Management add the Distributed Replay Client to the Distributed COM Users Group

    Go into Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups -> Groups -> Distributed COM Users -> Right Click Add to Group
    
    Add "NT Service\SQL Server Distributed Replay Client"
    

    Start the Distributed Replay Controller and Client

    In services.msc start the "SQL Server Distributed Replay Controller" service

    Check the logfile for the Distributed Replay Controller under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\DReplayController\log

    This should end with "Dump support is ready."

    In services.msc start the "SQL Server Distributed Replay Client" service

    Check the logfile for the Distributed Replay Client under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\DReplayClient\log

    The logfile should end with "Registered with Controller"

    Logout and login as justdave to run DReplay.exe to check connectivity to the Replay Controller

    
    Start a new Powershell prompt
    
    cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools\Binn"
    
    .\DReplay.exe status -m WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA
    

    Logout and login as Adminstrator

    cd C:\x
    & '.\Run AdventureWorks BOL Workload.ps1' -server WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\SQL2014X1
    

    Start the capture

    Once the capture completes cancel the workload generator

    Edit the permissions on the trace file which was generated in C:\x

    Add "NT Service\SQL Server Distributed Replay Controller" and grant read access

    Add "justdave" and grant read access

    Grant the Distributed Replay Client permissions to run sql in the AdventureWorks2008R2 database

    In SSMS connect to server WIN-9Q6ODT3PQDA\SQL2014X1

    Under security add a new login "NT Service\SQL Server Distributed Replay Client"

    Under database AdventureWorks2008R2 add a new user - Windows user "NT Service\SQL Server Distributed Replay Client"

    For Membership give them db_datareader

    Use DEA to Start a Replay against SQL Server SQL2014X1

    On the left choose replay a workload (the Play Video type symbol),New Replay and enter

    4 Centos 6.5 64-bit

    4.1 DB2

    4.1.1 DB2 v10.5.0.3 Fix Pack 3a

    Derived from Install DB2 10.5 on Centos 6.4 and v10.1 64-bit - missing some Linux libraries

    Check centos config

    • ldconfig -v 2>&1 | grep libstdc++.so.6
    • We still needed the 32-bit libstdc++.so.6 and PAM libraries
    • yum whatprovides /lib/libpam.so*
    • yum install compat-libstdc++-33 -y
      yum install pam-1.1.1-17.el6.i686 -y
      yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686 -y
      yum install libstdc++.i686 -y
      yum install compat-libstdc++-296.i686 -y
      yum install libstdc++-devel.i686 -y
      yum install pam-devel.i686 -y
      yum install pam-devel.x86_64 -y
      
    • yum update
    • Disable SELinux : Edit /etc/selinux/config
    • reboot

    Unpack and launch the installer

    • mkdir /tmp/x
    • cd /tmp/x
    • tar xvzf /mnt/hgfs/db2.10.5/v10.5_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz
    • cd server_t
    • ./db2setup

    This installs into /opt/ibm/db2/V10.5/instance.

    As part of this it will do the prerequiste checks in the terminal window!

    Select "Install a Product" then scroll down in the box on the right, pick the product and press the "Install New"

    Pick custom

    I choose DB2 Advanced and to save a response file (/root/db2server.rsp) which is the default button.

    When I got to "Select the features to install" I added:

    • Server support - DB2 Text Search,informix data source support, Spatial Extender server support
    • Client support - Spatial Extender client
    • Application development tools - Base application development tools
    • Oracle data source support

    The installer still mentions the DB2 Information Centre rather than IBM Knowledge Centre!

    The installer then prompts you for:

    • A user for the DB2 Administration Server dasusr1 group dasadm1
    • An instance owner db2inst1 group db2iadm1
    • User information for a fenced user db2fenc1 group dv2fadm1
    • Instance communication and startup - service db2c_db2inst1 port 50000 and to "Autostart the instance at system startup"
    • No instance notifications - they still go to the notify log
    • Configure Text Search - HTTP Service db2j_db2inst1 port 55000

    At the end the installer prompts you login as db2inst1 and to validate your installation files, instance and database functionality using /opt/ibm/db2/V10.5/bin/db2val.

