    Un-expected SQL Server restart

    One of the clustered SQL Server was "restarted" (not failover) yesterday mysteriously.

    We only know that it's something to do with MSDTC. Here are the log entries

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Date 12/11/2007 3:14:02 PM
    Log SQL Server (Archive #1 - 12/11/2007 3:15:00 PM)

    Source Server

    Message
    The connection has been lost with Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC). Recovery of any in-doubt distributed transactions involving Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) will begin once the connection is re-established. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Date 12/11/2007 3:15:30 PM
    Log SQL Server (Archive #1 - 12/11/2007 3:15:00 PM)

    Source spid53

    Message
    Configuration option 'Agent XPs' changed from 1 to 0. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Date 12/11/2007 3:15:44 PM
    Log SQL Server (Archive #1 - 12/11/2007 3:15:00 PM)

    Source spid35s

    Message

    Date 12/11/2007 3:15:46 PM
    Log SQL Server (Archive #1 - 12/11/2007 3:15:00 PM)

    Source spid11s

    Message
    SQL Server is terminating in response to a 'stop' request from Service Control Manager. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Date 12/11/2007 3:15:46 PM
    Log SQL Server (Archive #1 - 12/11/2007 3:15:00 PM)

    Source spid11s

    Message
    SQL Trace was stopped due to server shutdown. Trace ID = '1'. This is an informational message only; no user action is required.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    ----Then restart happened.

    Thanks in advance.

    Similar error encountered

    Hi,

    We experienced a somewhat similar sequence of events on a database server today (Windows Server 2003, MS SQL 2005). I pasted the sequence of event log messages below. After this occurred, our database was unreachable until we rebooted. I'm not sure if it would have eventually come back online on its own had we waited. We are looking for some information as to what may cause this sort of issue. Can anyone shed any light on that for us? Thanks in advance.

    Luke

    Unhappy Re Un expected server SQL Server

    We are seeing something very similar. We have had teh same set of error messages twice now in just under 12 hours. the first tiem this error occured it caused teh cluster to log the resource as failed and it restarted the SQL server instance.

    The second time it did not so teh SQL server instance kept on running.

    We are looking to raise a call with our application supplier to make sure that the application is not doing anything unexpected.


    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Stu
