Before you add a host and install the plug-ins packages, you must complete all the requirements.
- If you are using iSCSI, the iSCSI service must be running.
- You must have a user with local administrator privileges with local login permissions on the remote host.
- If you manage cluster nodes in SnapCenter, you must have a user with administrative privileges to all the nodes in the cluster.
- You must have a user with sysadmin permissions on the SQL Server.
SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server uses Microsoft VDI Framework, which requires sysadmin access.
Microsoft Support Article 2926557: SQL Server VDI backup and restore operations require Sysadmin privileges
- When installing a plug-in on a Windows host, if you specify a Run As account that is not built-in or if the Run As user belongs to a local workgroup user, you must disable UAC on the host.
- If SnapManager for Microsoft SQL Server is installed, you must have stopped or disabled the service and schedules.
If you plan to import backup or clone jobs into SnapCenter, do not uninstall SnapManager for Microsoft SQL Server.
- Data protection using SnapCenter requires a two-way trust relationship between the SnapCenter Server domain and the plug-in domain using the Microsoft Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in.
Although domain trusts, multidomain forests, and cross-domain trusts are supported, cross-forest domains are not.
