4.1.0 HP Polyserve Matrix Server Release Notes (T5392-96068, October 2010)

DescriptionNumber
SQL instance cannot be joined to domain while the instance is virtualized
After a SQL instance is virtualized, it cannot be joined to the domain.
Workaround. Complete the following steps:
1. Log into the domain controller.
2. Open “Active directory users and computers.”
3. Ensure that the SQL Server account is configured as follows:
a. The “Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated” check box must not be selected.
b. The “service Account is trusted for delegation” check box must be selected.
4. Create a computer object in active directory for the virtual name of your Virtual SQL Server.
5. Select the “Trusted computer for delegation” check box for the server running an instance of
Microsoft SQL Server.
6. Download the setspn.exe utility from Microsoft and install it.
7. Create a registry SPN for SQL Server in active directory using the setspn command:
setspn -A MSSQLSvc/Host:port serviceaccount
For example:
C:\setspn>setspn -A MSSQLSvc/vsql2.px.ps.com 40006 Administrator
Registering ServicePrincipalNames for CN=Administrator,CN=Users,
DC=px,DC=ps,DC=com
MSSQLSvc/vsql2.px.ps.com:40006
Updated object
You can now join the SQL instance to the domain.

Registry changes can be lost when a Virtual SQL Server running on a backup node is placed in
maintenance mode
If a Virtual SQL Server is running on a backup node when it is placed in maintenance mode, the
virtual registry used by HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server will also be on the backup
node. Any changes made to the original registry on the primary node will not be updated to the
virtual registry and will be lost.
To avoid this problem, ensure that the Virtual SQL Server is running on the primary node before
placing the Virtual SQL Server into maintenance mode. The virtual registry will then be updated
appropriately.

If a SQL Server failover occurs while SQL Server Enterprise Manager is connected, the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) fails. Restart Enterprise Manager to continue operations.
