Manually add a SQL Server instance
Newly discovered SQL Server instances are automatically displayed. 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
- On the left, click Workloads > Microsoft SQL Server, then click the Instances tab.
- Click Add.
- Provide the Host name where the instance resides and the Instance name.
For a SQL Server 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.
For a failover cluster instance, enter the virtual name of the SQL Server cluster.
NetBackup enumerates the FCI under the physical node names and the cluster name.
- Click Next.
- Review the roles that have access to the instance. Click Add to give additional roles access to the instance.
- Click Manage credentials to add the credentials for this instance.
See Select a credential for a SQL Server instance or replica.
You may omit credentials at this time. The instance is marked as unregistered and the Registered column is empty.
- Click Finish.
