Service Pack 1 on SQL Server 2012

  • On a single VM, I have the following

    1) A default Instance of SQL Server 2012 (SP1 build number 11.0.3128.0) with database engine, SSAS, SSIS, DQS and MDS etc

    2) A named instance of SSAS for SSAS tabular mode

    3) A named instance of SSAS in SharePoint integrated mode for PowerPivot.

    1) After the initial installation of SQL Server 2012, I have installed the SP1 on default instance. So, all is good.

    2) Now, I want to install the sp1 on SSAS tabular mode instance ( I have couple of databases installed on this currently) and SP1 on SSAS in SharePoint integrated mode(Nothing on this instance).

    Can somebody please provide me a guide or steps or link as to how I can approach this. When I apply service pack, obviously I dont want to disturb my default instance because everything is good there. When I apply service pack on tabular mode, will it effect my existing databases? If yes, how should i approach it? Greatly appreciate if anybody can give me some pointers and I am under the gun to get this done.

  • I have never worked with SSAS, but as I recall when you install a Service Pack, there is a screen where you select which instances to upgrade. And since your default instance is already at SP1, it will not touch that instance.
