• A Virtual SQL Server can include both SQL Server 2000 and SQL

Server 2005 instances.

To add a SQL instance to a Virtual SQL Server, select the Virtual SQL

Server on the PolyServe Management Console, right-click, and select Add

Virtual SQL Instance.

Name: This field lists all of the SQL instances that are available for

assignment to this Virtual SQL Server. Select the appropriate SQL

instance.

NOTE: MxDB for SQL Server uses the following rules to determine the

SQL instances that can be assigned to the Virtual SQL Server. The

Name field does not include instances that do not meet these

requirements.

• The SQL instance must exist on all of the nodes providing

network interfaces for the Virtual SQL Server. (The instance

must have the same name on all of the nodes.)
