HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 1. Introduction This Whitepaper provides a guideline for how to configure HP OpenView Storage Data Protector for backup/restore of a HP Tru64 Unix Cluster. The cluster software that we are addressing is TruCluster Server Version 5.x. It describes the steps necessary for the installation and configuration of Data Protector 5.1 and 5.5 in this type of an environment. It also provides basic guidelines in configuration of Tru64 Cluster as a Media Agent.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 2. Overview of Tru64 Cluster TruCluster Server Version 5.1 is a highly integrated synthesis of Tru64™ UNIX software, AlphaServer™ systems, and storage devices that operate as a single virtual system. Members of the cluster can share resources, data storage, and clusterwide file systems under a single security and management domain, yet they can boot or shut down independently without disrupting the cluster’s services to clients.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 3. Installing Data Protector Agents on Tru64 Cluster To back up a Tru64 Cluster, Data Protector has to be installed one time on the shared disk and the cluster has to be imported to the Data Protector cell including the individual nodes in the cluster. NOTE: Data Protector has to be installed on the shared Disk (/usr/omni) within a cluster in order to import the cluster & nodes in the cell.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 4. Configuring Data Protector in a Tru64 Cluster For Data Protector to be able to see all the systems (individual & cluster nodes), the nodes need to be imported into the Data Protector Cell. Following is the procedure for importing the individual & cluster nodes. 4.1. Importing Cluster to the Data Protector Cell Importing means manually adding a system to the cell after the Data Protector software has been installed on the system.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 4.2. Configuring Media Agent for failover Data protector Supports Media Agent in a Tru64 Cluster in two ways: 1. Data Protector Media Agent is installed in the Tru64 Cluster and devices are configured using the individual Node Names. In this case failover of the Media Agent is not supported. The user needs different Backup Specifications in case of a failover of the Media agent. 2.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 5. Backing Up & Restoring Data in the Cluster 5.1. Backup Shared disks are accessible if the Tru64 Cluster shared disk is running. Therefore, a backup of shared disks will fail if the cluster is not running. To back up the shared disks: 5.1.1 Filesystem Backup: 1. Install the Data Protector Disk Agent on the shared disk in the cluster. (as described above in section 3.0) 2. Import the cluster into the Data Protector Cell (as described above in section 3.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 5.1.3 SAP Backup 1. Install the Data Protector Oracle Agent on the shared disk in the cluster. (as described above in section 3.0) 2. Add the cluster nodes in your Data Protector Cell Manager, and now you can add the Virtual Cluster Name using import client option and enabled Virtual host in the window. Now Data Protector can access the data in the cluster on a clusterwide basis using the Virtual hostname of the Cluster. 3.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 5.2. Restore 5.2.1 Filesystem Restore: For details on how to restore filesystem data, please refer to the “Restore” chapter in the “HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Administrator’s Guide”. 5.2.2 Oracle Restore: For details on how to restore Oracle data, please refer to the section “Restoring Oracle8/9 Databases” in the chapter “Integrating Oracle8/9 and Data Protector” of the “HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Unix Integration Guide”.
