When mounting block snapshots or replications created by a policy containing a Microsoft SQL Server classification, it is possible to choose between various levels of mount.
Figure. Mount Wizard - Select Mount Level
Control Description
SAN Adds the snapshot or replication to a Host Group
Host Adds the snapshot or replication to a Host Group and confirms that it is available from the specified Host.
OS Adds the snapshot or replication to a Host Group and mounts it on the specified Host's operating system.
SQL Mount Adds the snapshot or replication to the Host Group(s) of a Microsoft SQL Server environment and attaches the database to an selected instance.

In case SQL Mount is selected, Protector will display the following additional wizard pages that allow application specific options to be configured:
