The CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_UPGRADE_DLL control code fails with an "access denied" error message when you install a SQL Server 2008 service pack or hotfix that tries to update a custom resource DLL


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you install a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 service pack or hotfix that tries to update a custom resource DLL, the CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_UPGRADE_DLL control code fails with an "access denied" error message. Therefore, you cannot install the service pack or the hotfix. Additionally, you see an event that is similar to the following in the cluster log:

0000068c.00001370::date & time ERR [RCM] rcm::RcmResControl::DoResourceControl: ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED(5)' because of 'MoveFileEx( currentDllPath.c_str(), oldFileName.c_str(), MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING | MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED | MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH )'

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • You have a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database instance installed in a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster environment.
  • You installed a SQL Server 2008 RTM database instance. The installation process uses resource control to upgrade the SQL Server custom resource DLLs. The DLLs are shared by all instances.
  • During the installation, you receive no indication that a restart is required. Therefore, you do not restart the Cluster service or the whole cluster node after the installation.
Note This problem is known to affect SQL Server, but it could affect any product that uses resource control to update a custom resource DLL.

Cause

The Windows ClusterResourceControl API is used to update resource type DLLs in a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster environment. This API causes the computer to require a restart each time a resource DLL is updated, even if it is not necessary. If the computer is not restarted, the access denied error occurs.
