 Supported Windows OS versions;

• Window Server 2012 (Standard / Datacenter)
• Window Server 2012 R2 (Standard / Datacenter)

Optional (You can skip SQL server installation if you don’t required MSSQL cartridges);

• SQL Server is not mandatory but if you are planning to use MSSQL cartridges then you need to install SQL Server on windows node. Our MSSQL cartridge supports SQL 2008R2, SQL 2012 and SQL 2014 (x64 bit versions only) of any edition. You can install any one (SQL Server) of them or can install all, as per your requirements.

For each SQL server you have to provide different named instance. Below are the details;

1. Install MS SQL Server 2008 R2 with default instance MS SQL Server 2008 (Only Database Engine) and with mixed authentication. After successfully installation of SQL Server, please stop SQL Server (MS SQL SERVER 2008) Windows Service, then disable it. (The Window node installation script will check to see if this was setup correctly)

2. Install SQL Server 2012 with a simple named instance MS SQLSERVER2012 (Only database). After successfully installation of SQL Server, please stop SQL Server (MS SQL SERVER2012) Windows Service, then disable it. (The Window node installation script will check to see if this was setup correctly). Make sure you set it up with mixed authentication.

3. Install SQL Server 2014 with a simple named instance MS SQLSERVER2014 (Only database). After successfully installation of SQL Server, please stop SQL Server (MS SQL SERVER2014) Windows Service, then disable it. (The Window node installation script will check to see if this was setup correctly). Make sure you set it up with mixed authentication.

• Enable TCP/IP SQL Server Protocol from SQL Configuration manager to listen to All IPs

Important:

Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is enabled for SQL Server (any version) and that the port 1433 is set to for “IPAll” in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Register DNS on Linux Broker for Windows Node

Make sure the broker and windows node should resolves its DNS and IP. Follow to below steps for the same:

On Broker Server:

Use the following command to register the linux node on the broker dns server:

# oo-register-dns –with-node-hostname winnode

                –with-node-ip 192.168.1.213

                –domain openshift.example.com

                –dns-server broker.openshift.example.com

Please do the following entry in your Broker Server in /etc/hosts file

192.168.1.213                winnode.openshift.example.com

On Windows Node:

Please do the following entry in your Windows Node in c:windowssystem32driversetchosts file

192.168.1.211                broker.openshift.example.com

192.168.1.212                linode.openshift.example.com

Important:

Make sure the time of the VM is synced from the internet. Before proceeding with the Windows installation, you have to make sure your hosts resolve OK
