4.1.0 HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server administration guide (T5392-96074, October 2010)

• SQL Server and the SQL Agent can be configured to use either the Local System
account or a Domain account. However, certain SQL Server features are not
available if you use the Local System account. Consult the Microsoft documentation
for more information about these accounts and the features they support.
• Multiple instances per node are supported.
• A primary SQL instance and its backup SQL instances must have the same name.
For example, if you install a SQL 2008 instance called “instance1” on the primary
node, you will also need to install a SQL 2008 instance called “instance1” on
the backup node.
Supported number of SQL instances
HP PolyServe Software supports up to 50 SQL Server 2005/2008 instances per
node.
Installation considerations for SQL Server 2008
Installation prerequisites
The following software must be installed on the cluster nodes before installing SQL
Server instances:
• Windows Server 2008 R2/SP1, 64-bit
• Windows Installer 4.5
• .NET framework 3.5 (SP1)
• Windows PowerShell 1.0
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) must be enabled.
The PolyServe SQL Browser must be stopped during the instance installation to avoid
UDP port 1434 collision.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you run the SQL 2008 setup manually once per node. As soon
as all the prerequisites are installed on the node, you can cancel the setup without
first completing a SQL Server instance installation.
