NetVault Plug-in for SQL Server 10.0.6 - User Guide

Introducing Dell™ NetVault™ Backup Plug-in for SQL Server® Planning your SQL Server deployment Installing and removing the plug-in Configuring the plug-in Backing up data Restoring data Troubleshooting

Installing the plug-in

1
Access the NetVault Configuration Wizard or Manage Clients page.
To access the NetVault Configuration Wizard page:
a
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration.
b
On the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Install Plugins.
To access the Manage Clients page:
b
On the Manage Clients page, select the machine that contains the SQL Server®, and click Manage.
c
On the View Client page, click the Install Plugin button ().
2
Click Choose Plug-in File, navigate to the location of the “.npk” installation file for the plug-in (on the installation CD or the directory to which the file was downloaded from the website).
3
Select the file entitled “sql-x-x-x-x.npk” (where xxxx represents the version number), and click Open.

Installing the plug-in in a high-availability environment

Installation of the plug-in in a high-availability environment is completed through the creation of a Virtual Client on the NetVault Backup Server. A Virtual Client is a group of nodes within the cluster. NetVault Backup Server views this group as a single client that is created to back up a single clustered resource (for example, a SQL Server Virtual Server). During the Virtual Client creation process, the plug-in is transferred from the NetVault Backup Server to selected nodes within a cluster and installed there.
As noted earlier, the Virtual Client creation process is not plug-in-specific, and you can find complete details in the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide. However, consider the following points during the Virtual Client creation process:
Assign a name to the Virtual Client: Dell strongly recommends that you use the Virtual Server network name (that is, the Fully Qualified Domain Name [FQDN]) assigned to the SQL Server® as the NetVault Backup Virtual Client name. When you browse a Virtual Client, NetVault Backup locates the node currently in control of the clustered application, and reveals the SQL Server Instance (for example, on the NetVault Backup Selections page). With a Virtual Client name set up as the SQL Server Virtual Server network name, you can recognize the SQL Server Instance for which the Virtual Client was created.
Only include relevant cluster nodes in the Virtual Client: Include only the hosts that are relevant to the SQL Server Virtual Server that is to be backed up and restored.
Using multiple SQL Server® Virtual Servers in the same cluster
Create a NetVault Backup Virtual Client for each SQL Server® Virtual Server. Each Virtual Server has its own network name and IP address, and it is displayed as a separate Virtual Client in NetVault Backup.
Create an individual NetVault Backup Virtual Client for each SQL Server Virtual Server: For each SQL Server Virtual Server in the cluster, create a separate Virtual Client. During the creation process, ensure that the following are included:
IP Address of the SQL Server Virtual Server: In the Virtual Client Address field of the Virtual Client page, enter the IP Address assigned to the appropriate SQL Server Virtual Server. For example, if you are creating the first of the two SQL Server Virtual Servers in a failover cluster, enter the IP address assigned to the first Virtual Server.
Give a name to the Virtual Client that corresponds to the network name of the SQL Server Virtual Server: Enter the network name associated with the SQL Server Virtual Server in the Virtual Client Name field.
Copy the “nvsqlserver.cfg” file before creating the next NetVault Backup Virtual Client: Because creating a new Virtual Client overwrites the configuration file, which includes the Logon Detail information, Dell recommends that you perform the following steps:
1
Store a copy of the first “nvsqlserver.cfg” file in a safe location.
You can find this file in: \\<NetVaultBackupInstallDirectory>\config
2
Create the next Virtual Client, store a copy of its “nvsqlserver.cfg” file in a safe location, and repeat this step for every new Virtual Client that you need to create.
3
When you have finished creating Virtual Clients, copy the information from the [Security-<instanceName>] and [ServerList:List] sections in each “nvsqlserver.cfg” file to the same sections in the “nvsqlserver.cfg” file on the primary node.

Licensing the plug-in

The plug-in supports backup and restore of shared data only. For a SQL Server® Failover Cluster or AlwaysOn environment, only a single license is needed — a clustered application license for the Virtual Client.

Removing the plug-in

2
On the Manage Clients page, select the applicable client, and click Manage.
3
In the Installed Software table on the View Client page, select Plug‑in for SQL Server, and click the Remove Plugin button ().
4
In the Confirm dialog box, click Remove.
