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

• An instance of SQL Server cannot be virtualized if the physical computer name
is changed after the SQL instance is installed and before the instance is virtualized.
To add a SQL instance to a Virtual SQL Server, select the Virtual SQL Server on the
PolyServe Management Console, right-click, and select Add Virtual SQL Instance.
Name: This field lists all of the SQL instances that are available for assignment to this
Virtual SQL Server. Select the appropriate SQL instance.
NOTE:
HP PolyServe Software uses the following rules to determine the SQL instances that
can be assigned to the Virtual SQL Server. The Name field does not include instances
that do not meet these requirements.
• The SQL instance must exist on all of the nodes providing network interfaces for
the Virtual SQL Server. (The instance must have the same name on all of the
nodes.)
• The SQL instance cannot be in use on any of the nodes as a primary for another
Virtual SQL Server.
• The SQL instance on the primary node cannot currently be a backup for another
Virtual SQL Server.
