Configuring settings for a clustered deployment

If you are using a standalone deployment or a clustered deployment that is based on a version of Windows Server prior to 2012, the Configure option is visible but not accessible in the Actions list; no configuration is required.

If you are using a Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, or 2016 environment, an extra 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.
2
In the selection tree, open the applicable client node, and select Plug‑in for Hyper‑V.
3
From the Actions list, select Configure.
4
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.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Quest recommends that you use Virtual Clients to manage clustered hosts and that you do not enable this option.
5
To configure a Virtual Client, 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.
6
To save the settings, click OK.

Enabling communication between VMs in clustered environment

If you are using NetVault Backup Client software 10.0.5 or earlier, after installing and configuring a NetVault Backup Virtual Client, ensure that the Virtual Client can manage all hosts included in a cluster. Also ensure that each host can access any other host included in the cluster.

 
* 
TIP: For clusters with many hosts, you can create a script file that contains all the following commands. You can then run the script on each host.
1
From a command prompt on the first host included in the cluster, type:
cd <NetVaultBackupInstallDirectory>\util
The default installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\NetVault Backup\util or the corresponding directory under C:\Program Files.
2
For each host that was added to the Virtual Client, type:
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.
3
Repeat these steps for every host included in the cluster.
