Project Plan

    I'm looking for a decent Project Plan (in any format) for moving from SQL Server 2000 to a SQL Server 2000 Clustered environment. I welcome articles that discuss clustering and testing, but I'm really looking for a Project Plan (Tasks, Duration, Resource, etc).

    Thanks,

    Matthew

    I would perform the migration on a test server and generate your own project plan before I would trust anyone else's. There are too many variables when dealing with a conversion like this (I've done several). If you don't have access to a test cluster (and you can't perform a dry run on the production cluster before hand), look into VMWare of Virtual PC, etc.

    Chris,

    Thanks- we've already done the Cluster migration, although we're still live with the old box.  We are planning on flicking the switch (point live web farm to cluster) in a few weeks. I just want a project plan to see what items i could be missing. I just assumed someone from an organization that has more formal processes (i.e., documentation) would already have a Proj Plan lying around and be able to post it.

    Everyone else: once i'm done creating my (God, I hope I know what I'm doing) Project Plan, I'll post to site. I've grabbed a lot from Cluster articles, but who knows...

     NOTE: Sorry guys- not sure how to attach a MS Word doc, and i'm in a hurry, so i just copied/pasted my project plan here.  The comments as footnotes suck, so if you want the word doc, post your email address and i'll send you what i have.  Good luck!!!

     2.      Introduction

    The cluster migration project is moving data from the OURCOMPANY production SQL Server OldServerName[MJH3]  to the new SQL Server cluster (NewServerA[MJH4] , NewServerB), including all database objects, helper applications, appropriate security/permissions and network access.  See 7.5 Change Document in the Appendices for the changes made (connection, configuration) for the migration.

     

     

    3.      Objectives and Consequences

     

    3.1 The SQL Server cluster project objectives include:

    • Reduced I/O bottlenecks
    • Increased query performance for reports and slow-loading web pages
    • Increased transaction throughput
    • Improve maintainability of SQL Server

    • Create a job responsibility matrix for all processes.  The SQL Job Matrix should enumerate all SQL jobs, descriptions, “criticality”, schedule, average run time, dependencies, and success / failure email groups. Identify escalation owners for each job in the event of job failure
    • Consider creating database maintenance plans that automatically rebuild indexes on tables identified as critical
    • Determine an automated way of daily moving production databases onto a development/test SQL Server

  • Permit an automatic response to failed server or software without human intervention
  • Provide fast and simple failover capabilities

    • Perform upgrades without forcing users off the system for extended periods of time
    • Reduce downtime due to routine server, network, or database maintenance or a failure
    • Provide rapid fallback once the failed server is restored
    • Clustering doesn't require any servers to be renamed. So when failover occurs, the SQL Server instance is relatively transparent (interface remains the same for client applications and end-users)

  • Increase the scalability of an application.

    •  

    3.2 Potential Disadvantages to SQL Server Clustering:

    • More expensive than other failover alternatives, such as log shipping or stand-by servers.
    • Requires more set up time than other alternatives.
    • Requires more on-going maintenance than other alternatives.
    • Requires more experienced DBAs and network administrators.
    • Hard-coded dependencies (\\UNC) to the machine hosting a specific instance of SQL Server will fail if not updated during/after a failover.

        7.4 Lessons Learned

        ID

        Phase

        Lessons Learned

        1.       

        Requirements Analysis & Scope

        §          Know what your goals are before you begin this. List them in your project documentation. More ram and processors won’t make your apps faster if your design has bottlenecks.

        §          Identify potential disadvantages to migrating, and create a risk mitigation strategy. I only had 2 weeks, so my risk mitigation strategy was to document every issue and change as it occurred, in case we had to fail back to our old sql server.

        2.       

        Design and Development

        §          Document everything in your environment that touches your sql box – web apps, win apps, odbcs, helper apps, data, etc.

        §          Create a test index (skeleton of issues to test)

        §          Create test plans that your grandmother could use (flesh out the test index- see my test case template)

        §           

        3.       

        Production Hardware Setup

        §           

        4.       

        Install Cluster

        §          If you bring someone in to setup your cluster, don’t let him/her out of the building until they provide appropriate documentation.

        5.       

        Functional, Integration, End User and Load Testing

        §          Execute test plans  

        §          Add missed items/issues to your test plans as they occur for next iteration of testing

        §           

        6.       

        Cluster Deployment

        §          Use db comparison tools (RedGate [MJH29] or DBGhost) to compare data AND db objects before and after every restore[MJH30]  during testing and especially before go live.

        §          Run all jobs after 1st (test) restore – test for failure first (pages, operators), then success

        §          Make sure no one from support or development is logged on any of the servers needed for the migration (remote, locked, etc)

        §          Send out an email before and after rebooting servers to network admins

        7.       

