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 Backup Clients, select the target virtual client, and click Manage.
3
On the Virtual Client page, click Check Access.
NetVault Backup 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.

Determining the current real client

You can use the Current Real Client option to find out which machine is in control of the cluster application.

To determine the machine that is currently in control of the cluster application:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients.
2
In the list of NetVault Backup Clients, select the target virtual client, and click Manage.
3
On the Virtual Client page, click Current Real Client.
In the dialog that appears, the NetVault Backup name of the controlling node is displayed.
Click OK to close the dialog box.

Removing a virtual client

You can remove a virtual client if you no longer want to use the associated plug-in in a cluster setup. When you remove a virtual client, the cluster nodes added as NetVault Backup Clients are not removed from the server. However, it removes the ability of the plug-in to back up the cluster data.

To remove a virtual client:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients.
2
In the list of NetVault Backup Clients, select the target virtual client, and click Manage.
3
On the Virtual Client page, click Remove.
