Installing NetBackup on PowerHA cluster for AIX
This topic describes how to install NetBackup Enterprise Server as a failover application on PowerHA cluster.
The following procedure describes how to install a NetBackup failover server in an PowerHA cluster.
Note:
You can ignore the following type of warning message from the cluster configuration script. These messages are generated during the verification and synchronization whenever there are multiple addresses on a network interface.
Warning:
There may be an insufficient number of communication interfaces that are defined on node: blazer, network: net_ether_01. Multiple communication interfaces are recommended for networks intending to use IP aliasing.
To install NetBackup on PowerHA cluster for AIX
- Fill out the checklist for all configurations and the checklist for your specific environment.
- The volume group of the pre-existing file system that NetBackup uses must be varied-on, on the node from which you want to start clustered installation of NetBackup. If the volume group is not varied-on, the installer may not detect it as a shareable file system. Use the following command to vary-on the volume group:
varyonvg <volume group name>
- Follow the instructions for how to install NetBackup in the NetBackup Installation Guide.
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC5332
Be sure that you:
Install NetBackup on each node to which it can failover.
Use the virtual name for the NetBackup server name.
Caution:
When you are prompted, you must provide the same virtual cluster name that you provided during the installation. This name is case-sensitive and must be in same format (FQDN/short) on all the nodes..
- When NetBackup is installed on the clustered setup a confirmation prompt is displayed.
When you install NetBackup on the first node, you are prompted to confirm creation of a NetBackup cluster. Type Y to set up NetBackup in HA mode.
While you install NetBackup on the subsequent nodes, information of already created NetBackup cluster group is displayed. You are prompted to join the group.
- When you are prompted for cluster-specific configuration details, refer to the checklist and provide details accordingly.
Allow NetBackup to be installed in a cluster. When a NetBackup failover server is installed:
On the first node, a single node cluster resource group for NetBackup is created and brought online.
On the other nodes, the installed node is added to the cluster resource group.
- Post installation, get security certificates on all the nodes within the cluster.
For more information on getting a certificate in a clustered NetBackup setup, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
- Continue with the configuration of NetBackup.
