Create an ODBC System DSN for Site Recovery Manager
You must provide Site Recovery Manager with a system database source name (DSN) for a 64-bit open
database connectivity (ODBC) connector. The ODBC connector allows Site Recovery Manager to connect to
the Site Recovery Manager database.
You can create the ODBC system DSN before you run the Site Recovery Manager installer by running
Odbcad32.exe, the 64-bit Windows ODBC Administrator tool.
Alternatively, you can create an ODBC system DSN by running the Windows ODBC Administrator tool
during the Site Recovery Manager installation process.
NOTE If you use the embedded Site Recovery Manager database, the Site Recovery Manager installer
creates the ODBC system DSN according to the information that you provide during installation. If you
uninstall the embedded database, the uninstaller does not remove the DSN for the embedded database. The
DSN remains available for use with a future reinstallation of Site Recovery Manager.
Prerequisites
You created the database instance to connect to Site Recovery Manager.
Procedure
1 Double-click the Odbcad32.exe file at C:\Windows\System32 to open the 64-bit ODBC Administrator tool.
IMPORTANT Do not confuse the 64-bit Windows ODBC Administrator tool with the 32-bit ODBC
Administrator tool located in C:\Windows\SysWoW64. Do not use the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool.
2 Click the System DSN tab and click Add.
3 Select the appropriate ODBC driver for your database software and click Finish.
Option Action
