Backup Neverfail Continuity Engine Clusters Using Passive Node Management Feature With Quest NetVault Backup
Summary
This
article provides information on how to backup Neverfail Continuity Engine
clusters through Quest NetVault Backup, using Passive Node
Management feature.
Enable Passive Node Management
Neverfail
Continuity Engine servers should be able to access Quest NetVault Backup in
order to be managed remotely from there.
- On the active server this can be achieved through the Public IP
address or through a Management IP Address.
- On the passive server, this can be achieved only through a Management Name and IP Address.
Thus, a Management Name and IP Address with access to Quest NetVault Backup must be
configured on each
node, in order to be able to connect to Quest NetVault Backup
Client when both in active or passive role.
Managing a Neverfail Engine Cluster
Deploy Quest NetVault Backup Client on
Neverfail Continuity Engine Cluster
Quest
NetVault Backup Client is a software that should be installed on the
managed-to-be servers. This client connects to the Quest NetVault Backup providing
information related to inventory, etc., as well as means of remote backup
job, restore.
Here,
Quest NetVault Backup client was installed manually on each server, giving the
Machine Name which will be used for managing the servers through Quest NetVault
Backup.
Manage Neverfail Continuity Engine from
Veritas NetBackup Administration Console
From Menu, go to Manage Clients and press Add Client.
