Abstract This white paper describes the steps necessary to implement the configuration and integration of a Cell Manager in a Cluster environment with Veritas Cluster Server. It covers Data Protector A.06.11 and Data Protector A.06.20 with Veritas Cluster Server 5.1 SP2 (VrtsSFHA 5.1 SP2 for Windows). Introduction This document introduces the configuration and integration of Data Protector with the Veritas Cluster Environment on Windows.

Veritas cluster configuration Veritas Cluster Server 5.1 SP2 is installed on all the nodes and the cluster resource groups should be up and running in the active node of the cluster. VCS service and resource groups After installing Veritas Cluster Server 5.1 SP2 on all the nodes of the cluster, configure a new VCS service for Data Protector and create all the following resources: • NIC — this has the MAC address of the public Ethernet where the Virtual IP resides.
PAGE 4
After getting the service name for all the resources of the Cell Manager, create the following generic resources for the Cell Manager: • DPCRS – this has the service name of the Data Protector CRS service. • DPRDS – this has the service name of the Data Protector RDS service. • DPINET – this has the service name of the Data Protector INET service. • DPUIPROXYD – this has the service name of the Data Protector UIPROXY service.
PAGE 5
Installing Data Protector on cluster nodes Unlike MSCS cluster, Data Protector does not recognize cluster availability during installation, so Data Protector is installed as a standalone Cell Manager in all the nodes of the cluster, and then manually integrated with Veritas Cluster Service Groups. Install the Data Protector Software as a standalone Cell Manager in all the nodes of the cluster in turn, with the Internal Database residing on the shared disk.

CellServer Virtual_NAME C:\Users\administrator.IPR>omnisv –start HP Data Protector services successfully started. 5. Manually import Virtual IS, and remove the physical IS server name of the node. Note: You can also importing a client as installation server and client through the Data Protector GUI. 6. Stop the Cell Manager services.
