I have a new SCOM 2012 R2 installation on a Windows Server & SQL Sp1 2012 cluster. I'm logged in with the SCOM account and at the "Configure the operational database window" I add the new instance, specify the new database name, and upon clicking Next I get the following error:
Setup is unable to create database on SQL server instance ''. Please make sure the current user has permissions to create database on the SQL Server instance specified.
According to the SQL DBA the account has been granted SA rights on the instance which supposedly has login permission into the sql server including owner for master database. In spite of this I continue to get this error.
I've made sure that the SCOM account being used to create the database has local admin access on the SCOm and both sql nodes.
In addition I've confirmed my ability to access the SQL shares via UNC from the SCOM server:
\\sqlserver\data
\\sqlserver\log
I've also gone so far as to try installing the database using the IP address of the server. Per the firewall guy there are no rules restricting access to any of the nodes.
All servers are on the same domain.
All of the above produces the same error. So at this point I'm reaching out for assistance of a resolution to this annoying issue which is either a SQL issue or something I'm overlooking. Therefore any assistance is appreciated.
