Hi all,

I have a single node cluster with 1 x sql instance. I amended the start up parameters, incorrectly, via sql config manager so SQL would not start.

I went in & changed the parameters to be correct, but the change won't persist. Every time I try to start SQL again, the incorrect change is automatically written back to the start up parameters (& the reg)

I have tried the following:
Amending via the registry
Amending via SQL config manager
starting via cmd line sqlserver.exe ...
net start & net stop

I can start SQL with the cmd line options but cannot get the parameter changes to stay in place and I cannot start SQL via the cluster or service.

I read this, which sounds like the problem, but the solution does not work for me.

Any ideas?

SQL 25K

Thanks in advance!!

Aha, this DOES work:

amend params via registry
net start mssqlserver
start sql via cluadmin.exe

stop via cluadmin.exe & start again

changes will persist.

sorry to bother, hope this helps someone.

This pretty much worked for me though i had to reset the registry entry again before stopping and starting SQL in cluadmin.exe.

Apparently this is due to Checkpointing - and MS have an official workaround. Although I still think baby_cheeses method involves far less hacking around.
