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.

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.
