SQL Server Configuration Requirements

One or more instances of supported Microsoft SQL Server is installed on each server. For supported SQL servers, see the CA ARCserve RHA Release Notes.

• Both servers must have the same SQL version, service packs and hot fixes installed
• Both servers must hold identical SQL server instances (default or named)
• (In the Active Directory environment) Both Master and Replica servers must reside in the same Active Directory forest and be members of the same domain or trusted domains
• Drive letters containing database files must be identical on both servers
• The full path to the default system database of each instance must be identical on both servers
• Verify that the port defined in the Network Configuration TCP/IP properties of the SQL instances is assigned statically and is identical on both Master and Replica
• When the SQL account is Network, make sure that you create a database login for the NT AUthority\Network Service account. See Microsoft documents for more details.
