Configuring SAN clients in a cluster
The SAN Client FT service is not a cluster application. To protect the SAN clients that are in a cluster, you must configure all of the SAN clients in the cluster correctly.
See Setting NetBackup configuration options by using the command line.
Table: Process to configure a SAN client in a cluster
Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Install the NetBackup client software on each failover node | See the NetBackup Installation Guide for UNIX and Windows: |
Step 2 | Configure the SAN client on each failover node | Ensure that the FT service is active on all of the failover nodes. See About configuring firewalls for SAN clients. |
Step 3 | Register the virtual node name with the EMM server | |
Step 4 | Configure the NetBackup local cache | On each SAN Client in the cluster, set the NetBackup LOCAL_CACHE option to NO. See About NetBackup SAN Client support for clustering. See Setting NetBackup configuration options by using the command line. Warning: Do not change the LOCAL_CACHE value on the FT media servers or the master server. |
