MC/ServiceGuard Integration

 

 

NOTE

When backing up a virtual host, the object ownership will acquire the

 

ownership of the stationary host on which the cluster package is

 

running. Therefore, when a failover occurs, the same object backup is

 

showing a different ownership. To avoid this, set the ownership in the

 

backup specification to the virtual host.

 

Backing Up Local Disks

 

 

To back up cluster local disks, proceed as follows:

 

1.

Install and configure the Data Protector Disk Agent component on

 

 

each cluster node that has the local disk(s) you want to back up.

 

2.

Configure a backup specification for specific cluster node using the

 

 

physical node name and select which of its local disks you want to

 

 

back up.

 

Backing Up Shared Disks

 

To back up cluster shared disks, proceed as follows:

 

1.

Install (locally) and configure the Data Protector cluster client

 

 

software on all the cluster nodes. See the HP OpenView Storage Data

 

 

Protector Installation and Licensing Guide for instructions.

 

2.

Import cluster package to the Data Protector cell.

 

3.

Configure a backup specification and select the virtual host. Define

 

 

the shared disks you want to back up.

About Backing Up Database Applications

Information in this section is valid for backing up a database application running in the same cluster as the Cell Manager. The backup of the application fails if it runs on a different node than the Cell Manager. It is highly recommended to configure the application and the Cell Manager in the same package.
