Creating a new role for the SQL Safe Backup services ensures the high availability of the services during a failover.
The following instructions help you to configure the SQL Safe Backup services in its own cluster. Make sure you have an available disk in the cluster to store the temporary files used by the SQL Safe Backup services.
Log onto the active cluster node using an Administrator Account.
Launch the Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager.
Rename the role to a unique name (e.g. SQLSafeServices), then click OK.
Go to the Registry Replication tab. Click the Add button and enter SOFTWARE\Idera\SQLsafe\ into the Root Registry Key field, then click OK.
There is a bug in Windows 2012 where the Registry Replication tab is not available. If the tab is unavailable, use the PowerShell cmdlet to add the necessary setting. EXAMPLE: Add-ClusterCheckpoint -ResourceName "SQLsafe Management Service" -RegistryCheckpoint "SOFTWARE\Idera\SQLSafe\Management Service" -Cluster "[ClusterName]" |
On the window that appears, enter the cluster name that SQL Safe Management Service is associated to, then click OK.
Click OK on the Repository and Management Service Settings window.
