Dell PowerVault DP600 - Manual (Page 89)

89
• Run SQL Server by using the least-privileged user account.
• If SQL Server Reporting Services is installed on a remote SQL Server, DPM Setup will use
that Reporting Service. If SQL Server Reporting Services is not installed on the remote
computer running SQL Server, you must install and configure the service on the remote
computer running SQL Server before continuing with DPM Setup.
DPM Server Software Requirements
• Before you install DPM, you must install the following:
• Knowledge Base article 940349, "
Availability of a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
update rollup package for Windows Server 2003 to resolve some VSS snapshot issues "
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=99034).
• After installing Knowledge Base article 940349 and then restarting the DPM server and/or
the protected server, we recommend that you refresh the protection agents in DPM
Administration Console.
To refresh the agents, in the Management task area, click the Agents tab, select the
computer, and then in the Actions pane, click Refresh information. If you do not refresh
the protection agents, Error ID: 31008 might appear because DPM refreshes the
protection agents only every 30 minutes.
• Windows PowerShell 1.0 from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=87007 .
• Single Instance Storage (SIS) on Windows Server 2008 operating system (Pre-release
version).
For information about installing SIS on Windows Server 2008, see "Manually Install
Required Windows Components" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=10063).
• You can use an existing remote instance of SQL Server for your DPM database. If you
choose to use a remote instance of SQL Server, you must install sqlprep.msi.
Using a Remote Instance of SQL Server
• To use an instance of SQL Server on a remote computer, run sqlprep.msi, which is located
on the DPM product DVD in the DPM2007\msi\SQLprep folder.
• Verify that the user account you will be using to run the SQL Server service and the SQL
Server Agent service has read and execute permissions to the SQL Server installation
location.
• The remote instance of SQL Server cannot be on a computer that is running as a domain
controller.
Protected Computer Requirements
• Each computer that DPM 2007 protects must meet the protected computer requirements.
For information about all protected computer requirements, see Protected Computer
Requirements (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=100473).
