PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Microsoft SQL Server User Guide

Enable the Microsoft application agent after Internet Protocol change

PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 introduced support for IPv6. When you modify the configured Internet Protocols after updating to or installing PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 on the Microsoft SQL Server host, the Microsoft application agent must be enabled for backup and restore operations.

1. Decommission the Microsoft SQL Server host:
   1. Remove the assets from the protection policies. The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides details on how to remove assets from PowerProtect Data Manager.
   2. Delete the Microsoft SQL Server host according to Delete an asset source. This procedure unregisters the host from PowerProtect Data Manager and removes the host assets after all the asset copies have expired.
2. Make the network configuration changes on the Microsoft SQL Server host:
   1. Enable the IPv4 or IPv6 protocol in the network settings, and assign the required static address.
   2. To configure a pure IPv4 or pure IPv6 environment, disable the required protocol in the network settings.
3. Run the installation wizard and select the Change option to register the Microsoft SQL Server host with the same PowerProtect Data Manager server.
4. Add the required assets back into the protection policy.
