equal or greater services than the backup node; nofailback fails back only if a
higher-ranked node provides greater services than the backup node. autofailback
is the default.
--application <application>
The application tag associated with this Virtual SQL Server. If you do not specify
an application, the IP address for the Virtual SQL Server will be used.
[--msdtc|--no_msdtc]
Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) is used to coordinate
transactions between different SQL instances running on different nodes in the
cluster. There can be only one MSDTC service on each machine.
When the --msdtc option is used to manage MS DTC via a Virtual SQL Server,
the following limitations apply:
• Because only one MSDTC resource exists per machine, you can define MSDTC
support for only one Virtual SQL Server per machine. You can, however,
define other Virtual SQL Servers that do not support MSDTC.
If two MSDTC-enabled Virtual SQL Servers share the same backup and both
Virtual SQL Servers fail, the first server to come up will lock the MSDTC re-
source, preventing the other Virtual SQL Server from starting.
• You cannot use COM+ components or MSMQ on a node where MSDTC has
been virtualized.
• When the --no_msdtc option is used, MS DTC is not managed via a Virtual
SQL Server.
For more information about MSDTC, see the HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft
SQL Server administration guide.
[--force yes|no]
When set to yes, this option causes the operation to complete even if it encounters
an error.
<ip> is the IP address for the Virtual SQL Server. <name> is the NetBIOS name
and can include up to 15 characters.
The order in which you specify the network interfaces determines the ordering for
failover. The first network interface is the primary interface; network traffic for the
Virtual SQL Server goes to the node providing this interface. The remaining network
interfaces are backups. Each network interface must be located on a different node.
delete—Delete a Virtual SQL Server
mx vsql delete [--force yes|no] <vsql>
The --force yes option will delete a Virtual SQL Server on a node that is down.
