Chapter 6: Instance Aliasing 90

Map Named Instances

If your legacy SQL connections are for named SQL instances, use the

Named instance remapping table on the Instance Aliasing window. To

create a mapping to the Virtual SQL Server providing access to the new

named virtual SQL instance, click New. The Add Named Alias window

appears.

From legacy IP. Enter the IP address to which clients connected when

using the legacy named instance.

Port. Enter the port number used by the legacy named instance.

To Virtual IP. Enter the IP address used by the Virtual SQL Server that

will be providing the new named virtual SQL instance.

Port. For a SQL Server 2000 instance, type the port number that you

specified when you installed the SQL Server instance on the matrix. For a

SQL Server 2005 instance, type the port number for TCP/IP Sockets that

the SQL Server instance should listen on. (You specified this number on

the Add Virtual SQL Instance window when you added the SQL Server

instance to the Virtual SQL Server.)
