HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Administrator's guide (March 2008)

For more information on cluster support, see the HP Application Recovery Manager
software product announcements, software notes, and references and the online Help
index: “cluster”.
Sections below discuss supported ZDB cluster configurations.
Figures Figure 9 to Figure 12 illustrate Application Recovery Manager application
backup configurations and scenarios. For filesystem and disk image backup, only
the ZDB Agent is needed; an application database and binaries are not installed as
presented in the figures. The VSS component is needed on Windows only if you want
to perform a backup through VSS.
NOTE:
For applications in a cluster, use a floating IP address rather than a static one. This allows
a successful backup to start even after a local failover.
Client on the application system in a cluster, Cell Manager in a
cluster
Cell Manager is installed in a cluster on any system that is not a backup or application
system.
Scenarios
• Application failover during backup: session fails and must be restarted manually.
• Application failover before backup: session completes successfully.
• Cell Manager failover during backup: failed session is automatically restarted,
provided the option Restart backup of all objects is set.
• Cell Manager failover before backup: session completes successfully.
Install:
• On the application system on all cluster nodes on local disks: application binaries,
Application Recovery Manager integration software component, Application
Recovery Manager ZDB agent.
• On the application system cluster shared disk: application database. Note that
this shared disk must be on a disk array.
• On any system cluster shared disk: Cell Manager.
• On the backup system on local disks: Application Recovery Manager integration
software component, Application Recovery Manager ZDB agent.
