Opened: Oct 07, 2013

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Impact

The mssql monitor marks one pool member down that was considered up by the earlier software version.

Conditions

This occurs after upgrade from version 10.x.

Workaround

There is a Microsoft hotfix for SQL Server 2008 that resolves this issue. After applying SQL Server 2008 R2 SP4 to the server, encrypted communications function correctly. You can read more in the KB article that addresses the issue: 'FIX: You cannot connect to SQL Server by using JDBC Driver for SQL Server after you upgrade to JRE 6 update 29 or a later version' http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2653857.
