If SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 2 or SQL Server 2016 is installed with a default instance, the port number is 1433. If SQL Server is installed with a named instance, by default it is configured with a dynamic port. To identify the port, do the following:
- In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the console pane, expand SQL Server Network Configuration, expand Protocols for , and then double-click TCP/IP.
- In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab, note the port value for IPAall.
If you plan on deploying the Operations Manager databases on a SQL Server configured with an Always On Availability Group or migrate after installation, do the following to identify the port:
- In Object Explorer, connect to a server instance that hosts any availability replica of the availability group whose listener you want to view. Click the server name to expand the server tree.
- Expand the Always On High Availability node and the Availability Groupsnode.
- Expand the node of the availability group, and expand the Availability Groups Listeners node.
- Right-click the listener that you want to view, and select the Propertiescommand. This opens the Availability Group Listener Properties dialog box.
