[chef] RE: Issues with SQL Server 2008 R2 Recipe

[Adam Edwards < >]

Gaurav, do you have a log from the Chef run? That would point to clues.
One issue I've seen with sql server is that it uses a lot of memory (it
will basically allocate as much memory as physical ram on your system for
performance reasons), and since knife-windows is executing over winrm, you
can run afoul of WinRM's memory restrictions. You could try setting
maxmemorypershellmb to something huge, say larger than physical ram on the
system.

Thanks.

Subject: [chef] Issues with SQL Server 2008 R2 Recipe


Guys,

I am using the latest version of SQL Server Cookbook i.e. 2.2 on the chef
community & the chef-client version is 11.12.4.

Issue:

Even after successful execution of the recipe & i don't get to see the SQL
Server Installed on the target box whereas IIS got installed flawlessly.

I am using the knife windows plugin for bootstrapping.

Target Box OS - Win 2008 R2 64-Bit.


Anybody faced similar issue or can advise what's wrong here?


Regards,
Gaurav Vinayak
