Working with client clusters

About client cluster support

NetVault offers cluster-aware versions of various plug-ins that enable data protection for distributed data. These plug-ins require Cluster Support Licenses.

The cluster nodes are grouped into a Virtual Client on which the cluster-aware plug-in is installed. The backups and restores of cluster nodes are performed through the virtual client.

The following table lists the NetVault plug-ins that can be used in a cluster setup.

Quest NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem

This plug-in is shipped with the NetVault software and can be used to back up the shared file system data on the following platforms:

For more information about the supported cluster software versions, see the Quest NetVault Compatibility Guide. You can download this guide from https://support.quest.com/technical-documents.

A default installation of NetVault does not require licensing of its native Plug-in for FileSystem. However, to use this plug-in a cluster setup, a File System Cluster Support license is required.

Quest NetVault Plug-in for Exchange

This plug-in can be deployed in an Exchange Server Single Copy Cluster (SCC)/Failover Cluster or Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) setup to back up the distributed Exchange Server data. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for Exchange User’s Guide.

Quest NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V

This plug-in can be deployed in a Hyper-V failover cluster setup to back up cluster data through a virtual client. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V User’s Guide.

Quest NetVault Plug-in for Oracle

This plug-in can be used in Oracle's Real Application Clusters (RAC) setup to back up the distributed Oracle database. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for Oracle User’s Guide.

Quest NetVault Plug-in for SQL Server

This plug-in can be used in a SQL Server Failover Cluster setup to back up the distributed SQL Server database. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for SQL Server User’s Guide.

Quest NetVault Plug-in for MySQL

This plug-in can be used in a MySQL Server Failover Cluster setup on Linux platform to back up the distributed MySQL Server database. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for MySQL User’s Guide.

A virtual client is created when you install a cluster-aware plug-in. All nodes in a cluster are grouped to form a virtual client.

A virtual client is managed like any other NetVault Client. It can be browsed and added to client groups and policies, granted user access, and included in reports. The NetVault Server administers the creation and configuration of a virtual client. The cluster-aware version of the plug-in runs locally on the cluster nodes and the data is processed locally. A cluster node configured as a SmartClient sends data directly to the locally attached storage device.
