Thanks for the reply.

Will setting the client as curphyhost allow restores to be done through
the cluster name or the active node?

Quite simple question : the solution is ....

Define a Networker client for each cluster node "ServerA" and "ServerB".
Define the tape devices as rd=ServerA:\\.\Tapex and rd=ServerB:\\.\Tapex
Set ServerA's Storage Node Affinity as ServerA. (and for Clone/Recover
SN
Affinity too)
Set ServerB's Storage Node Affinity as ServerB. (and for Clone/Recover
SN
Affinity too)
So, ServerA will backup thru ServerA's drive and ServerB to ServerB's
drive.
-> All locally attached cluster nodes data backuped over FC.

Now, about your MSCS cluster resource group :
What you have to do is create a networker client for the cluster 
resource "Server" and define storage node affinity as "CURPHYHOST"
(current
physical host)
Doing so, backup will be written by local cluster member that holds the
cluster group : When Server is assigned to ServerA, ServerA will backup
data.
When moved to ServerB, ServerB will process data. -> FC Based backup.

If you set your SN Affinity as "ServerA,ServerB", when Server is on
"ServerB",
you have a LAN based backup as SN Affinity lists are sequentially
processed.

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?
