5.2.2 Running the SQL Server configuration script
1. Copy the script enable_remote_sql_access.js that is distributed with the product, to the
management server machine.
Details. The script configures the SQL Server instance to be accessible to Agent for vCloud. It
creates a new SQL Server account that Agent for vCloud will use, configures the instance to listen
to a static port, and configures Windows Firewall to allow connections through that port.
2. Run the script in the following format:
cscript enable_remote_sql_access.js <new-user-name> <new-password> [-p <port>]
Where:
<new-user-name> and <new-password> are the user name and password for the new
account.
-p <port> is an optional parameter that enables you to specify the port to use.
For example:
C:\>cscript enable_remote_sql_access.js User 123
If you do not specify the port, it will be chosen automatically. Examine the port number that was
chosen by the script:
Port 1433 is picked
Important. Remember the credentials and the port number. You will be asked for them when configuring
Agent for vCloud.
5.2.3 Integrating the management server with vCenter Server
1. On the machine where you installed the management server, click Acronis Backup on the
desktop.
