No, the physical nodes are 1a and 1b, the cluster is vir1. The active node on the cluster was 1a, then it failed over so the active node was 1b. We then started getting the 71 error. We are only backing up the shared resource. If I go to client proterties on the master server, the client name is still 1a not. It did not change to 1b when it failed over. The policy and client are the cluster vir1. Everything references the cluster.
The client name set on the host is actually irrelevant - it's only used when you want to do a restore.
On your Windows cluster, you want to make sure that you have 3 backup policies - 1a, 1b, and vir1. The policies for 1a & 1b would back up just the OS - for example, C: and System_State:. You could likely combine those 2 into a single policy if the drive letters are the same between the systems. The vir1 policy would back up just the volumes that are floating between the hosts - for example, E: & F:. You have to make sure you don't try to back up the data volumes in the OS policy or you will get a status 71.
