About registering SQL Server instances and availability group replicas
All instances and availability group replicas that you want protected as part of a SQL Server Intelligent Policy must be registered with credentials. These credentials must have certain privileges.
See About credentials used with SQL Server Intelligent Policy.
Veritas recommends that you use the Applications utility in the NetBackup Administration Console to register instances or replicas (). If preferred, the NetBackup administrator can also authorize a DBA to register instances or replicas on a specific host.
Instances or replicas can be registered in one of the following ways:
Manually, for individual instances or replicas.
See Registering a SQL Server instance or availability replica.
Manually, by adding instances or replicas to an instance group.
See Registering instances or availability replicas with an instance group.
Automatically, by configuring an instance group to automatically register newly discovered instances or replicas.
See Registering instances or availability replicas automatically.
Manually, with the nbsqladm command.
The NetBackup administrator can authorize a DBA to use the nbsqladm command to register instances or replicas on a specific host.
See Authorizing a DBA to register instances or availability replicas with the nbsqladm command.
