Not sure the SQL installed and configured with default or customized instance name?

Hi Hanre,

How did you go with this problem ? i also face some difficulties in setting up new instance of HP SIM with SQL Server 2005 now.

Hello There,

I had similar issue while installing HPSIM 6.2 with SQL 2008 Express Edition. SQL Browser service was disabled in default install. Enabled and started and all worked fine.

Hi,
I am trying install and setup HP SIM on a windows 2008 R2 X64 bit (DL380G5)server. I have my database in a enterprise SQL server (2008 SQL server) in same domain, name of the database is hp_sim. I am able to connect to the database using DSN , but when i try install HP Sim and give the details i am getting all types of error like host not reachable, check the port, Database credentails are not correct , database doesn't exist. Did anyone came across this type of problem ? any inputs much appreciated.
Thanks

Check SQL network protocol TCP/IP with enabled status. Might be set named pipe protocol enabled too. Hope it's helps.

Hello,

Is that the screenshot as you tried to install the software? I would guess that you need to type your localhostname in the SQL server name fields.
