5 Using the Recovery Manager GUI
Overview of the Recovery Manager GUI
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for SQL Server provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
for managing SQL servers.
The Recovery Manager GUI enables you to create, remove, mount, unmount, back up, or restore
a virtual copy of an individual database or an entire instance (that is, all databases within an
instance). In addition, the Recovery Manager GUI enables you to configure automatic email
notifications, schedule automatic creation and backup of virtual copies, view event messages, and
synchronize the backup repository.
NOTE: Only NetBIOS names should be used when specifying values for any server type such
as production server, backup server, mount server, target server, media server, master server.
The Recovery Manager GUI contains a menu bar, a node tree pane on the left, an informational
pane on the right, and a command log window.

Node Tree Pane
After you register the SQL server, the node tree pane displays the SQL server’s instances, databases,
virtual copies, and backup records as a nested tree. Servers configured in a non-cluster environment
are represented by blue icons; servers configured in a cluster environment are represented by
orange icons. For more information about registering SQL servers, see
“Registering the Server”
(page 35) .
NOTE: An Availability Group database is indicated by icon in the Node Tree Pane. For an
Availability Group database, Availability Group Database Name and its node are displayed in
the database detail pane. This information is also displayed in the detail pane for the Virtual Copies
and Backup Copies created for the Availability Group databases.
Informational Pane
When a tree node is selected, the informational pane displays detailed information about the node.
If the content exceeds the width of the pane, a scroll bar appears at the bottom of the pane. When
viewing information, to sort the content click the applicable table headings.