        Cluster Maintenance

        (follow up after deployment)

        §          Script all db objects for all databases and add to vss

        §          Ensure vss is backed up to tape

        • Monitor all critical jobs
        •

        7.8 Test Plans[MJH41] 

         

        Introduction

        Basically, this test script walks the user through testing the basic functionality of all of the Setup pages in OurWebApp 2.0 (cluster.WebApp.com).  Please be as thorough as possible – TRY TO BREAK IT. Although we’re not testing the web site’s functionality, we do want to look for missing permissions/access based on using the sql cluster instead of OLDSERVERNAME. 

        Note: We need to test all of this functionality on both NEWSERVERNAMEA and NEWSERVERNAMEB, so remember to test everything the same after the failover.

         [MJH1]I created this project plan and managed the cluster migration project at my work.  I am providing this document as an idea generator for your cluster migration. Please email me [reusable] ideas you would add to this project plan, along with any constructive criticism. Be gentle – it was my first experience as a project manager!

         [MJH2]Of course, you’ll replace my info with your details.

         [MJH3]Do a global replace on OldServerName with the server you’re replacing.

         [MJH4]Do a global replace on NewServerA and NewServerB with the cluster.

         [MJH5]See 6. Project Schedule.

         [MJH6]See Appendices: 7.7 Deployment Document

         [MJH7]I put initials of team members here, but b/c my team was also busy with their regular tasks (web apps), I colour-coded their initials to make it easy for them to see everything they were assigned. Feel free to kill the (gaudy) colours.

         [MJH8]Any requirements analysis was done before I came on staff, so there are no documents for these phases. I added to the project so we know the next time to make sure to understand what our goals and needs are.

         [MJH9]Test on both servers (Node A and Node B)!!

         [MJH10] Test for success and failure (pages, emails, etc).

         [MJH11]NOTE: I used DMO to migrate DTS packages (to rename server settings), but the version history didn’t come over. You might want to copy over sysdtspackages to your new server and then manually rename the server settings.

         [MJH12]If there are directories on your old sql server box, replicate them in new server environment and check for permissions, etc.

         [MJH13]Manually update server.config after failover

         [MJH14]Found for jobs, procs and udfs

         [MJH15]Doc after cluster

         [MJH16]After cluster

         [MJH17]AFTER Cluster migration

         [MJH18]OMITTED: No time to load test.

         [MJH19]The test period was the BEST time to analyze our current indexing strategy, and test alternate indexes. We really missed an opportunity by not testing here.

         [MJH20]Rollback document consists of the Deployment Document and Change Document

         [MJH21]Added 2/14/05

         [MJH22]Rescheduled from 2/21 to 2/20 phone conf

         [MJH23]Rescheduled from 2/21 to 2/20

         [MJH24]Failed over to B Wed; failed over to A Thur; failed back to A Fri

         [MJH25]Grabbed this from SQL2k Resource Kit

         [MJH26]contains information about the state of the cluster

         [MJH27]Grabbed this from SQL2k Resource Kit

         [MJH28]This is the original project plan my boss created.

         [MJH29]We have RedGate.

         [MJH30]By restore, I mean the restore process – restore dbs, update scripts, etc.

         [MJH31]Had to kill all my changes, b/c they’re specific info in our environment.

         [MJH32]I added owner of change here, but you could add another column.

         [MJH33]Project was in 2 weeks, so I omitted month/year from date.

         [MJH34]Initials of team member who found issue.

         [MJH35]I added initials of team member who resolved the issue.

         [MJH36]Removed or replaced specific info

         [MJH37]IDEA: Compare all db objects BEFORE first restore – see if someone made changes that weren’t scripted during the test week – Added 2/21.

        IDEA:  [MJH38]Added 2/21

         [MJH39]Db object compare all dbs – Added 2/21

         [MJH40]Data is tentatively LIVE after 2:00 PM – no changes!!

         [MJH41]Obviously, this was a huge part of the project plan – but all of our test cases were specific to our applications. We used the Test Case template for only more complex testing – and we used a simple format for just clicking around testing basic web availability.

         [MJH42]Cut out a lot of our specific stuff – but it’s good to create a list of high level apps/connections/processes to test.

      Hey everyone - I've sent my Word doc to several folks who have emailed me requesting it.  If you have a different project plan (or have made improvements to my document), please let the group know (subtle hint to provide feedback).

      My document was an internal deliverable, and I had to gut out a lot of the implementation details for obvious reasons, but I'm hoping we can create some reusable template ideas when migrating. For example, we'll need document templates for migrating to SQL Server 2005's cluster technology. Also, there may be some things to watch out for when migrating to 64-bit. 

      My organization will migrate from Sql 2000 (on cluster-aware Win2k3) to Sql 2005 sometime in FY 06, so I'll be sure to submit our new project plan once it's done, but I'm really hoping for new ideas from some of you (not-so-subtle hint to provide feedback). 

      Thanks,

      Matthew

      Could you send me a copy of the plan?  I will use it as a starting point to create a SQL Server project template, which I can send back to you  when I get it done.

      Thanks,
