abrupt SQL Server restarts

  • I have recently installed a SQL Server 2012 instance and have deployed a few databases on it.

    However, the server is restaring abruptly and nothing is clear from SQL Server logs.

    I see some wierd messages in event viewer like the below ones:

    Product: SQL Server 2012 Database Engine Services - Update '{402234FB3-7241-4B6D-83A4-92323BCS3DC8}' could not be installed. Error code 1642. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for instructions on turning on logging support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23127

    Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards.

    Whats the reason for the SQL restart? Would a Service pack upgrade help?

  • Friends,

    need urgent help on this.

  • If you need urgent help on a rather odd problem, open a case with Microsoft support.

    I agree with Gail on this one. This is one for the folks at MS.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • Hi Gail,

    Sorry.I didnt mean to pressurize people here.

    Do you have any idea on this? Would a service pack upgrade help here?

    No idea whatsoever. Call MS support and open a case with them (yes, there is a cost).

  • Sure Gail. I will do it. Thanks

  • Did you ever find a reason for this?

    I'm seeing it on my 2008 server, 2008 R2 SQL.

    That server has frequent mysterious failovers - I'm wondering if this is a symptom or a clue that something bigger is going on?

  • Could you post your 2008 problem in a new thread (in the 2008 forum) and include the last portion of the error log from before an abrupt restart?
