Create a Notifier for the Registry Replicator

To assist with monitoring MxDB for SQL Server, we recommend that you

create a notifier for the alerts generated by the Registry Replicator. (Alerts

for the Registry Replicator are in the event range 40510 to 40516.) See the

PolyServe Matrix Server Administration Guide for information about

configuring notifiers.

Change the Network Configuration (SQL Server 2005

Only)

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

configured on the affected node, make the needed changes, and then

revirtualize.

To devirtualize a Virtual SQL Server, you will need to delete it from the

matrix configuration. Select the Virtual SQL Server on the PolyServe

Management Console, right-click, and select Delete.

After making your network changes, you can recreate the Virtual SQL

Server.

Add a New Node to a Virtual SQL Server

The new node must be running Matrix Server and MxDB for SQL Server

and must belong to the matrix. To add the node to a Virtual SQL Server,

take these steps:

1. Start the Multi-Node Install Wizard and install the SQL instances

associated with the Virtual SQL Server. Use the templates that were

used to install the instances on the other nodes configured for the

Virtual SQL Server.

2. Add the node to the Virtual SQL Server. Right-click on the Virtual SQL

Server, select Properties and then add the node on the Update Virtual

SQL Server dialog.
