Additional Setup Tasks for Extended Configurations

If your configuration uses a shared storage device or you are using SIOS DataKeeper, you may choose a configuration that will be extended to a third (or more) server(s).

1. Configure two systems following the steps given in Installing and Configuring SQL Server with SIOS Protection Suite.

2. Switch your protected volumes to the third server.

3. Install the Microsoft SQL Server software on the local drive and the master database on the same shared/replicated volume as used by the other servers. This will permit you to extend the hierarchy and utilize SIOS Protection Suite’s cascading feature.
