Failed to install HP SIM SP5

[Benedikt Geltenpoth]

Hi,

I try to install HP SIM SP 5 on a Proliant DL 380. Since I have to install 3 MSSQL Instances I have installed these instances before starting the HP SIM Setup. One of these Instances will be used for HP SIM.

When I started the HP SIM Setup and have to give the database access credentials, the setup recognizes the SQL Instances which I could select in the pulldown. When I continue, I receive a message "unable to getinformation from the specified database server" and the setup failed.

I used SQL MSDE 2000 SP4 and even SQL 2005 Express, with the same ressult.

Any Comments welcome...

Kind regards

Benedikt

Did you install SP4 on the different instancs?

Thanks for the answers:

OK...I understood that the MSSQL 2005 Express Edition is not supported.

I installed SP 4 for all instances, but it still doesn't worked with HP SIM.

However I'm using know the MSDE which was applied with HPSIM Setup and now it works.

Strange..but ....
