Monitoring Virtual SSAS instances
SQL Server Profiler
When you start a new trace with SQL Server Profiler, you are prompted for the server name. The
browse feature associated with the server name prompt cannot locate Virtual SSAS named or default
instances. Instead, enter the name of the Virtual SSAS instance as the server name.
Surface Area Configuration tool
To use the Surface Area Configuration tool with a Virtual SSAS instance, you will need to connect to
the Virtual SSAS instead of to the server on which you are running the tool.
To connect to the Virtual SSAS, open the Surface Area Configuration Tool and, at the Configure
Surface Area for localhost heading, click changecomputer.
On the Select Computer dialog, click Remote computer and specify the IP address of the Virtual SSAS.
The SQL Server Surface Area Configuration window now specifies the Virtual SSAS instead of the
localhost and you can use the tool to manage SSAS instances associated with the Virtual SSAS.
