Clusters are a bit tricky, they require:
-> client resource for each node, local drives only.
-> client resource for the virtual host, with a few extras:
1) remote access for system/root/whatever on both nodes
2) backup command set to 'save -c VIRTUAL' etc
This is how I successfully backed up a virtual host on Windows MSCS. Note that
I don't specify 'ALL' anywhere; Though it probably can work, we've had
headaches with it here.
We also have a Veritas cluster on Solaris/sparc boxen. After watching the
behavior in how the filesystems failed over, we decided to set their backup as
if they were standalone (again, not using ALL). We understand the tradeoffs
involved in not using ALL here, and it has worked fine (I've personally done
recovers that were good).
Having the cluster be in active/passive mode also helps with a configuration
like this; The MSCS cluster is active/active (sort of) so we did the 'normal'
setup.
