About installing a database to a SQL Server instance
About installing a database to a SQL Server instance
The Symantec Critical System Protection installation lets you locally install an
MSDE evaluation database, and also lets you locally or remotely install an
evaluation or production database to an instance of SQL Server. All installations
allocate 100 MB for the database. MSDE and SQL Server automatically allocate
more space when it is needed.
If you elect to install a database to an instance of SQL Server, Symantec
recommends that you first install a new instance of SQL Server that conforms to
the installation requirements. You can install a database to an older, existing
instance, but the instance must be configured properly or your database
installation will fail. For example, if the authentication configuration is not set
to Mixed Mode, your installation will fail.
About SQL Server installation requirements
You can install the SQL Server on the same machine that you plan to install
Symantec Critical System Protection management server, or on a different
machine.
The management server supports the following versions of Microsoft SQL
Server:
■ Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard and Enterprise Editions with SP4
■ Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP1 (32-bit)
The following information applies to the SQL Server software.
When you install the instance of SQL Server, do the following:
■ Do not accept the default instance name. Use SCSP (the default when you
install Symantec Critical System Protection management server), or some
other name. Type the same name when installing Symantec Critical System
Protection management server.
A database named scspdb, the default, will be created in this instance when
you install Symantec Critical System Protection management server.
■ Set authentication configuration to Mixed Mode (Windows authentication
and SQL Server authentication).
■ Set the sa password when you set Mixed Mode authentication. You will type
this password when you install Symantec Critical System Protection
management server.
