Additional prerequisites for a high-availability deployment

Before installing Plug‑in for SQL Server, check that the requirements are met:

•
Microsoft SQL Server Failover Clustering or AlwaysOn environment in place: You must have a properly configured environment.
•
Failover Clustering is only supported with SQL Server Standard and Enterprise Editions. For more information on installing Failover Clustering, see the Failover Clustering section of SQL Server 20xx Books Online.
•
AlwaysOn requires SQL Server 2012 and later and is supported on Windows 2008 R2 and later. For more information, see the applicable Microsoft documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510230(v=sql.120).aspx
•
For SQL Server 2012, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510230(v=sql.110).aspx
•
For SQL Server 2014, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510230(v=sql.120).aspx
•
Separate NetVault Backup Server machine: The machine that serves as the NetVault Backup Server must be configured and it must exist outside the SQL Server cluster. The machine must have network connectivity to the nodes (hosts) within the cluster.

Installing or upgrading the plug-in in a standalone environment

You can install or upgrade the plug-in on individual systems, one at a time. You can also deploy the plug-in to multiple machines by creating a deployment task from the WebUI to push the packages to the specified machines. You can use this method for both new and upgrade installations on Windows-based machines. After the packages are installed on the machines, the new machines are automatically added to the NetVault Backup Server.
