SharePoint 2013 – Unknown SQL Exception 64

January 7, 2014 12:46 PM / Leave a Comment / XeroX

After a major network outage one of our server doesn’t want to connect to the database server anymore. The event log was spammed with the following message:

Error    07.01.2014 10:09:09    Microsoft-SharePoint Products-SharePoint Foundation    5586    Database    “Unknown SQL Exception 64 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.

A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 – The specified network name is no longer available.)”

This message only appeared on one out of five servers. No reboot, no iisreset resolved the problem.

We resolved the issue by moving the database to another sql node (FailOver / Always On). When you move the database all connections will be forcibly closed. Seems that the sql server doesn’t allow the server to connect to the database as some connection was still established. If you can’t move the database to another node, simply restart the instance or put the affected database in single user mode to close the connections.

Display ESXi health status of Dell Perc 5/i

January 5, 2014 3:31 AM / 2 Comments / XeroX

So how to display health status of a Dell Perc 5/i (LSI 8404E) in ESXi incuding battery and raid status?

Nothing easier than that. Most admins know the Dell Perc 5/i is a LSI 8404E with firmware and bootloader from dell.

Download the latest LSI MegaRAID SMIS Provider for VMWare from here: http://www.lsi.com/search/pages/Results.aspx?k=VMWare%20SMIS&v1=-write

Upload the VIB File to your ESXi and install via commandline.

esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib –no-sig-check

Result should be:

Installation Result
Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.
Reboot Required: true
VIBs Installed: LSI_bootbank_lsiprovider_500.04.V0.38-0005
VIBs Removed:
VIBs Skipped:

Simply reboot your ESXi and now you can view the health status on your server.

ESXI5i

UPDATE: LSI was aquired by Avago and Avago was aquired by Broadcom.
