This section provides specific information for integration of Data Protector and Veritas Cluster and
assumes that you are familiar with clustering concepts and concepts related to Veritas Cluster.
Licensing and VERITAS Cluster
When you purchase a license for the Data Protector Cell Manager, the license will be bound to a
virtual server and will work regardless of any physical node inside a Veritas cluster, the Data Protector
Cell Manager executes as long as the package is running on one of the nodes. If the Cell Manager is
installed on a cluster using the same virtual IP address for all nodes within the cluster, only one starter
pack is required.
Installation of Cell Manager on Veritas Cluster
Prerequisites for Installation
To install Data Protector Cell Manager on Veritas Cluster, the server must meet the following
requirements:
 Obtain the following information from the network administrator:
– Virtual server name (the hostname specified in the cluster package)
– Package IP or virtual IP-address
 Create a shared disk which is accessible on both the nodes at the same time (ACTIVE-ACTIVE).
 Ensure that the cluster nodes and the package IP (virtual IP) are on the same subnet.
 Ensure that all the cluster nodes and the package IP are registered with the DNS server.
If you need to add additional software components on cluster nodes using the Data Protector GUI,
ensure that the node to which you add the components is active.
If the Cell Manager is to be cluster-aware, the virtual server IP address must be used for licenses.
