Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Cluster Server Integration

Client

The Data Protector client software cannot be push-installed to the nodes of a Microsoft Cluster Server.

Therefore, the client software must be locally installed.

The Data Protector client installation does not propagate to other cluster nodes. The installation

procedure requires client installations on every cluster node.

During installation, Data Protector will recognize the cluster and install the client in the cluster-aware

mode. The cluster integration component is selected by default.

The following figure shows the finished installation process with a message that the cluster node has

not been imported:

Figure 3. Successful Installation Status of Cluster Client

After installing the client software on all cluster nodes, the complete cluster can be imported with the

Client GUI and the Import Cluster feature.

If it is needed to change the user password after the installation, the following steps are required:

1. Set the cluster resources OBVS_VELOCIS and OBVS_MCRS offline.

2. Change on all cluster nodes the password of the Windows services “Data Protector Inet” and

“Data Protector CRS”.

3. Restart on all cluster nodes the Windows service “Data Protector Inet”.

4. Set the cluster resources OBVS_VELOCIS and OBVS_MCRS online again.
