Appendix E. Installing Upgrade Advisor

Servers: Database consolidation on Dell PowerEdge R810 servers
In this example, we walk through the steps to install and run the
SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade Advisor and save reports.
1. Insert the SQL Server 2008 R2 DVD. On the Planning screen,
click Install SQL Server Upgrade Advisor.
2. Click Next to begin the installation wizard, accept the licensing
terms, and click Next.
3. Click Next to accept the default Registration information, click
Next to accept the default installation path, and finally click
Next to begin the installation.
4. At the Completing the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade
Advisor screen, click Finish to exit the setup.
5. Start the Upgrade Advisor by selecting Start | All Programs |
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 November CTP | SQL Server
2008 R2 Upgrade Advisor.
6. Click the Launch Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard link.
7. Click Next on the Welcome screen.
8. On the SQL Server Components screen, by default the
Upgrade Advisor populates the server name field with the local
computer name. If you need to scan a remote server, type the
computer name or IP address of the SQL Server you want to
analyze and do one of the following:
 Click Detect to allow the Upgrade Advisor to scan the
components on the SQL Server instance you specified. (We
chose this option.)
 Select the components of the SQL Server instance you
would like the Upgrade Advisor to scan.
NOTE: If you are analyzing an instance of SQL Server
Reporting Services, you must install and run the SQL Server
2008 Upgrade Advisor software on the hardware where SQL
Server 2000 Reporting Services is running, because the
Upgrade Advisor cannot scan Reporting Services resources
across the network. Do not enter the SQL Server instance
name. The Upgrade Advisor will scan the server you specify
and check for multiple instances of SQL Server.
If you are scanning clustered components of SQL Server on
a failover cluster SQL Server instance, enter the failover
cluster instance name. If you are scanning non-clustered
components, such as the workstation tools, on a failover
cluster, enter the computer name of the specified node.
9. On the Connection Parameters screen, specify the
Authentication Type and credentials if necessary.
