Enabling IPv6 support for the SQL Server Analysis Service

This is applicable only if SQL Server is configured in an IPv6 network environment.

The SQL Analysis Services server properties, IPv4 Support and IPv6 Support, determine which protocol is used by the Analysis Server. You must manually modify these properties to enable IPv6 support for Analysis Service.

These steps are required only if you have configured named SQL Server instances. Perform the following steps for each named SQL Server instance. Repeat these steps on all the cluster nodes that will host the SQL service group.

To enable IPv6 support for SQL Server Analysis Service

  1. Start the Analysis Service.
  2. Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the Analysis Server.
  3. In the Object Explorer pane, right-click the server to which you have connected and click Properties.
  4. On the General page, check the Show Advanced (All) Properties check box.
  5. Locate Network \ Listener \ IPV4Support property and in the Value field type 0.

    This means that IPv4 is disabled. Analysis Server does not listen on the IPv4 port, and clients will not be able to connect using IPv4.

  6. Locate Network \ Listener \ IPV6Support property and in the Value field type 2.

    This means that IPv6 is optional. The Analysis Server tries to listen on the IPv6 port, but will silently ignore errors and continue to start if IPv6 is not available.

  7. Click OK to save the changes.
  8. Stop the Analysis Service.
  9. Perform these steps for each named instance and on all the cluster nodes where SQL Server is installed.