    I then created a sample database

    • su - db2inst1
    • db2pd -utilities - instance should appear as active
    • db2sampl - create sample database
    • connect to the database - db2 connect to sample
    • Query some data - db2 "select tabschema,count(*) from syscat.tables group by tabschema order by tabschema"

    Create a new instance

    • groupadd dasadm2
    • groupadd db2iadm2
    • groupadd db2fadm2
    • useradd dasusr2 -g dasadm2
    • useradd db2inst2 -g db2iadm2
    • useradd db2fenc2 -g db2fadm2
    • /opt/ibm/db2/V10.5/instance/db2icrt -u db2fenc2 db2inst2

    Start/stop instance - tools are in ~instance_owner/sqllib/adm

  • su - db2inst2
  • db2start
  • db2stop
  • 4.1.2 DB2 v10.5.0.4 Fix Pack 4 (Cancun)

    Downloaded from IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

    This is the DB2 for xSeries x86 the x86_64 for Linux

    FYI This is installed on the same VM as 4.1.1 DB2 v10.5.0.3 Fix Pack 3a hence all the previous yum updates apply.

    Unpack and launch the prerequistes check (as purescale can now be done over sockets)

    • mkdir /tmp/x
    • cd /tmp/x
    • tar xvzf /mnt/hgfs/cache/v10.5_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz
    • cd server_t
    • yum install compat-libstdc++-33 -y
      yum install pam-1.1.1-17.el6.i686 -y
      yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686 -y
      yum install libstdc++.i686 -y
      yum install compat-libstdc++-296.i686 -y

      yum install pam-devel.x86_64 -y
      yum install ksh -y
      yum install sg3_utils -y
      yum install yum install gcc-c++ -y
      
    • yum update
    • Disable SELinux : Edit /etc/selinux/config
    • reboot
    • ./db2prereqcheck >/tmp/p1
    • vim /tmp/p1

    Run installer - ./db2setup

    • Select "Install a Product" then scroll down in the box on the right, pick the product and press the "Install New"
    • I choose the 1st item DB2 Version 10.5 Fixpack 4 Workgroup,Enterprise and Advanced Editions
    • Choose custom
    • Choose Install DB2 Server Edition and change response file to (/root/db2server10.5.0.4.rsp).
    • Click Select all which adds Oracle Data Source support
    • Change install directory to /opt/ibm/db2/V10.5.0.4
    • Language left as just English!
    • Access DB2 Information Centre left as on the IBM Web Site
    • Choose Single Partition and create an instance
    • Instance owner db2inst2 group db2iadm2
    • Fenced user db2fenc2 group db2fadm2
    • Instance communication and startup Service name db2c_db2inst2 Port 50001 and tick Autostart instance at system startup
    • Contact for health monitor notification left at default
    • DB2 Text Search service - Service name db2j_db2inst2 port 55001
    • Click Finish
    • Post install steps
    • Optionally run /opt/ibm/db2/V10.0.5.4/bin/db2val to validate installation files,instance, and database functionality
    • Open first steps using db2fs

    I then created a sample database

    • su - db2inst2
    • db2pd -utilities - instance should appear as active
    • db2sampl - create sample database
    • connect to the database - db2 connect to sample
    • Query some data - db2 "select tabschema,count(*) from syscat.tables group by tabschema order by tabschema"

    4.1.3 DB2 v10.5.0.4 HADR

    Install another DB2 setup and instance (db2inst3)

    Set INTRA_PARALLEL YES and bounce server

    Setup will be

    Instance inst2 192.168.139.250 database dave HADR port 60000
    Instance inst3 192.168.139.251 database dave HADR port 60001
    

    Create database dave on inst3

    On inst2:
    db2look -d dave -createdb
    On inst3:
    Paste create database statement into /tmp/a
    db2 -tvf /tmp/a
    On inst2:
    db2 get db cfg for dave > /mnt/hgfs/cache/1
    On inst3:
    db2 get db cfg for dave > /tmp/a
    diff /mnt/hgfs/cache/1 /tmp/a
    

    Update db dave on inst3 to have the same parameters as db dave on inst2

    db2 update db cfg for dave using DATABASE_MEMORY 97475 AUTOMATIC
    db2 update db cfg for dave using SHEAPTHRES_SHR 32000 SORTHEAP 3200

    chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
    chmod -R 775 /u01
    

    Add to /home/oracle/.bash_profile:

    # Oracle Settings
    export TMP=/tmp
    export TMPDIR=$TMP
    
    export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ol6-121.localdomain
    export ORACLE_UNQNAME=orcl

    change to CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6
    

    Now run the installer:

    xhost +
    su - oracle
    cd /tmp/x/database
    /usr/bin/xdpyinfo | head -5 # check $DISPLAY
    ./runInstaller
    

    I went for the defaults (with a good password!) and Server Class install even on my laptop!

