recommend to retain their factory names. If you do rename an FSM, you
must also rename the SQL Server that it hosts. See the description of the
changename utility in the

Reconfigure FSM Settings

section of the Media

Area Network Instruction Manual.

• For DNP machines, whether running on Windows 2000 or Windows XP

Professional, use the Win2K version of the same CVFS build used by the
FSM and Profile. Use the same settings on all CVFS clients, with one
exception: Configure DNP clients (NewsEdit, NewsQ and FeedClip) to be
File Name Case Insensitive with Preserve Case. Do not change the settings
on the FSMs or Profiles from the normal case-sensitive values specified in
the Media Area Network Instruction Manual. Notwithstanding this
exception to the DNP guide, generally, if the CVFS configuration
specifications for the Open SAN system conflict with this installation guide,
follow the more recent specifications.

• SDNP requires that all SQL Server instances in its products be updated to

Service Pack 3. These include the SQL Server Standard Edition found on
FSMs, DSMs, and NewsBrowse servers, as well as the SQL Server MSDE
found on NewsEdit, NewsQ, and FeedClip. DNP installer programs will
insist before proceeding that any downlevel version of SQL Server be
upgraded to SP3 or higher. If necessary, follow the

Revised SQL Server

Installation and Update Procedures

document for SP3 upgrades. Note that

the Standard and MSDE editions are decidely different, and that each must
be upgraded only by its indicated service pack. DNP has been increasingly
able to embed the MSDE installation and upgrade in DNP’s main installers;
thus, explicit upgrades to SP3 starting with version 5.0 products are usually
unnecessary.
