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

DescriptionNumber
Multi-Node Installer does not support disabling startup mode for SQL Server 2008 service accounts
When the Disable option is selected as the startup mode for SQL Server 2008 service accounts,
the SQL Server installation fails.
Workaround. To disable the startup mode for specific service accounts, edit the following file:
C:\Programfiles\PolyServe\MatrixServer\lib\apache\docroot\mni_defaults\
SQL2008_base.xml
Locate the following RecordingChoice tag for the service:
<RecordingChoice name="Disable" value="Disable" description="Disable
Service" />
Change the value from “Disable” to “Disabled”. For example:
<RecordingChoice name="Disable" value="Disabled" description="Disabled
Service" />

SQL Server 2005 Full Text Search service is not started
After a SQL Server 2005 instance is virtualized, an Alert reports that the Full Text Search service
is not started. This message appears because the NTLM Security Support Provider (NTLMSSP)
service does not exist on Windows Server 2008, but is required by the SQL Server 2005 Full Text
Search service. This issue is documented in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936302
Workaround. Install SQL Server 2005 SP2, which HP PolyServe Software requires for virtualizing
SQL Server 2005 instances.

A user other than the creator cannot reuse/edit an installation template file
The Windows 2008 UAC feature prevents a user from reusing/editing a template file if the user
was not the creator of the file, even if the user belongs to the Administrators group. To allow the
user to manipulate the file, use one of these methods:
• Grant the currently logged-in user exclusive “full control” permission for the template file.
• Elevate the PolyServe Management Console (..\Program Files\PolyServe\Matrix-
Server\bin\mxconsole.exe) to run as “Administrator” on the node where the operation
is being performed. To do this, right-click the executable, go the Compatibility tab, and check
Always Run as Administrator.

SQL Server 2005 cannot be installed on systems with a multicore processor
On a computer with a multicore processor, if the ratio of logical processors to physical sockets is
not a power of 2, you cannot install SQL Server 2005. To avoid this issue, before installing SQL
Server 2005, use one of the workarounds described in the following Microsoft article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954835/en-us
MSDTC High Availability feature is not available
The MSDTC High Availability feature is not available in the HP PolyServe 4.1.0 release.

SQL instance cannot be virtualized if the directories of the SQL Instance are not in the same path.
SQL Instance directories such as Data, Log, Backup, and so on should be in the same path. For
example, if you are installing an instance TEST, the path for the above directories should be:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.TEST\MSSQL\Log
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.TEST\MSSQL\Backup
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.TEST\MSSQL\DATA
The SQL Instance cannot be virtualized if these directories have different paths.
