3.4.3 MxDB for SQL Server Installation and Administration Guide

Chapter 2: Install SQL Server 21

Supported SQL Server 2000 Installations

SQL Server 200 instances can be installed on the following versions of the

operating system:

• Windows 2003 SP1 or SP2, 32-bit

•

Windows 2003 R2 (or R2 with SP2), 32-bit or 64-bit

Installation Steps

The installation procedure consists of the following steps:

1. Copy the SQL Server 2000 setup files to a PSFS filesystem.

2. Record an installation file for SQL Server 2000.

3. Install a SQL instance on the appropriate nodes.

4. Copy the files for the SQL Server 2000 Service Pack to a PSFS

filesystem. (The files include an installation file for unattended

installations; you do not need to record the file.)

5. Install Service Pack 3 (or higher) on each SQL instance. Service Pack 4

is required for SQL Server 2000 installations on a 64-bit machine.

6. Install any hotfixes on each SQL instance.

To install additional SQL Server instances, record a new installation file if

desired and then perform steps 3, 5, and 6.

Copy the SQL Server 2000 Setup Files

This procedure copies the SQL Server 2000 setup files to a PSFS filesystem

on shared storage. To begin, start the PolyServe Management Console

and select Matrix > Install SQL. The Install SQL window now appears.

Select a product: Select “MSSQL 2000 Database Engine” from the list.

Select a task: Before installing SQL instances, the SQL Server 2000 setup

files must be copied to a PSFS filesystem. Under step “1. Preparation,”

click on “Copy media to cluster filesystem.”
