Minimalist Database ION Enterprise 6.0 SP1 + Win2008R2/Win2008x64 + SQL2008 R2
Introduction
This article describes how to do a new install of an ION Enterprise 6.0 SP1 system that requires a minimalist database
server, that is, the ION Enterprise 6.0 Database Setup Installer is not run on the database server. The minimalist
database approach is typically used to install ION Enterprise on a pre-existing database server where the customer is
highly concerned about maintaining server integrity. If the database server is not pre-existing and a new SQL Server
installation is required, it is recommended to use the regular install method described in
Win2008R2_SQL2008R2_Standard_64bit_Distributed_DB.doc.
This document describes the installation procedure of a new ION Enterprise 6 SP1 system with the following
parameters:
Server Topology - Distributed system with a database server housing the ION database and an application server
housing the ION Enterprise application and Reporting Services.
Operation Systems (assumed to be already installed):
- Windows 2008 Server R2 or
- Windows 2008 Server 64bit
SQL Server Version - SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard (already installed on the database server)
Distributing the database functions to a separate SQL DB Server is beneficial when:
A SQL Server Database Server already exists and is available
There is a requirement to have IIS and SQL Server on separate servers
The ION Enterprise system will have many devices connected to it
There may be several people using the ION Enterprise system at the same time and performance is important.
(Dedicated server resources for SQL Server database functions is a powerful way to maximize ION Enterprise
performance).
NOTE: This procedure is only meant for those familiar with both ION Enterprise and SQL Server. It makes use of several
script/batch files that are included in .zip form as an attachment to this article.
