Is the client windows as well?

In general, I think the answer is yes for unix clients and no for
windows clients.

On machines I've dealt with, the unix client requres that you run a
cluster installation script.  The 'save' binary looks for it and uses
that information to understand the cluster split.  It also uses it to
notify the server that it's doing a cluster backup and needs a license.
No setup, it's just a normal machine.

The windows client seemed to auto-detect MSCS directly.  We'd have a
group install the cluster software on a machine without telling us, and
it grabbed a cluster license.
