6 Using the Recovery Manager GUI

Overview of the Recovery Manager GUI

HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for SQL Server provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for managing SQL servers.

The Recovery Manager GUI enables you to create, remove, mount, unmount, back up, and restore a virtual copy of an individual database or an entire instance (i.e., all databases within an instance). In addition, the Recovery Manager GUI enables you to configure automatic email notifications, schedule automatic creation and backup of virtual copies, view event messages, and sync the backup repository.

The Recovery Manager GUI contains a menu bar, a node tree pane on the left, an informational pane on the right, and a command log window.

Menu Bar

The menu bar consists of the following menu options:

•Console - allows you to exit the GUI.

•Actions - provides access to virtual copy functionality, including: create, email notification, mount, policies, register, remove, rescan, restore, refresh, remote copy, and unmount.

•Scheduled Tasks - provides access to the Task Manager.

•About - allows you to access event message descriptions and version information.

Node Tree Pane

After you register the SQL server, the node tree pane displays the SQL server’s instances, databases, virtual copies, and backup records as a nested tree. Servers configured in a non-cluster environment are represented by blue icons; servers configured in a cluster environment are represented by orange icons. For more information about registering SQL servers, see “Registering the Server” (page 27).

Informational Pane

When a tree node is selected, the informational pane displays detailed information about the node.

Opening the Recovery Manager GUI

To open the Recovery Manager GUI, double-click the 3PAR Recovery Manager for SQL Server icon on your desktop or, in the taskbar, click Start→All Programs→3PAR→Recovery Manager for SQL Server.

Closing the Recovery Manager GUI

To close the Recovery Manager GUI, either close the entire window or select Console→Exit.

Registering the Server

In order for the Recovery Manager GUI to manage your SQL servers, you must register the SQL Server instances.

To register a SQL instance:
