  • 1.  Altiris 7.1 Beta not creating the SQL Server Database

    Posted Nov 05, 2010 11:51 AM

    I have tried a number of installations using both Express 2008 and 2008 R2 64 but the CMDB database never gets created.  Any ideas?

     

    Thanks!

    Windows Auth, or SQL?

    Do you see any authentication (or other) errors in your SQL log?

    No errors in the SQL logs.

     

    Thanks!

    Hm. So what errors DO you see? If you don't see any in the SQL logs, my guess is that it isn't able to find the DB server to try authenticating to it. What are you seeing in the SMP interface when the setup fails, and what shows up in the altiris log? Also, is app identity a windows user, and does it have appropriate rights on SQL?

    But I don't believe SQL 2008 R2 is supported. Or at least, I had issues with it until I stepped back to SQL 2008.

    Anybody else able to install with SQL Server 2008 R2 64?

     

    Also, what are the basic requiremtns for the install?  I've seen messages that say don't install .Net 3.5 SP 1, etc.

    Thanks in advance!!

    has the requirements. It's the same location where you downloaded the install files.

    Memory
    3 GB, DDR2.  (min) 4 GB or more, DDR2 (recommended)
    Disk
    18GB free SATA (min)
    20 GB free or more. 10,000 rpm SCSI (recommended)

    Software
    Operating System Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
    Latest updates of SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008
    In evaluation environment, you can do the following:
    ■ Use an Express Edition
    ■ Install SQL on either the 7.1 server or another computer
    SQL
    Internet Explorer 7.0 or above
    Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 or above

    -----------------------------

    So, SQL 2008 R2 is not explictly unsupported, but it's not listed as supported either.
