All System Centre Stack on 1 Instance of SQL Server

Apologies : there does not appear to be a forum where this fits
I am in the process of doing a design for a client who wants the whole system centre stack installed but on one instance of a SQL 2012 Cluster.
I can find
SQL Server Requirements for System Center 2012 R2:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281933.aspx
which states "
For testing purposes only, one SQL Database Engine Services instance may be used for all components, but is not recommended in a production setting due to performance concerns."
however what I need is something to back this up and there does not appear to be anything available.
Can someone please point me in the right direction for something to back this up.
regards
Andy

Not only is it a truly bad idea but it is not possible.
You will find a lot of information on the subject here
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/sql-instances-and-system-center-2012-sysctr-sql-scom-sccm-scsm/
Example:
Components of System Center 2012 which uses SRS cannot share the reporting services instance. Components with SRS based reporting include: Operations Manager, Service Manager, Configuration Manager, Data Protection Manager.

Is it possible to have two or more virtual machines point to a shared instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 for systems administration?

Hello All,
I am the Systems Admin for a production box running SQL Server 2008 R2. I have been ask to do the following and and trying to figure out if it's even possible.
1. The Production Server is named ProductionA
2. Create 3 Administrator accounts on ProductionA each with access to the SQL Server instance on ProductionA. Use Standard SQL Server login for credentials. i.e. Username/Password and assign the role sysadmin.
3. Install 3 Virtual Machines on ProductionA each with Windows 2008 R2 64 bit operating system.
4. For each Virtual Machine, Install SQL Management Studio and write down the IP Address assigned to each VM.
5. Using Remote Desktop Connection, connect to each virtual machine to be able to manage the SQL Server.
Is this possible? And, why am i doing it? Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA. Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box
to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
Does this make any sense?
Any tips are greatly appreciated. The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
Thanks for your help.

Hello M,
Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
Resolution
Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
Import the universe from the designer.
Go to File->Parameters.
Edit Connection.
On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
Change the DSN to new DSN connection
Test the connection.
Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
Solution2:
I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
Resolution
To resolve,
check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
server\folder)
Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
If the path is not updated to the new path
Reboot the server

Adding instance to SQL Server 2008 R2 on SBS 2011 Standard

I need to add an instance to my SQL Server 2008 R2 that is part of Small Business Server 2011 Standard operating system. When I click on "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation" I get another pop up
window asking for SQL Server 2008 Installation Media. Where can I find this installation media?

Hi BruceR80,
According to your description, SQL Server installation center asks for SQL Server 2008 installation media and you don't know where to find it. This could happen when the temporary folder to which the installation file is extracted doesn't exist. You could
follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue.
1.In Microsoft Download Center, download the SQL Server 2008 installation file to your local drive and click the file, you will see that the file will be extracted to a temporary folder. Please make a note of what directory it is extracted to. For example,
it could be in c:\ followed by a folder name which will be a set of random letters and numbers "fd7667bgbb33gg2g".
2.Copy that temporary folder to your desktop and close the SQL Server Installation Center window.
3.Reopen SQL Server Installation Center. Click on the installation tab and install. When it asks for SQL Server 2008 installation media, browse to the instillation media folder(that temporary folder) which is copied to your desktop and continue the installation
process.
There are two similar articles for your reference:

Cannot uninstall instance of SQL Server 2014

Hello,
I have two instances of SQL Server 2014 installed and i want to uninstall them (and install SQL Server 2012 evaluation). I managed to uninstall the one instance. When i try to uninstall the second a message informs me that the operating system does not meet
the minimum requirements. I had the same proble when uninstalling SQL Server 2012 and i went to the setup file and changed the compatibility mode to Windows Vista. Is there something similar that i should do in the case of SQL Server 2014 or i should do something
totally different?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Problem with a JDBC Adapter when connect to Instance on SQL Server

Hi,
Currently I'm setting up a communication channel with the JDBC adapter to work on a SQL Server database. When I use a string without specifying the connection instance, the JDBC driver takes the default instance and connects to a database without problems.
jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; databaseName = IntegraSAP1
The problem is when I need to connect to another instance of it server.
jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; instanceName = SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
The JDBC driver, in short, send me the following error:
Cause Exception: 'Error when attempting
to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException:
Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException:
Can not establish connection:: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException:
The connection to the named instance has failed. Error:
java.net.UnknownHostException: .
I appreciate your help,
Regards,
Johnny

Not sure, might be port number is not required in case using instance. Give one more try with :
jdbc:sqlserver:/ /Server01\SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
A comment from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428.aspx
"SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 allow for the installation of multiple database instances per server. Each instance is identified by a specific name. To connect to a named instance of SQL Server, you can either specify the port number of the named instance (preferred), or you can specify the instance name as a JDBC URL property or a datasource property."

