Microsoft Cluster Server Integration

 

Cell Manager on Microsoft Cluster Server

 

The Data Protector Cell Manager can be installed on the 32-bit Microsoft

 

Cluster Server. This enables an automatic migration of the Data

 

Protector services from one cluster node to another in case of failover.

Installation

See the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing

 

Guide for more information on how to install Data Protector cluster Cell

 

Manager.

 

After setup finishes, the Data Protector cluster cell has the following

 

systems automatically added:

 

• All cluster nodes

 

• All cluster virtual servers

 

Clients on Microsoft Cluster Server

 

Data Protector can back up a full cluster (local and shared disks) and

 

applications running in a cluster environment.

Installation

To back up a cluster-aware application the Data Protector client software

 

must be installed locally on all the cluster nodes. See the HP OpenView

 

Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide for information

 

on how to install a cluster-aware client.

Configuration

After the installation, virtual server hostname of the client must be

 

imported to the Data Protector cell. See the Figure 13-2 on page 619 and

 

the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing

 

Guide for instructions.

 

 

NOTE

If you want an application backup to be cluster-aware, that is, access it

 

through its virtual server, also this application integration module has to

 

be installed on each application preferred owners (nodes). Only this way

 

the Data Protector integration agents can start on cluster nodes where

 

the application currently resides.
