Installation with MS SQL as Remote Database

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have EP7.01, SRM7.0, MDM7.1, CE7.2, PI7.11, ECC6.0 EHP4 with MSSQL installed on same server.

Our Server Configuration is 64 GB Ram, 6 TB HD, (Windows 2008 R2). We are in process of configuring HyperV on the same server and migrate all the instance to VM(homogeneous system copy).

I am planning to install MSSQL on 1 VM and all other SAP instances (different VM for each instance)on other VMs.

Is it possible to install SAP instance with Remote Database and is there steps to be followed for SAP installation with Remote Database.

Regards

You have to specify the remote database server name when sapinst ask you about the database. This should do the trick.
