[Networker] Problems Backing up Windows Cluster
2008-07-22 04:19:31
Hi,
We have an issue with the way networker is backing up our Windows cluster
environment. We are backing up to networker 7.3.3 on Solaris 10. I've trawled
through docs and not found anything so hopefully someone can point me in the
right direction.
Our Windows cluster is set up in an active/active mode, single virtual node and
2 physical nodes. On the physical nodes only the local drives are backed up. On
the virtual node all other drives/shares are backed up. (I am a unix admin so
my knowledge of windows clusters is sketchy at best)
In order to get a good backup we have to move all cluster groups, which contain
our shared drives, onto the same physical node as the quorum. Even though we do
save with the 'save -c virtual' command on the virtual client backup we still
miss any drives that are not associated with the same physical node as the
quorum.
My question is - is this the way it is supposed to work? Does networker require
an active/passive cluster setup? We would like to load balance our cluster
across the physical nodes but this is holding us back.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerry
