Manually adding a SQL Server instance in the Applications utility
Newly discovered SQL Server instances on clients are automatically added to the NetBackup database. However, you may not want to wait for the discovery service to discover a new instance. In this case you can add an instance manually.
To manually add a SQL Server instance
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Applications > Microsoft SQL Server.
- Right-click All Instances and select New instance.
- Provide the Instance Name and Host.
For a SQL Server cluster or multi-NIC environment, add one entry to the Applications utility. For a cluster, the host name is the virtual name of the SQL Server cluster. You do not need to add each node in the cluster. For a multi-NIC environment, the host name is the private interface name of the SQL Server host or of the virtual SQL Server.
- Click Edit to provide credentials and register the instance.
You may omit credentials when you add a new instance to the NetBackup database. The instance is marked as unregistered and the Registered column in the right pane is empty. NetBackup cannot protect any instances that are not registered.
