HP Data Protector Configuring and integrating DP Cell Manager with Veritas Cluster Server on Windows

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. Make sure that the shared disk is mounted on the node while

installing the Cell Manager.

Here, the Internal Database is set as G:\DP, which is the shared disk mounted on the active node of the cluster.

As the Data Protector is installed as a standalone server, configure it with the Virtual IP as follows:

1. Access the Internal Database catalog cell name as Virtual IP:

C:\Users\administrator.IPR>omnidbutil -show_cell_name

Catalog database owner: "ipr001155.ipr.home.net"

C:\Users\administrator.IPR>omnidbutil -change_cell_name IPR001154.ipr.home.net

force

DONE!

2. Check the Catalog cell name of the Data Protector:

C:\Users\administrator.IPR>omnidbutil -show_cell_name

Catalog database owner: "ipr001154.ipr.home.net"

3. Import the Virtual Host as a Data Protector client:

C:\Users\administrator.IPR>omnicc -import_host ipr001154.ipr.home.net –virtual

Import host successful.

C:\Users\administrator.IPR>omnisv –stop

HP Data Protector services successfully stopped.

4. Manually change the client node registry entry of Cell Manager name:

Regpath:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\OpenView\OmniBackII\Site
