Installation considerations for SSAS 2008 instances
SSAS 2008 instances are installed through the SQL Server 2008 instance installation
procedure (see “Install SQL Server 2008 instances” on page 24). When you create
a template for the installation, select Analysis Services on the Template Features
Wizard screen. The SSAS instance will then be installed. SSAS instances can be
installed as part of a SQL Server instance installation, or you can install just the SSAS
instance.
Installation considerations for SQL Server 2005
Template file
The Multi-Node Installer creates an INI template file that is used in the installation.
This file should be saved in a location that provides read access for all nodes. The
installer encrypts passwords in the file using a HP PolyServe algorithm. HP
recommends that you use filesystem permissions to restrict access to template files.
IP network configuration
The SQL Server 2005 instance installation captures and stores the current IP network
configuration of the node on which it is installed. If you later need to change the
network configuration (for example, to remove a NIC or change its IP), it is necessary
to devirtualize the Virtual SQL Servers on the affected node, make the needed
changes, and then revirtualize the Virtual SQL Servers.
SQL Server 2005 SP2 required for Full Text Search
SQL Server 2005 SP2 is required if you will be using FTE. SP2 provides the NTLM
Security Support Provider (NTLMSSP) service, which is used by FTE. Because Windows
Server 2008 does not include the NTLMSSP service, FTE will fail if SP2 is not installed.
“Instance-Aware” and “Non-Instance-Aware” components
The SQL Server 2005 package includes both “Instance-Aware” and
“Non-Instance-Aware” components. The Instance-Aware components should be
