Confirm no support for MSSQL 2008 before reverting to older EM version

Before I resort to installing EM Grid Control (11.1.0.1), I want to confirm that I have correctly read that EM12C does NOT support monitoring of MSSQL 2008. I understand that MSSQL 2008 R2 is certified with EM12C but, it appears that monitoring the original MSSQL 2008 is not.
Also, I'm a bit nervous about using EM Grid Control since it appears to have been a one-and-only version. Would I be smarter to go back to one of the EM10 versions?
This will be a new install, not an upgrade, so I hate to start out with an outdated EM tool but, I have to be able to monitor MSSQL 2008.
TIA,
Jeri

I have received a response from MOS to my original SR which confirms that EM12C is not certified for monitoring MSSQL 2008. For those who may possibly be interested in clarification of other OS and/or MSSQL versions with various flavors of EM, I've included below the full SR response details:
"The 12cR1 and 12cR2 Cloud Control are only certified to monitor two versions of Microsoft SQL Server : 2005 and 2008 R2
The 12cR2 is certified with these 3 Windows OS versions : 7,2008 R2,2003 on 64-bit platform where as the 12cR2 is certified with 4 versions of Windows OS version: 7,2008 R2,2008,2003
The 11g Grid Control is certified to monitor 7 versions of Microsoft SQL Server (including 2008) : 2008 R2 Cluster,2008 R2,2008 Cluster,2008,2005 Cluster,2005,2000
Also 11g Grid Control certified with 4 versions of Windows platform : 7,2008,2003 R2,2003"
The analyst who provided this information was also kind enough to open another SR on my behalf which will hopefully yield the answer to my other question- whether deploying 11g Grid Control is the best option for my environment or whether one of the EM10 versions might be a better choice. Unless someone else here is interested in that answer too, I won't update this post further with that information.
Thanks, Jeri

  • Teaming support for MSSQL

    Our Network administrator has been told that there is no support for MSSQL as the database for Teaming on Linux. Only MySQL is supported.
    This is no customer support, it is denial of choice for mature, secure and manageable database for Teaming, which we chose over Sharepoint.

    Stu, Thanks for your posting and question. I have checked with one of my technical people and MS SQL is not supported on Linux so therefore, Teaming would need another database on the Linux server. However, you can point Teaming to another MS Server that is running MS SQL and that should work fine. There are more details about the requirements at Novell Doc: Kablink Teaming 2.1 Installation Guide - Teaming Server Requirements
    Let me know ifyou have any other questions,
    Thanks,

  • How to revert to older patch version on fresh system

    I have got fresh install Solaris 9 , 117171-07 how can i revert to older patch version.
    I need this for the purpose of testing, i cant find previous release DVD ? any help ?

    I don't think you can.
    You'll have to jumpstart it from an older distribution.
    If you have a support contract, sun should be able to give you the older iso's.

  • Oracle 10.2.0.3 support for Win 2008

    I'm trying to install oralce 10.2.0.1 and patch it to 10.2.0.3 on windows 2008 server.
    But when I try to launch the installer I get this error:
    Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occured. Please provide the following files to Oralce support:
    "Unknown"
    "Unknown"
    "Unknown"
    I checked the metalink site and it looks that 2008 AMD64b is supported but not sure if this is for 10r2 or 11.
    Is ora10gr2 supported on windows 2008?
    What could be the installation problem? How could I address it?
    Thanks a lot, Tom

    Think It's not certified, but
    for your installation issue look for Vista Certification and download Patch

    This at least helps you with the installation

  • BPC 7.5 SP4 Support for Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2

    The release notes for BPC 7.5M SP04 state that support has been added for both Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2.
    For SQL 2008 R2, there is nothing in the feature pack described as "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility Components" - which was a required piece for  BPC 7/7.5 on SQL 2008. Is the SQL 2008 version still a requirement, or does BPC 7.5 now not need the Backward Compatibility components?
    Also, the ReprotViewer executable that is packaged with BPC 7.5 is the one for SQL 2008- will that work when installing SQL 2008 R2?
    thanks,

    Hi,
    we have the same environment (BPC 7.5 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit and SQL Server 2008 R2 64bit).
    we are developping our application-set and for the moment we have no problem.

  • Windows 7 support for Xcelsius 2008

    Hi,
    This is to inform that Windows 7 is currently not supported on Xcelsius 2008 SP3.
    There are however discussions to be available in the next release.
    Best regards,
    Jenni Jacob

    Hi Jenni,
    It's working fine for me on Win7.
    You may want to use the XP Compatibilty mode (standard in Win7) or "install/run as administrator".

  • Wiki & blogs 10gr3 support for MSSQL

    I am deploying Webcenter 10gr3 wike and blogs on weblogic 10gr3. I am using Microsoft SQL as my database. The script included in the owc_wiki war file is for use on Oracle DB only.
    1 - Is there a script to create the schema on MSSQL
    OR
    2 - Is there a way to convert Oracle.sql script to be used on MSSQL
    thank you,
    Enzo

    I believe that non-Oracle databases are not supported for a WebCenter installation. [WebCenter 11g documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/install.1111/e12001/install.htm#CHDFJAHB] explicitly states that it requires an Oracle database, I was unable to find a similar document for 10g but I assume this requirement hasn't changed.

    I guess you must have seen this. But, just in case.
    [Creating a Valid Connection String Using TCP/IP|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191260.aspx]
    Also,
    SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client fully support both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). When Windows is configured with IPv6 SQL Server, components automatically recognize the existence of IPv6. No special SQL Server configuration is necessary.[Connecting Using IPv6|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345359.aspx]

  • CUCM and Unity LDAP Support for Server 2008 R2

    I am planning on upgrading our Primary DC from Server 2003 Standard to Server 2008 R2.  We current have 2 CUCM's version 7.1.5.31900-3 and 1 Cisco Unity version 7.0 (2).  Both reference LDAP and/or GC.  I need to know will everything break once I demote the 2003 DC.  I already have one 2008 R2 domain controller in place.  Also is the 2008 R2 domain functional level supported?

    Hi,
    The directory hierachy for a backup taken using windows server backup will be something like this:
    \WindowsImageBackup\<ServerName>\<Backup datetime>\<guid name>.vhd file along with some xml config files.
    The directory heirachy above suggests the backup was not taken using Windows Server Backup, at least directly, if it is taken using some software scripted over windows server backup, the .chm file may belong to that software.
    The .vhd file created by windows server backup is not mountable in readonly mode, it is mountable in readwrite mode only.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 which my iBook G4 does not support. How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox?

    A box showed up that said "this architecture does not support Firefox 4." Firefox was no longer available on my laptop. Leopard is my OS. (Highest it will go)

    Do you recall whether your iBook G4 could run Firefox 3.6? If so, you can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    If you were using 3.5 or earlier, finding it is a bit trickier.
    You probably want to backup your profile folder before uninstalling Firefox 4. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Backing up your information | How to | Firefox Help].
