NOTE

When backing up a virtual host, the object ownership will acquire the
ownership of the stationary host on which the cluster package is
running. Therefore, when a failover occurs, the same object backup is
showing a different ownership. To avoid this, set the ownership in the
backup specification to the virtual host.

Backing Up Local Disks

To back up cluster local disks, proceed as follows:

1. Install and configure the Data Protector Disk Agent component on

each cluster node that has the local disk(s) you want to back up.

2. Configure a backup specification for specific cluster node using the

physical node name and select which of its local disks you want to
back up.

Backing Up Shared Disks

To back up cluster shared disks, proceed as follows:

1. Install (locally) and configure the Data Protector cluster client

software on all the cluster nodes. See the HP OpenView Storage Data
Protector Installation and Licensing Guide
for instructions.

2. Import cluster package to the Data Protector cell.

3. Configure a backup specification and select the virtual host. Define

the shared disks you want to back up.

About Backing Up Database Applications

Information in this section is valid for backing up a database application
running in the same cluster as the Cell Manager. The backup of the
application fails if it runs on a different node than the Cell Manager. It is
highly recommended to configure the application and the Cell Manager
in the same package.
