SQL Safe is comprised of multiple application components. Each component provides specific functionality in different areas of the product. These different areas of functionality have specific concerns when deploying in a clustered environment, as redundancy and high availability are an issue.
Before to install SQL Safe in a clustered environment, review the Clustering configuration considerations.
Review the following topics for installation and configuration instructions on a clustered SQL Server environment:
- Installing in a Windows Server 2003 clustered environment.
- Installing in a Windows Server 2008 clustered environment.
- Installing in a Windows Server 2012 clustered environment.
Install SQL Safe on all the cluster nodes you want to host your SQL Safe Management Service, whether active or inactive.
Keep in mind, the IDERA Dashboard does not provide support for clustered environments. For installation and configuration instructions, review Deploy the IDERA Dashboard in a clustered environment.
For new installations, choose at least the Management Service and Repository Database components.Upgrades, automatically choose the correct components for you. To make the repository database clustered, simply specify a clustered SQL Server to host the Repository database.
