Install the Agent
24 Agent for Microsoft SQL Server Guide
■
In cluster environments, you may receive a Lost Connection error while
installing the Agent for Microsoft SQL Server. This occurs in primary and
stand-alone installations when you select the clustered SQL server instance
as the CA ARCserve Backup database. To avoid this error, copy the Agent for
CA ARCserve Backup database package to each cluster node and run setup
manually. For more information, see the CA ARCserve Backup
Administration Guide.
■
To protect SQL Server instances in a cluster-aware environment, you must
manually install the Agent for Microsoft SQL Server on all of the nodes in the
cluster-aware environment.
■
When installing the Agent for the CA ARCserve Backup database on other
nodes in a cluster-aware environment, you must run SQLAgentRmtInst.exe,
install and then run the Account Configuration Utility, DBAConfig.exe, after
installation to input the correct cluster node name and password so that the
Setup process can create ODBC communication.
Install the Agent
Ensure that you have confirmed the installation prerequisites and performed the
required pre-installation tasks. When you have completed these tasks and
gathered the required information, you are ready to begin the installation
process.
Note:
If you have multiple versions of Microsoft SQL Server installed on the
same machine, the version of SQLVDI.dll registered with the machine must be
from the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server. If it is not, backup operations will
fail for instances of the later versions.
Install the Agent in a Standard Microsoft SQL Server Environment
To install the Agent for Microsoft SQL Server in a standard Microsoft SQL Server
environment, follow the standard installation procedure for the system
components, agents, and options of CA ARCserve Backup. For the detailed steps
in this procedure, see the
Implementation Guide
.
During the installation procedure, after you select the Agent for Microsoft SQL
Server for installation, the Account Configuration dialog appears.
Enter the appropriate information for each instance of your standard Microsoft
Server:
■
Select either SQL Server or Windows Authentication.
■
Enter the user name and password of a Microsoft SQL Server user with
system administrator privileges for each Microsoft SQL Server instance for
which you have specified SQL Server authentication.
