Before You Begin; Data Protector Sql Server Configuration File - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

Every SQL Server to be used with Data Protector must have the MS SQL
Integration component installed.
• Install SQL Server on the application system. Install user databases on the disk
array source volumes (system databases can be installed anywhere). If the system
databases are also installed on a disk array, they must reside on different source
volumes than user databases.
If SQL Server is installed on the backup system as well, its databases must reside
on source volumes different from the source volumes used for this integration.
Drive letters/mount points assigned to those volumes must also be different from
the drive letters/mount points assigned to the volumes used for this integration.

Before you begin

• Configure devices and media for use with Data Protector. See the online Help
index: "configuring devices" and "creating media pools" for instructions.
For ZDB to disk, configure a backup device (for example, a standalone file device),
as you will have to select it when configuring a backup specification. For
information on configuring standalone devices, see the online Help index:
"standalone devices".
• If you plan to use Integrated authentication to connect to an SQL Server instance,
you need to restart the Data Protector Inet service under a Windows domain
user account that has the appropriate SQL Server permissions for running backups
and restores. On Windows Server 2008, this is not required.
For information on changing the user account under which the Data Protector
Inet service is running, see the online Help index: "Inet, changing account".
• To test whether SQL Server and Cell Manager communicate properly, configure
and run a Data Protector filesystem ZDB and restore. See the online Help for
instructions.
