Installing the plug-in in a clustered deployment
Installation of the plug-in in a clustered environment is completed through the creation of a Virtual Client on the NetVault Backup Server. A Virtual Client is a group of nodes within the cluster. NetVault Backup Server views this group as a single client that is created to back up clustered VMs. During the Virtual Client creation process, the plug-in is transferred from the NetVault Backup Server to selected nodes within a cluster and installed there.
Creating a Virtual Client
The Virtual Client creation process is not plug-in-specific, and you can find complete details in the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide. However, consider the following point during the Virtual Client creation process:
Assign a name to the Virtual Client: Quest strongly recommends that you use the cluster network name — that is, the FQDN — assigned to Hyper‑V Cluster as the NetVault Backup Virtual Client name. When you browse a Virtual Client, NetVault Backup locates the node currently in control of the clustered application, and reveals the Hyper‑V Server — for example, on the NetVault Backup Selections page. With a Virtual Client name set up as the Hyper‑V Server network name, you can recognize the Hyper‑V Server for which the Virtual Client was created.
