Installing and upgrading cluster-aware plug-ins

Installing and upgrading cluster-aware plug‑ins

This section includes the following topics:

•
Prerequisites
•
Installing a cluster-aware plug-in
•
Upgrading a cluster-aware plug-in

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation procedure for a cluster-aware plug-in, verify that the following requirements are met:

•
Install NetVault Backup Server: Install the NetVault Backup Server software on the designated machine. The server must be a separate machine outside the cluster setup. For instructions on installing the server software, see the Quest NetVault Backup Installation Guide.
•
Install the NetVault Backup Client: Install the NetVault Backup Client software on the individual cluster nodes. For instructions on installing the client software, see the Quest NetVault Backup Installation Guide.
•
Add NetVault Backup Clients: Add the clients to the NetVault Backup Server. For information about adding a client, see Adding clients.
•
Copy the installation file: Copy the “.npk” installation file for the cluster-aware plug-in to the NetVault Backup Server.
The path to copy the file is <NetVault Backup home>\packages\standard on Windows and <NetVault Backup home>/packages/standard on Linux. You can also copy the installation files to subdirectories in the standard directory.
The installation file for the Plug‑in for FileSystem (for the Server operating system) is already available in the standard directory.

Installing a cluster-aware plug-in

In a cluster setup, the plug-in is installed by creating a virtual client on the NetVault Backup Server. All nodes in a cluster are grouped to form a virtual client. During the process, the plug-in is installed on the specified cluster nodes.

To install a cluster-aware plug-in:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients.
2
On the Manage Clients page, and click Add Virtual Client.
3
On the Virtual Client page, provide the following information:
•
In Virtual Client Name, type a name for the virtual client. The name must be unique. Spaces are not recognized in a virtual client name and are replaced with an underscore (“_”) character. The virtual client name cannot be changed once it is configured.
•
In Virtual Client Address, type the IP address of the cluster application.
•
In the Package list, select the installation file for the plug-in. This list includes all cluster-aware “.npk” files copied to the packages directory and its subdirectories The following table provides the filenames for the installation files. Here x-x- x-x represents the version, build, and platform numbers.

•
To add a cluster node to the virtual client, select the client node in the Available Clients table, and click the Add button to the left of the item. The selected client is moved to the Chosen Clients table.
•
To remove a cluster node from the virtual client, select the client node in the Chosen Clients table, and click the Remove button to the left of the item. The selected client is moved to the Available Clients table.
4
Click Create Virtual Client.
The NetVault Backup Server starts installing the plug-in on the selected cluster nodes. This process overwrites the standard version of the same plug-in installed on the cluster nodes. However, you can use the cluster-aware version to perform backups of the local non-shared data. When the installation completes, the virtual client is added to the NetVault Backup Clients table on the Manage Clients page.

Upgrading a cluster-aware plug-in

To upgrade a cluster-aware plug-in, the existing virtual client is removed and a new virtual client is created using the latest version of the plug-in.

To upgrade a cluster-aware plug-in:
1
Remove the virtual client that was created with the previous version of the plug-in. For more information about removing a virtual client, see Removing a virtual client.
2
Create a new virtual client using the upgraded version of the cluster-aware plug-in. For more information about installing the plug-in, see Installing and upgrading cluster-aware plug‑ins.
You must assign the old virtual client’s name to the new virtual client. If you change the name for the new virtual client, you cannot run the jobs that were defined for the old virtual client.
