Hi Guys

Does IBM Bigfix support Server 2012 SQL SP3?
(out since november: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/321185?cm_mc_uid=32682276336214543314487&cm_mc_sid_50200000=1455543580)

Does anybody has any idea?

The doc’s I found:
http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/softwareReqsForProduct?deliverableId=631E46D045F911E5BB33E7199C786195&osPlatforms=Windows

Are they not up2date or… ?

Thanks!

Hi @BaiYunfei

Thanks for your answer.

What I mean is:
If our DBA’s upgrade our Database server with SQL SP3, will IBM BigFix still work?

It should. See the following:

As always, test in your test deployment first.

Hi @newmanjn

We have made the upgrade without any problems.

But please test it first in your test environment to be sure.

Good luck!

Thanks! I will. I just got through with a grueling situation trying to solve an SSL security issue with SQL Server 2012… the stupid thing will not accept wild card certificates, not without a bunch of manual work using regedit. But I finally got it working :slight_smile:

Hi, Is there anything which needs to be taken care if we are using DSA setup while SQL server upgrade, please suggest.

Hi @vk.khurava

We are not using DSA, so can’t help you on that… :slight_smile:

OK, what should be the best practices which needs to be implemented on Root Server during SQL server upgrade.

Hi

Our DBA did the upgrade, but we didn’t do anything regarding the Root server. But we have Remote Cluster SQL DB, so I guess they switched to the passive side during the upgrade of the active side and visa versa (but my knowledge of SQL is not that great…)
