Required node names for basic VSS operations
VSS operations require specific node name settings.
To process basic VSS operations,
you must have one target node and one agent node.
| Proxy node type | Node name | Where to specify |
|---|---|---|
| Target node | The Data Protection for Exchange ServerData Protection for SQL Server node name | Use the nodename option in the Data Protection for Exchange ServerData Protection for SQL Server options file (dsm.opt) |
| Agent node | The Local DSMAGENT Node name that must match the backup-archive client node name | Use the localdsmagentnode parameter in the Data Protection for Exchange ServerData Protection for SQL Server configuration file (tdpexc.cfg)(tdpsql.cfg) |
Note: For basic VSS operations,
the agent node and target node are on the same system.
