Installing the IDERA Dashboard and SQL Safe components

If you choose to install both the IDERA Dashboard and all SQL Safe components, then follow these steps:

...

  • If you want to use SQL Server authentication to connect your Management Service to the SQL Safe Repository Database, select this option and specify the respective SQL Sever login credentials.  
  • Specify the ports to be used for each service. If the Firewall is enabled, make sure it allows TCP traffic through these ports. By default, the following ports are used:
    • Idera Dashboard Core Services Port: 9292.
    • Idera Dashboard Web Application Service Port: 9290
    • Idera Dashboard Web Application Monitor Port:9094
    • Idera Dashboard Web Application SSL Port: 9291
    • Idera SQL Safe Rest services Port: 9998
  • Specify whether you want to install SQL Safe Extended Stored Procedures. The SQL Safe XSP extend the Backup Agent, allowing you to integrate SQL Safe backup operations with existing T-SQL scripts. If you want to install them, define the credentials that will be used to create SQL Safe Extended Stored Procedures. You can always deploy this feature at a later time. 
  • Determine your backup storage location. You can determine a specific location for each Backup Agent computer or specify an UNC path (\\server\share) to use a central location for all backups. Take into account that the Backup Agent service account should have read and write permissions to access the specified locations. 
  • Once you are ready to install, click Install. 
  • When the installation completes, click Finish.

Installing only the IDERA Dashboard

If you select to only install the IDERA Dashboard, provide the following information:

  • Specify the Destination Folder where you want to install the IDERA Dashboard. Click Next
  • Determine the name and location (SQL Server instance) of the Repository Database for the IDERA Dashboard. By default, the setup program uses the credentials of your Windows logon account to create this Database. If you want to use Microsoft SQL Server Authentication, select this option, then specify the login name and password for this account. Click Next
  • Specify the Service Account under which the IDERA Dashboard services will run. The "Log on as a service" right will be granted to this account. You can later log into the IDERA Dashboard to create additional users. Click Next.
  • Specify the ports to be used by IDERA Dashboard Services. If the Firewall is enabled, make sure it allows TCP traffic through these ports. By default, the following ports are used:
    • Idera Dashboard Core Services Port: 9292
    • Idera Dashboard Web Application Service Port: 9290
    • Idera Dashboard Web Application Monitor Port: 9094
    • Idera Dashboard Web Application SSL Port: 9291
  • When you are ready to install the IDERA Dashboard, click Install.

Installing only SQL Safe components

If you already have the IDERA Dashboard installed elsewhere and you only want to install the SQL Safe components, then follow these steps:

...

Note

Take into that you should have the latest version of the IDERA Dashboard to install SQL Safe components on it.

Installing only SQL Safe Backup Agent 

If you only want to install the SQL Safe Backup Agent on your SQL Server instance, then follow these steps:

  • Select SQL Safe Backup Agent only in your installation wizard. Click Next.
  • Specify the Destination Folder where it will be installed. 
  • Determine the service account to be used by the SQL Safe Backup Agent service. The "Log on as a service" will be granted to this account. 
  • Specify whether you want to install SQL Safe Extended Stored Procedures. The SQL Safe XSP extend the Backup Agent, allowing to integrate SQL Safe backup operations with existing T-SQL scripts. You can always deploy this at a later time. By default, the Extended Stored Procedures will be created using Windows credentials. If you want to use SQL Server authentication, select this option and specify the respective credentials. 
  • Once you are ready to install, click Install. 
  • When the installation completes, click Finish.
