3 Select the R2 components you want to install, and follow the prompts on the screen to complete the
installation.
Installing Internet Information Services (IIS) using the Windows Server 2003 SP2 CD
This section is only required if you want to install Internet Information Server (IIS) on the same system
with
SQL Server 2005 . The IIS server is required for advanced SQL Server 2005 features such as Reporting
and Analysis Services. For SQL installation requirements, see www.msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/ms143506.aspx.
Configuring Networking for SQL Server 2005
This section provides information about configuring the network interface for connecting to the public
network.
NOTE: The node requires a unique public IP address. The public IP address should be registered with DNS.
If a DNS server is not available, then the IP address must be registered in the hosts file in the node.
For a single server running SQL Server 2005, it is recommended that at least two network interfaces are
used, and that the interfaces be teamed to provide additional redundancy for the database server.
For a SQL Server 2005 cluster, each node must contain at least two network interfaces: one for the cluster
interconnect (heartbeat), and one for client connections (public). It is recommended that a third
interface be added, which allows network interface teaming to be employed on the public network. NIC
Teaming is not supported on the heartbeat network.
Configuring NIC Teaming for Your Public Network Adapters
The network teaming drivers and utilities must be installed before completing these steps. These items
can be installed from the Dell Database Resource CD.
NOTE: TCP Offload Engine (TOE) functionality for TOE-capable NICs is not supported in this solution.
1 Identify the two network adapters that will be used for NIC teaming.
2 Connect an Ethernet cable from each selected network adapter to the public network switch.
3 If you have Broadcom NICs, go to step 4. If you have Intel NICs on node 1, configure NIC teaming
by performing the following steps:
a Right-click My Computer and select Manage .
b In the Computer Management window, click Device Manager .
c Expand Network adapters .
d Right-click the Intel NIC, which is identified for NIC teaming and click Properties .
e The Properties window appears.
f Click on the Teaming tab.
g Select Team with other Adapters and click New Team .
