I’ve been struggling with the TechNet/MSDN documentation on adding PowerPivot servers for scale-out implementation.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2dbddcc7-427a-4537-a8e2-56d99b9d967d
My test farm consists of 2 web front end servers and 2 application servers. I wanted to install PowerPivot on the 2 application servers for load balancing so I installed the PowerPivot/SSAS instance on both. I ran the PowerPivot configuration tool on one
of the web front end servers and added the 2 application servers for my PowerPivot servers. TechNet/MSDN talks about configuring the second instance by running the PowerPivot configuration tool when adding another PowerPivot server. However, I no longer see
any options on any of the servers when I run the PowerPivot configuration tool. When I check the services running on the servers, only one server is running the SQL Server PowerPivot System Service. I do see that both PowerPivot/SSAS instances have the PowerPivot
database.
How do I configure the other application server to run the SQL Server PowerPivot System Service for load balancing?
Thanks.