    When prompted run the root install scripts:

    • /u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
    • /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1/root.sh

    The installer then runs Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (netca) abd Database Configuration Assistant (dbca)

    Details will be:

    • Global database name: orcl.localdomain
    • System Identifier (SID): orcl
    • Server Parameter Filename: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1/dbs/spfileorcl.ora
    • EM Database Express URL: https://ol6-121.localdomain:5500/em

    Password Management - set passwords for SYS and SYSTEM.

    Install logs are in /tmp or /u01/app/oraInventory/logs

    To check install was ok

    • cd universal
    • ./db2prereqcheck > /tmp/p1
    • vim /tmp/p1

    This setup is not Purescale so next

    • ./installFixPack -b /opt/ibm/db2/V11.1
    • Answer no to a different installation directory

    Upgrade the runs to completion

    Post-installation instructions 
    -------------------------------
    
    Required steps: 
    Start using the DB2 product using a valid user ID such as the DB2 instance owner's ID "
    db2inst1". 
    
    Optional steps: 
    To validate your installation files, instance, and database functionality, run the Vali
    dation Tool, /opt/ibm/db2/V11.1/bin/db2val. For more information, see "db2val" in the D
    B2 Information Center. 
    
    Open First Steps by running "db2fs" using a valid user ID such as the DB2 instance owne
    r's ID. You will need to have DISPLAY set and a supported web browser in the path of th
    is user ID. 
    
    Verify that you have access to the DB2 Information Center based on the choices you made
     during this installation. If you performed a typical or a compact installation, verify
     that you can access the IBM Web site using the internet. If you performed a custom ins
    tallation, verify that you can access the DB2 Information Center location specified dur
    ing the installation. 
    
    Ensure that you have the correct license entitlements for DB2 products and features ins
    talled on this machine. Each DB2 product or feature comes with a license certificate fi
    le (also referred to as a license key) that is distributed on an Activation CD, which a
    lso includes instructions for applying the license file. If you purchased a base DB2 pr
    oduct, as well as, separately priced features, you might need to install more than one 
    license certificate. The Activation CD for your product or feature can be downloaded fr
    om Passport Advantage if it is not part of the physical media pack you received from IB
    M. For more information about licensing, search the Information Center (https://www-01.
    ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.kc.doc/welcome.html) usin
    g terms such as "license compliance", "licensing" or "db2licm". 
    
    To use your DB2 database product, you must have a valid license. For information about 
    obtaining and applying DB2 license files, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgece
    nter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.qb.server.doc/doc/c0061199.html.

      Take the host number and force a rescan of that scsi bus
      - echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
      - fdisk /dev/sdb
      - add a new partition (n) default partition 1, set size as +4G, note the UUID=
      - change the type (t) to type 82 linux swap
      - write (w) the partition back
      - mkswap /dev/sdb1
      - vim /etc/fstab
      - duplicate the swap line but change the start to UUID= and the uuid of the partition e.g.
      UUID=81259d7e-7a36-4631-a178-ec84c0c01892 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

    Add a new 20GB hard disk and add a 4GB swap device

    • In VMWare Workstation add a new hard disk with defaults which will be a SCSI disk 20GB in size
    • Rescan the scsi bus
    • - grep mpt /sys/class/scsi_host/host?/proc_name
        /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/proc_name:mptspi
      Take the host number and force a rescan of that scsi bus
      - echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
      - fdisk /dev/sdb
      - add a new partition (n) default partition 1, set size as +4G, note the UUID=
      - change the type (t) to type 82 linux swap
      - write (w) the partition back
      - mkswap /dev/sdb1
      - vim /etc/fstab
      - duplicate the swap line but change the start to UUID= and the uuid of the partition e.g.
      UUID=81259d7e-7a36-4631-a178-ec84c0c01892 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
      - swapon -av
      - swapon -s
      
