Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Cluster Server Integration

Known Issues

Pre-Installation Requirement of File Share Resource

File Share Dependencies

The <File Share> resource, where Data Protector has to be installed, must have the following

resources set among the <File Share> dependencies (as described in the HP OpenView Storage Data

Protector 5.5 Administrator’s Guide chapter Installing Data Protector on Microsoft Cluster Server):

• IP Address

• Network Name

• Physical Disk

Before installation, check the file share resource for the following dependencies:

File Share Permissions

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 gives only read access to everyone. Therefore, configuration file

“omni_info” cannot be created and installation directory “<File Share>\Config\ Server\install” is

empty. At this stage Data Protector needs:

1. To be uninstalled.

2. File share permissions to be fixed.

3. To be reinstalled.

Workaround: To avoid this problem before installing Data Protector in a MS Cluster, a Data Protector

cluster group containing the future DP folder as file share resource type needs to be created. Then all

operations to everyone (or at least the accounts that will write in this folder or subfolders) must be

granted.

It is planned to fix this problem in the future. Please check the latest patches.
