4.0.0 HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server Administration Guide (T5392-96056, March 2010)

Mapping file location. Specify the location of the ia.conf file. The file should be located on a PSFS
filesystem that can be accessed by all nodes in the matrix. All nodes should use the same drive letter
or mount point for the filesystem.
Refresh rate synch interval. Select the poll interval, in seconds, for checking the ia.conf file for
configuration changes. The default is 10 seconds.
Enable the Polyserve SQL Browser Service. If you are mapping named SQL Server instances, you will
need to enable the PolyServe SQL Browser Service. This service is then used instead of the Microsoft
SQL Browser Service, which cannot handle mappings for virtual named instances or name-to-name
redirection.
After completing your entries, click OK to return to the Instance Aliasing window. Your settings will
not take effect until you click OK on the Instance Aliasing window.
Map default instances
If your legacy SQL connections are for default instances, use the Default instance remapping table
on the Instance Aliasing window. To create a mapping to the Virtual SQL Server providing access to
the new default virtual SQL instance, click New. The Add Default Alias window appears.
From legacy IP. Enter the IP address to which clients connected when using the legacy default instance.
Port. The port used by the legacy default instance must be 1433.
To virtual IP. Enter the IP address used by the Virtual SQL Server providing the new default virtual
SQL instance.
NOTE:
Aliasing does not verify the specified IP address. Be sure to enter an IP address that corresponds to
a Virtual SQL Server.
Port. 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.)
Click OK to return to the Instance Aliasing window. Your entry will be added to the ia.conf file
when you click OK on the Instance Aliasing window.
