Getting Started with Data Collector Clustering

Data Collector clustering:

  1. Install the Veritas NetBackup Data Collector on shared volume attached to the active node using below options:
    • Flag option: Run the command:

      silentinstall.cmd /INSTALL_TYPE:INSTALL /REMOVE_NON_OEM_DIR:Y /INSTALL_PATH:<shared_disk_dc_installation_path> /CLUSTER_TYPE:VCS 
    • Cluster configuration file option: The installer has vcsclusterconfig.cmd file present. Update the configuration properties and run the installer using command:

      silentinstall.cmd /INSTALL_TYPE:INSTALL /REMOVE_NON_OEM_DIR:Y /CLUSTER_CONFIG_PATH:<vcsclusterconfig.cmd-file-path>

    Both the above commands install Data Collector on both active and passive nodes.
