Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Register the credentials for the availability replicas. | See Register a SQL Server instance with an existing credential. |
Step 2 | Review the mappings for the hosts in your environment. | Approve each valid auto-discovered mapping that NetBackup discovers in your environment. Perform this configuration in the properties on the primary server. |
Step 3 | Configure the mappings for distributed application restores. | For basic and advanced availability groups, map the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) name to each availability group node. If you have an availability group with an FCI, you must configure additional mappings. Configure these mappings in theDistributed application restore mapping host property on the primary server. See Configuring mappings for restores of a distributed applications, clusters, or virtual machines . |
