SQL Server 2005 hotfix 2153
Hotfix 2153 for SQL Server 2005 SP1 can be installed via the update wizard; however, the
SSIS/NS/Tools components will not be updated. If you need these shared components, update them
manually after the wizard has completed. The components will then be registered on the node.
NOTE:
Instead of installing hotfix 2153, we recommend that you install SP2, which includes the fixes in Hotfix
2153.
Service pack and hotfix names
The installation procedure expects the names of SQL Server service packs and hotfixes to follow the
standardized naming schema defined in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822499
The installation will fail if the name of a service pack or hotfix has been changed and it no longer
matches the schema.
Use of a hidden administrative share
During its initialization phase, the SQL Server 2008 setup program uses a hidden administrative share
as the location for a tempfolder. If the setup program attempts to place the tempfolder on a PSFS
volume where the hidden administrative share is not yet created by LAN Manager, the setup will fail.
To work around this problem, use the following command to create an administrative share on the
PSFS volume. In the command, s:\ is the PSFS volume.
net share s$=s:\ /grant:builtin\administrators,full
Installation log files
The installation log for SQL Server 2008 Service Packs is located at:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix
The installation log for SQL Server 2005 Service Packs is located at:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix
NOTE:
The SQL installation logs are also copied to the following directory:
%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Polyserve\MatrixServer\conf\debug\SQLLogs
The directory can grow large over time, particularly if the instances are patched regularly. To limit
the size of the directory, it should be emptied periodically on all nodes.
Run the Multi-Node Update Wizard for SQL Server
Be sure to put any virtualized SQL or SSAS instances into maintenance mode before attempting to
patch them, as described under “Maintenance mode is required for update operations” on page 49.
