Is it possible to have two SQL Server instances, one 2008 R2 and another 2012, to run on the same machine with both having filestream enabled?
I tried to setup this in local dev machine with express editions and I can get the services running. But when I try to read a filestream from the 2008 R2 instance, I get a ArgumentException
.
The path in both instance looks alright.
SQL Server 2008 R2
\\DEVMC\MSSQLSERVER\v1\TESTDB\dbo\coreFileStore\fileData\525F2031-8D8C-45FF-8386-E1DD5F11C960
SQL Server 2012
\\DEVMC\EXPRESS2012\v1\TESTDB12\dbo\coreFileStore\fileData\525F2031-8D8C-45FF-8386-E1DD5F11C960
Is there any magical setting which could make it work in both instances or is just simply not do-able?
