Veritas NetBackup™ for Enterprise Vault™ Agent Administrator's Guide

Configuring Enterprise Vault Agent to protect Enterprise Vault databases

You must configure the Enterprise Vault Agent to protect the Enterprise Vault databases, hosted by a WSFC clustered server. You must make some changes to all the nodes in the clustered environment, to configure the NetBackup Enterprise Vault Agent. The changes to the nodes ensure that the Enterprise Vault databases are protected when hosted by a WSFC clustered Microsoft SQL Server. The following section contains configuration information:

To configure the NetBackup Enterprise Vault Agent

  1. Select Start > Veritas NetBackup > Backup, Archive, and Restore.
  2. From the File menu, select NetBackup Client Properties.

    The NetBackup Client Properties dialog box is displayed. By default, the General tab is displayed.

  3. Enter the Virtual SQL server name as the client name in the Client name text box.
  4. A warning message is displayed.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click OK to exit the NetBackup Client Properties dialog box.

You must now add each node and the virtual cluster to the NetBackup client list. You can then configure the nodes and virtual SQL server for the Enterprise Vault - NetBackup Master Admin Console.

To add and configure the nodes and virtual SQL server

  1. On the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Host Properties.
  2. From the Actions menu, select Configure Client or click the Configure Client icon.
    Configure client icon

    The Choose Client dialog box is displayed.

  3. Click Browse and select the required computer and click OK.
  4. Click OK to exit the Choose Client dialog box.
  5. From the Host Properties list, select Clients. The available clients are displayed.
  6. Right-click the required client and select Properties. The Client Properties dialog box is displayed.

For each node and cluster, configure the logon account to be the Enterprise Vault Admin user.
