The Remote Agent is automatically installed on all the nodes in the cluster. If this installation of Backup Exec will be used to back up remote servers outside the cluster, install the Remote Agent on those remote servers as well.
To install Backup Exec with the CASO option on a Veritas Cluster Server
-
Install Backup Exec as an managed media server on all the nodes that you want to include in the cluster. All installations must target local drives. Use the same installation path for each node.
-
Install the Backup Exec Central Admin Server Option (CASO) on a computer that is included in the same domain as the cluster nodes.
The Central Admin Server Option can be installed on any of the cluster nodes or outside of the cluster.
-
If the managed media server contains locally attached drives, create a drive pool that contains all the locally attached storage devices on each node to use when failover occurs. This ensures that jobs can run on the storage devices attached to the failover nodes.
-
If the Backup Exec Central Admin Server Option is not installed, then install the Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Systems on the local drives of all the nodes in the cluster.
