Connecting to an AlwaysOn failover cluster node

Before you can create and manage backups on an AlwaysOn failover cluster, you must connect to a node in the cluster to the SnapManager configuration.

Steps

  1. In the SnapManager for SQL Server window, select SnapManager for SQL Server.
  2. In the Actions pane, click Add Servers to be Managed

    The Add SQL Instance to manage dialog opens.

  3. Use the dialog to choose a node within the Availability Group and establish the type of authentication (Windows authentication or SQL authentication).

    Note that the type of authentication specified here is used for all instances of Microsoft SQL databases on the cluster, so all of the databases must use the same method.
