PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Microsoft SQL Server User Guide
Stagger Microsoft SQL Server discovery jobs in host scale-out environments
In a host scale-out environment with many Microsoft SQL Server hosts to register to PowerProtect Data Manager, consider the following method for staggering the Microsoft SQL Server discovery jobs.
Kick off the installer in smaller group of hosts
When you install the Microsoft application agent by script, kick off the installer in smaller groups of hosts. The discovery jobs will kick off after the agent installation. Distributing the installer in smaller groups helps to stagger the incoming discovery results to PowerProtect Data Manager.
