NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V 10.5 - User Guide

Configuring settings for a standalone or clustered deployment

Before you start using the plug-in for backups and restores, you must configure the Working Directory. During backup, the plug-in uses this directory as the mount folder and loads the snapshot onto it. If you are configuring the directory for a Virtual Client, this directory applies to all clients managed by that Virtual Client. In addition, this Working Directory holds all the restored files during image-level restore and recovery. This path should be a directory on the Hyper‑V® Server on which the plug-in is installed.
If you are using a Windows Server® 2012 or 2012 R2 environment, an additional option, Show VMs being managed by a cluster, might be visible on the Plug‑in for Hyper‑V tab. This option is only available for a physical machine if the host is part of a Hyper-V Cluster.
1
In the Navigation Pane, click Create Backup Job, and click Create New next to the Selections list.
3
From the Actions list, select Configure.
4
On the Plug‑in for Hyper‑V tab, update the path for the Working Directory if the default — C:\HyperV_APM_Working_Dir — is not acceptable.
5
If the Show VMs being managed by a cluster option is available, select it only if the host is not managed by a Virtual Client.
6
If you are configuring a Virtual Client, click the Cluster Management tab, and enter the following information:
Cluster Domain: Enter the Windows® domain of the cluster.
Username: Enter the account name that has the permission and privileges required for administering the cluster and Hyper-V®; that is, a domain-administrator account.
Password: Enter the password associated with the user specified in the preceding field.

Enabling communication between hosts in clustered environment

cd <NetVaultBackupInstallDirectory>\util
The default installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\NetVault Backup\util or the corresponding directory under C:\Program Files.
nvclientaccess -client <clientName> -password <clientPassword>
where <clientName> is the name of the next physical client that was added to the Virtual Client and <clientPassword> is the same one that you specified when you added the client to the NetVault Backup Server.
For example, if you have three hosts, run nvclientaccess -client <clientName> password <clientPassword> on Host1 with <clientName> as Host2. Run nvclientaccess -client <clientName> password <clientPassword> again on Host1 with <clientName> as Host3.
