  • Preinstallation Checklist for the SQL Server Agent and the MediaAgent

    Review agent specific guidelines to prepare for the installation, such as gathering the information that you must provide during the installation.

  • Installation Methods

    Select the installation method that is most appropriate for your environment.

Step 3: Configure Your Environment

  1. Open the CommCell Console.

  2. Configure a storage device.

  3. Configure the client for IntelliSnap.

  4. If you have not done so already, configure a storage policy.

    Note

    If you used a UNIX MediaAgent to perform the IntelliSnap backup:

    • Change the value of the Allow restore jobs to use alternative MediaAgent and Drive Pool to access required media on the Resource Manager tab of the Media Management Configuration dialog box to 1. For more information, see Media Management Configuration: Resource Manager.
