Recently one of our development servers crashed. Upon recovery we started to receive the following error messages when backing up the Microsoft SQL databases: “Unable to get the SQL Version for the server [DEVSERVER]. Please check if the SQL Services are running.”
It’s important to note:
- Before the crash the backups ran fine;
- the file “SQLServerInstanceList.txt” listed the following information: “(local);Clustered:No;Version:11.0.5058.0“;
- the SQLiDA log only mentions “Unable to get the SQL Version for the server“;
- the server has been restarted and the SQL iDataAgent has been reconfigured (removed keeping software in place and reconfigured).
