I'm running 7.4.4.  For the sake of example let's say ServerA and
ServerB in a windows cluster.  The virtual name of the cluster is going
to be Server.  

 

The data I'm backing up will be at least a terabyte so I'm going to go
the storage node or dedicated storage node route.  I also want to create
drives dedicated to this cluster.  Both of these servers will be fiber
connected so they can see my EDL.  

 

I understand the difference between a storage node and a dedicated
storage node, and I know that I can't setup a drive dedicated to the
cluster using the virtual name of the cluster (Crap!!).   I can setup a
client for each node and backup the cluster drives through the active
client (yuck!).

 

My question is this, if I setup a client with the name of the cluster
(Server) and NOT give it a dedicated drive will my backups still run
over fiber?
