3.4.3 MxDB for SQL Server Installation and Administration Guide

Chapter 2: Install SQL Server 9

• The SQL Server 2005 instance installation captures and stores the

current IP network configuration of the node on which it is installed. If

you later need to change the network configuration (for example, to

remove a NIC or change its IP), it is necessary to devirtualize the

Virtual SQL Servers on the affected node, make the needed changes,

and then revirtualize the Virtual SQL Servers.

• If you will be installing SQL Server 2005 instances and SQL Server

2000 instances on the same node, be sure to install the SQL Server 2000

instances (including SP4) before installing the SQL Server 2005

instances.

Supported 32-Bit and 64-Bit SQL Server 2005 Installations

32-bit and 64-bit SQL Server 2005 instances can be installed on the

following versions of the operating system.

Set Permissions on Existing PSFS Filesystems

If you will be installing a SQL 2005 instance on a mountpoint for a PSFS

filesystem created under Matrix Server 3.2 or earlier, the installation may

fail if the file permissions are not set appropriately. You can use any of the

following methods to set the permissions if necessary.

• Mount the filesystem as a drive letter (for example, s:\). In Windows

Explorer, open the Properties for the volume and select the Security

tab. Then set the permissions to Full Control for Administrators/users.

• Mount the filesystem as a mountpoint (for example, c:\psfs\psd15p1).

In Windows Explorer, open the Properties for the folder, then go to the

“Mounted Volume” properties (this is not the same as the folder

security) and set the permission for Administrators/users to Full

Control.
