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 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 or add credentials to SQL Server instances or replicas.
You may omit credentials at this time. The instance is marked as unregistered and the Registered column is empty.
- Click Finish.
