Steps

If Oracle8 is installed on cluster nodes, HP recommends stopping Oracle8 database services on the cluster nodes.

Installation procedure

The cluster client setup is the same as for the Windows local client setup, except that the cluster Administrator account is required to perform the installation.

In addition to the Data Protector client components such as Disk Agents and Media Agents, install the Cluster Integration component, which is selected by default during the installation.

For information about how to locally install a Data Protector Windows client system, see the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide.

During the installation, Data Protector detects the cluster and prompts to specify the Cell Manager (cell) for the Data Protector cluster clients.

After the installation, verify that the Data Protector software has been properly installed.

To see the name of the cluster-aware client system, execute

# <Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnirsh <cluster_client_system> INFO_CLUS

If the output returns 0 “NONE”, Data Protector is not installed in the cluster-aware mode.

Import the virtual server hostname (a cluster client system) to the Data Protector cell.

Importing a Cluster Aware Client

When the installation is completed, you must import the virtual server (the hostname specified in the cluster package) to the Data Protector cell.

To import a specific cluster node or a virtual server, right click its cluster in the Scoping Pane and click Import Cluster Node or Import Cluster Virtual Server. Steps to import MC/Service Guard, Veritas, Tru64, and Novell NetWare Cluster Services are described below.

In the Context List, click Clients.

In the Scoping Pane, right-click Clients and click Import Client.

Type the hostname of the virtual server as specified in the application cluster package, or browse the network to select the virtual server (on Windows GUI only) you want to import.

Select the Virtual Host option to indicate that this is a cluster virtual server.

Click Finish to import the virtual server.

The Results Area displays the name of the imported cluster client.

Configuration of Data Protector Cell Manager on cluster

Prerequisites for Configuration

Before configuring Data Protector with Veritas Cluster, check the following:

The cluster must be installed and running.

Identify the Primary Cell Manager and the Secondary Cell Manager(s) systems.

Systems chosen to be the Primary Cell Manager and the Secondary Cell Manager(s) must have Veritas cluster installed, with recommended patches, and must be configured as members of the same cluster.

Data Protector Cell Manager, with recommended patches, and all other Data Protector Software components for the integrations you want to have in the cluster must be installed on the primary node and each of the Secondary nodes.
