two tier installation with SQL server listening on non-default port

Hi guys,

I am deploying VCM 5.7.1 and have installed an SQL server 2012 instance in my database server listening on TCP 1434. On my web and collector server, I run the setup and when prompted to specify the database server and instance, I input servername for server and instance,1434 for database instance. I got a verification failure.

May I check with you guys if I am specifying in the correct format or it is a requirement that the database instance has to be listening on default port, 1433?

Thanks