    , use fdisk,mkswap,/etc/fstab to add 4GB

    6 Raspberry Pi 2

    6.1 Informix

    6.1.1 Informix 12.10.FC4 on Raspberry Pi 2

    First download NOOBS from Raspberry Pi Downloads and install NOOBS are per the setup guide Getting Started with NOOBS This starts with the SD Card Formatter

    To convert from exFat to FAT32 use diskpart (run as administrator)

    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 2
    list partition 1
    shrink  (->1MB)
    extend size=32766 (->1MB less than 32GB)
    list partition (will appear as 31GB)
    format fs=fat32 quick
    

    Copy the NOOBS files onto the SD drive

    Eject the SD device

    Insert SD, HDMI,USB Keyboard/Mouse,Network and lastly Power into Raspberry PI 2

    With thanks to Mount an SMB network drive on Raspberry Pi

    and A SQL database for sensor and JSON data on Raspian

    Download Putty to be able to remotely login to the RaspBerry Pi 2 SSH using Windows

    This goes to PuTTY Download Page

    vi /home/pi/.smbcredentials
    Add
    username=x
    password=y
    and save
    chmod 600 /home/pi/.smbcredentials
    sudo mkdir /media/cache
    sudo vi /etc/fstab
    Add an entry similar to
    //192.168.0.7/cache /media/cache cifs credentials=/home/pi/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0
    sudo mount -a
    

    I copied the install files locally

    sudo mkdir -p /opt/cache/ifmx
    cd /opt/cache/ifmx
    cp /media/cache/ifmx/ids* .
    

    Set kernel parameters

    sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf
    Add
    kernel.shmmax = 536870912

    mssql-scripter

    mssql scripter is a Python based tool to generate create and insert statements from database objects

    First we install pip

    • curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "get-pip.py"
    • cksum get-pip.py -- should be 322870790 1595408 get-pip.py

    • python get-pip.py
    • pip --version # This needs to be version 9.0 or above

    Next we install and test mssql-scripter

    • pip install mssql-scripter
    • mssql-scripter -h
    • exit

    We try this against the locally installed sql server

    sqlcmd -S localhost -U sa
     create database justdave
     use justdave
     create table jobs (job_no int) with (DATA_COMPRESSION = PAGE)
     go
     exit
    
    mssql-scripter --server localhost --database justdave --user sa --include-objects jobs
    

    Install DBFS tool

    DBFS tool is an open source tool which exposes DMVs as virtual files in a virtual folder on Linux

    yum install icu libunwind python-pip -y 
    pip install mssql-cli
    su - sqlcli
    

    The pip install command downloads the required files!

    mssql-cli is installed in /usr/bin!

    Telemtry can be disabled by setting environment variable MSSQL_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT to 'True' or '1'.

    Digging further we see that python is used "python -m mssqlcli.main" and "mssqltoolsservice"

    Help can be found with --help

    Once connected IntelliSense is available

    Although it does not fill in @@ variables!

    Even though SOME @@ variables ARE syntax highlighted!

    Press Enter runs the query, go or ';' is not needed!

    Once the query is complete, press 'q' to get back to the query prompt

    Press Ctrl-D to leave the program and we get a reply "Goodbye!"!

    -- In Solution Explorer under "SSIS Packages" change Package.dtsx to RST.dtsx
    -- On the menu Choose Build->Build Solution

    chmod 777 /var/opt/ssis/.system/system
    

    This fails with "The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform."

    We then create a C program as /tmp/a

    
    vim /tmp/a.c
    
    cat /tmp/a.c
    #include 
    #include 
    #include 
    #include 
    
    int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    {
      int fd;
      char *args[] = { "/bin/date",0 };
      
    
      fd=open("/tmp/b",O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC);
      close(1);
      dup2(fd,1);
      execve(args[0], &args[0],NULL);
      
    }
    
    gcc -o /tmp/a /tmp/a.c
    

    This fails again with the same error

    We then try a package containing a file system task to create a directory

    
    In Visual Studio 2015 on the Project menu we select Add Package and rename the package to FST.dtsx
    
    On the Control Flow we add a File System Task and rename this to MakeDir.
    
    In properties we set the operation to "Create Directory"
    
    In the connection managers pane we add a New File Connection, rename this to "z" and change the "Connection String" to /tmp/z
    
    We then build the solution and try running the Package via dtexec and get an error that the filename contain invalid characters
    

    We amend the "Connection string" to C:\tmp\z and this works and creates the folder /tmp/z!
