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:

  1. In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the console pane, expand SQL Server Network Configuration, expand Protocols for , and then double-click TCP/IP.
  2. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. Expand the Always On High Availability node and the Availability Groupsnode.
  3. Expand the node of the availability group, and expand the Availability Groups Listeners node.
  4. Right-click the listener that you want to view, and select the Propertiescommand. This opens the Availability Group Listener Properties dialog box.
