Proper way to configure HangFire

question
1

The documentation does not mention the purpose of some options, hence my question on how to properly configure Hangfire from the Startup class and avoid any duplicate code lines.
Have a look at the commented 3 lines, are they necessary?

Imports Hangfire
Imports Hangfire.SqlServer
Imports Microsoft.Owin
Imports Owin
<Assembly: OwinStartup(GetType(dk.Startup))> 
Namespace dk
    Public Class Startup
        Public Sub Configuration(app As IAppBuilder)
            Dim options = New BackgroundJobServerOptions() With { _
                         .Queues = New String() {"mailblastqueue", "verifymailqueue", "emailalertqueue"}, _
                         .ServerName = "MailBlastServer" _
                    }
            Dim StorageOptions = New SqlServerStorageOptions With {.InvisibilityTimeout = TimeSpan.FromHours(2)}
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseSqlServerStorage("myconnectionstring", StorageOptions)
            app.UseHangfireServer(options)
            app.UseHangfireDashboard()

            'What about the following commented lines? Are they necessary?
            'Dim jobStorage__1 = New Hangfire.SqlServer.SqlServerStorage("myconnectionstring")
            'JobStorage.Current = jobStorage__1
            'app.UseHangfireServer(options, jobStorage__1)

        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

You shouldn’t need the commented out lines, they are starting a whole separate hangfire server. The GlobalConfiguration line above takes care of those options globally so you don’t have to pass them directly into the first UseHangfireServer call.
