Log Shipping Error

  • The issue is the secondary server was renamed. If you check the servername you will notice it is incorrect.

    SELECT @@SERVERNAME

    These commands will correct the server rename and then it requires a restart of SQL Server.

    sp_dropserver 'WRONGNAME'

    GO

    sp_addserver 'NEWNAME', local

    GO

    If you cannot restart the SQL Server immediately then you will need to correct the secondary servers copy job and restore jobs commands.

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\sqllogship.exe" -Copy 6494A057-7D63-4DAD-9A3F-1EBFCA98E1EE -server WRONGNAME

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\sqllogship.exe" -Restore 6494A057-7D63-4DAD-9A3F-1EBFCA98E1EE -server WRONGNAME

    Change it to the new name of the instance

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\sqllogship.exe" -Copy 6494A057-7D63-4DAD-9A3F-1EBFCA98E1EE -server NEWNAME

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\sqllogship.exe" -Restore 6494A057-7D63-4DAD-9A3F-1EBFCA98E1EE -server NEWNAME

  • This solution worked for me.  I had cloned the primary server vm and renamed it but didn't rename the DB server internally.  Once I used the sp_Dropserver/sp_Addserver AND updated the Copy/Restore jobs, everything worked fully.
