10. HP-PolyServe Utility for SQL - tools
• Instance Migration Tool
− Migrate user databases
− Migrate SQL logins
− Migrate Linked/remote servers
− Migrate SQL jobs
− SQL 2005 and SQL 2005
− 32bit and 64bit SQL 2005
• Instance Aliasing Tool
− Solves the ‘Default’ named instance issue
− Transparent to client applications – this is a key issue
− Allows consolidation of multiple ‘Default’ named instances onto
same server – no name clashes
• Clusterwide Deployment
