Configuration

First, please check chapters Pre-Installation Requirement of File Share Resource and Post-Installation

Check of Resource Dependencies for known issues. Then, follow the instructions in the HP OpenView

Storage Data Protector 5.5 Installation and Licensing Guide.

The following figure shows the two-node cluster CLNODE2 with belonging resources. Please note that

“Disk E:” is destined to hold the shared Data Protector software and configuration. “Disk F:” and

“Disk G:” are optional disks for future use in the same cluster group.

Automatic Restart of Backups

If a failover of the cluster-aware Data Protector Cell Manager occurs during backup, all running and

pending backup sessions will fail. In the Data Protector GUI and in the backup specification, you can

set one of the options that define automatic backup session restart at failover of Data Protector.

Note: If the Cell Manager and another application are installed in the same cluster, its cluster critical

resources need to be configured in the same cluster package or group as the application being

backed up, in order to automatically restart failed backup sessions that failed due to a failover.

Otherwise, the failed backup sessions must be restarted manually.
