Attempting to backup of passive node clustered server fails with these errors.
It is not recommended to backup a clustered server passive node with the normal NetVault client. Using the NetVault Cluster APM, add the NV Virtual Client to the cluster and backup the clustered nodes using the Virtual Client. This is the supported way to backup a cluster as it also ensures proper failover.
Please see our section on Installing and Configuring the Virtual Client in the NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide on page 257.
