Upgrading an existing Backup Exec 9.x or 10.x cluster and adding DLO to the cluster

Follow these steps to upgrade an existing Backup Exec 9.x or 10.x cluster and add DLO to the cluster.

To upgrade an existing Backup Exec 9.x or 10.x cluster and add DLO to the cluster

  1. Install Backup Exec on the active Backup Exec cluster node. Do not select the DLO option.

  2. Install Backup Exec on each failover node. Do not select the DLO option.

    Install Backup Exec when the node has access to the shared Backup Exec cluster disk.

  3. Use the Cluster Configuration Wizard on the active Backup Exec cluster node to uncluster all nodes. Click No when you are prompted to remove data on the shared drive. Click Yes when you are prompted to make the data available to the local node.

  4. Install DLO on all cluster nodes. All nodes must have DLO before you can recluster them.

  5. From the server you used in step 3, use the Cluster Configuration Wizard to reconfigure cluster-aware Backup Exec with the same virtual server name.

  6. Add all cluster nodes that were upgraded.

    The DLO services are added to the Cluster Administrator.
