5.1 Configuring the SQL Database
Recovery Manger for SQL only supports Microsoft SQL Server database files and transaction
logs created on basic disks using the NTFS file system.
5.2 Configuring Recovery Manager
Use the following information to assist you with configuring the Recovery Manager.
5.2.1 Installation Location
By default, the Recovery Manager installation path is:
C:\Program Files\3PAR\VCDBA\SQL
5.2.2 Search Path
After installation, you can instantly issue Recovery Manager commands through the CLI from
any directory. Although the Recovery Manager executables are installed in a fixed location
specified during installation, the location is automatically added to the Windows environment
variable PATH.
5.2.3 Recovery Manager TCP/IP Port
By default, Recovery Manager for SQL uses port 9932 for cross-server communication. As long
as port 9932 is open and is not used by other processes, no extra port configuration is
necessary. However, if port 9932 is not available or is occupied by another system process, the
system administrator must change the Recovery Manager TCP/IP port.
To change the Recovery Manager TCP/IP port:
NOTE: 3PAR recommends that each database, as well as transaction log files, be
allocated to separate volumes. This configuration provides the greatest flexibility
when performing individual database backup and recovery, thus reducing the
exposure to conflicts between databases. The snapshot volume restore would
overwrite the other databases if there are two databases using the same volume.
