Backup Neverfail Continuity Engine Clusters Using Passive Node Management Feature With Veritas NetBackup
Summary
This
article provides information on how to backup Neverfail Continuity Engine
clusters through Veritas NetBackup, using Passive Node Management
feature.
Enable Passive Node Management
Neverfail
Continuity Engine servers should be able to access Veritas NetBackup 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 Veritas
NetBackup must be
configured on each node, in
order to be able to connect to Veritas NetBackup Client when both in active or
passive role.
Configuration on the Engine cluster servers
On the
client servers, add to the "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"
the row <Master server's IP> <Master server's fqdn>.
On the Master server, add to the "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" the row <Pair server's IP> <Pair server's fqdn>.
Managing a Neverfail Engine Cluster
Deploy Backup Exec Remote Agent on
Neverfail Continuity Engine Cluster
Manage Neverfail Continuity Engine from
Veritas NetBackup Administration Console