Exploring AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances in SQL Server 2014 Tecnet Labs

I like the Labs and have found them very usful. I have a problem with: Exploring AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances in SQL Server 2014. The lab starts but hangs on opening SQLONE and the Manual never loads. I have tried coming out and starting again but
get returned to the same failing session. I thought I would mention it here as the is no way to feedback a response as the appraisal only happens once the lab is completed, i.e. no apparent link on the lab site. The session ends when the HOL is reported

Install Multiple Instance of sql server

Hi guys,
I have one question. How can i install multiple instance in sql server ( I am using 180 days VHD to access sql server r2 standard edition). I am accessing sql server through Hyper-V Manager. Can anyone guide me please.
Regards,

Hello Jagan,
For each instance you have to run the SQL Server installer and assign a unique instance Name during Installation; for each instance the Installation procedure is the same.

Cannot Connect to Remote Named Instance of SQL Server

We have 3x instances of SQL Server 2012 installed on a single remote server - there's the default MSSQLSERVER instance, then \INSTANCE01 and \INSTANCE02. I can remotely connect to the default MSSQLSERVER instance through SSMS, but I cannot connect to
either of the additional named instances (\INSTANCE01 or \INSTANCE02).
For example, if I try to connect to "sql.domain.com", I can successfully access the default instance on the remote server. If I try to connect to "sql.domain.com\INSTANCE01", I get an error stating
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server".
HOWEVER - if I try to connect to "sql.domain.com\INSTANCE01, 49301" (where 49301 is the TCP Port for the TCP/IP Protocol for this SQL Server instance), I am able to successfully connect.
This leads me to think that there's a communication issue with the SQL Server Browser service running on the remote SQL Server and my workstation.
The following items have been verified:
SQL Server Browser is running on the remote SQL Server
Windows Firewall has been disabled on the SQL Server
TCP Ports 1433, 1434, 1954, and 49301 have been opened up on the remote destination's firewall
UDP Port 1434 has been opened up on the remote destination's firewall
Thoughts? Did I miss something?

Hi brgnewman,
Use computername\instancename to connect to the database engine. Please try again. I think the configuration is OK.

Connectivity issue with local instance of sql server

hi everbody,
well for the last couple of days i have almost taken my head out to get this issue resolved.
but still i am no where. i have already referred to so many tips available online but still can't fix the prob.
i am trying to connect a C# ( .net 2005) program to connect to the integrated sql server 2005 instance on my local computer.
i have got windows 7 home basic on my pc with .net frame work 2.0 sp2 and have also upgraded to sql server 2005 sp3 as per some online study.
i have also tried all these steps but still getting the error 40.
1. Check Whether the SQL Server is running or not.
Because the trial to connect to the stopped server may also cause this problem.
2. Check the name of the SQl Server.
For example, if we try to connect to SQL server using .NET application, for some SQL Server, the name of the server "localhost" works, but for some server, we may need to mention "(local)".
3. Check Whether the SQL Browser Service is running
4. Check Whether the TCP/IP is enabled for SQL Server Configuration
* Expand SQL Server Configuration Manager
* Enable TCP/IP
5. Firewall Settings
You may need to add the port of Sql server to the Firewall if it is other than the default port(1433).
Go to Control Panel | Windows Firewall | Change Settings | Exceptions | Add Port
6. Enable the Remote Connection
Goto SQL Server Management Studio.
Right Click on Server node
Click On Properties
Check the Allow Remote connections to Server Check Box
7. Enable Named Pipes
- Open the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" (under Configuration Tools)
- Expand the "SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration"
- Select the "Protocols for "
- Set the Named Pipes To Enabled
8. Create Exception of Sqlbrowser.exe
kindly provide me some help with your valuable suggestions.

Hi Mukesh Devrani,

Named Instance in SQL Server 2000

We recently switched to SQL Server 2000 and are now having some
problems. Our SQL Farm set up named instances so we could take
advantage of active/active clustering. In doing this, they set up 2
Named Instances, and therefore both cluster nodes are identically
configured. To avoid a single point of failure, we'd like to take
advantage of the active/active clustering when we call into the SQL
Server 2000 database and not have to specify the exact port of either
instance.
Based on some information from a colleuge that is familiar with
accessing SQL Server from the MicroSoft environment, we should be able
to specify server=servername\instance:1434. This in turn would
determine the correct port for one of the instances and the driver
should handle forwarding our request to that instance.
Does the WebLogic driver handle this? If so, does anyone know the
proper syntax for the connection string?

Hi. Our driver will only connect to a DBMS by being given it's
machine name and port. If there are two DBMSes on the one machine,
then they will be distinguished (only) by different port numbers.
Our driver will not automatically switch from one port to another.

Upgrading DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 fails (DPM Setup is unable to connect to the specific instance of SQL Server Reporting Service (ID: 33431)

The Background:

2. SQL database was upgraded to SQL 2012 SP1
Now I want to upgrade DPM 2012 SP1 CU3 to R2. It is throwing the following error. Any help would be appreciated.
