Question

File system agent is not visible


Badge +4

I have installed SQL server agent into windows server.

While installing the SQL server agent, File System core and File system are installed automatically.

After the installation, I couldn’t see the File system agent in the client.

All I could see is the SQL server agent.

But if I check the installed software, I can see the File system is installed.

Can someone tell me, how to make the file system to be visible in the Agent type.

@kiran if you right click on the client, you should see an option in there to “add or configure the FS agent”

@Gseibak I don’t see any option like that.

Hi @kiran ,

What do you see if you release license? Do you see same as below?

Hi @kiran 

 

Looks like “File system agent” was not explicitly selected during client install. Hence, it’s not visible.

 

You can “Create File System Agent” by right clicking on the client → All Tasks → Create File System Agent.

 

Thanks,

Hi @SparshGupta I don’t see create file system option in All Tasks.

I have attached the screenshot that I uploaded above.

Hi @kiran 

Which service pack is this? Do you have a support TR?

@kiran ,

You checked Licences as above?

@Sebastien Merluzzi I have VM backup configured for the server.

When I click on release client, instead of showing the licenses it says that it will prune other agent associated backups.

@kiran ,

That’s strange, it should have opened a box with SQL Server License.

Could it be that you do not have enough Licenses, have you checked?

Otherwise I would recommend you log a case with Support and we will check.

@Sebastien Merluzzi we do have enough license.

Let me log a case.

Thanks

@kiran ,

I have the same in my lab, but can see create File System Agent.

 

 

Do you have full permissions?
