Failover of Data Protector

If a failover of the cluster-aware Data Protector occurs during backup, all running and pending backup sessions fail. In the Data Protector GUI and in the backup specification, you can set one of the options that define automatic backup session restart at failover of Data Protector. See Figure 13-3 on page 622.

1.In the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context, expand the Backup Specifications item, and select the backup specification that you would like to modify.

2.In the Results Area, click Options.

3.Under the Backup Specification Options, click Advanced.

4.In the Backup Options window, click Clustering and select one of the Automatic session restart options.
