Configuring default settings for a cluster-aware plug-in

To configure default settings for a cluster-aware plug-in:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Backup Job, and then click the Create New button next to the Selections list.
2
On the NetVault Selections page, double-click the virtual client node. In the list of plug-ins, select the cluster-aware plug-in, and in the Actions list, click Configure.
 
* 
NOTE: The default settings for a cluster-aware plug-in can only be set from the NetVault Selections page. For cluster-aware plug-ins, configuring these options from the Change Settings page is not supported.
3
In the Configure dialog box, set the required options. The configuration options for the cluster-aware version are the same as the standard version of the plug-in. For more information about these options, see the relevant plug-in user’s guide.
4
Click OK to save the settings.
These settings are stored on the NetVault Server in configuration files specific to the virtual client, and applied during backups and restores of shared data performed through the virtual client.

To modify a virtual client:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients.
2
In the list of NetVault Clients, select the target virtual client, and click Manage.

To modify the IP address for the cluster application, type the new address in Virtual Client Address.
•
To add a cluster node to the virtual client, select it 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 it 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.

Checking access to a virtual client

For a backup or restore job to complete successfully for a virtual client, at least one member client must be online and active. You can use the Check Access option to find out the accessibility status of the member clients.

To check the status of a virtual client:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients.
2
In the list of NetVault Clients, select the target virtual client, and click Manage.
3
On the Virtual Client page, click Check Access.
NetVault tries to connect to each member of the virtual client, and returns a message indicating the current accessibility status of the member clients.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
