Installing Insight Management prerequisites
Complete the following configuration items before starting to install Insight Management.
Verifying the SQL Server clustered instance and determining port number in use
If you did not verify the clustered SQL Server instance that Insight Management will use, do so now by
moving the SQL Server application to its alternate node and then back to its current node.
Starting with the 6.0 release, Insight Management does not allow dynamic port numbers to be used
with database named instances. By default, named instances in SQL server 2008 R2 are configured
to use dynamic ports. If SQL Server is configured to use dynamic ports, this setting now must be
changed.
By default the unnamed database instance listens on port 1433. The SQL Browser uses port 1434.
Port 1433, port 1435, and incrementally higher are often good choices for named instance static
port numbers.
