Install Data Protection for SQL Server from the package you downloaded. The setup wizard guides you through the process of installing Data Protection for SQL Server.

Before you begin

Before you install and configure Data Protection for SQL Server, verify that you satisfy the hardware and software requirements.

Extract the installation files from the package you downloaded from the IBM® download site.

About this task

Data Protection for SQL Server is available in both licensed and maintenance packages. The installation process differs between these two package types.

Licensed package: Includes a license enablement file that is only available from your software distribution channel, such as Passport Advantage®, and includes the initial General Availability release of a product or component.
Maintenance update (fix pack or interim fix package): Available from the maintenance delivery channel, and can sometimes be used to refresh the software distribution channel. Maintenance packages do not contain license enablement files and must be installed after a licensed package.
See the README.FTP file for information about how to install a fix pack or interim fix package. The README.FTP file is available in the same directory where the maintenance package is downloaded.

Procedure

Install Data Protection for SQL Server by using the setup wizard.
The wizard installs the product and any prerequisites such as the .NET Framework and Report Viewer.
1. Log on as an administrator.
2. Download the appropriate package file from one of the following websites:
  - For a first time installation or a new release go to Passport Advantage at: IBM Passport Advantage. Passport Advantage is the only website from which you can download a licensed package file.
  - For a maintenance fix, go to this FTP site and to the directory that contains the maintenance fix version that you require: Index of Data Protection for Microsoft™ SQL Server patch files .
3. If you download the package from one of the download sites, complete the following steps:
  - Verify that you have enough space to store the installation files when they are extracted from the product package.
  - Change to the directory where you placed the executable file.
    Important: In the next step, the files are extracted to the current directory. The path must contain no more than 128 characters. Be sure to extract the installation files to an empty directory. Do not extract the files to a directory that contains previously extracted files, or any other files.
  - Either double-click the executable file, or enter the following command on the command line to extract the installation files. The files are extracted to the current directory.
```
package_name.exe
```
    where package_name is like this example:
```
<VERSION>-TIV-TSMSQL-Win.exe
```
4. Follow the installation instructions that are displayed on the screen.
5. If prompted, restart your system before the installation is completed.
6. Click Finish.
  Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is shared among Data Protection for SQL Server, and IBM Storage® Protect Snapshot. If one of these products is installed in a location other than the default location, the setup wizard defaults to the existing installation directory. Use the same directory when you install any of these products on the same computer. The default base directory is c:\program files\tivoli.
If you are installing Data Protection for SQL Server in a Microsoft Windows™ Failover Clustering environment or Veritas Cluster server environment, repeat the installation procedure on all nodes of your cluster.
