1.1.3 Client Cluster Operation

Client cluster operation enables backup user resource that is constructed on PRIMECLUSTER consistently in clustering environment.
Using logical node name (virtual NetWorker client and server) enables backup after failover occurs without changing NetWorker definition.

Virtual Client Backup

It can be backed up by a virtual client name (logical node name) like a server cluster operation.

Local Backup of nodes within cluster

It can be backed up by a physical client name like a server cluster operation.

Standby operation making about NetWorker client

It can be standby operation making about NetWorker client like a storage node cluster.

Scalable operation making about NetWorker client

The scalable operation of the NetWorker client is achieved by running NetWorker client on every node within a cluster in cooperation with PRIMECLUSTER.
Moreover, the detector monitors the process of the NetWorker client, and notifies PRIMECLUSTER when fault occurs. Because the recovery feature of PRIMECLUSTER can be used, the availability of the backup operation system which uses NetWorker is improved.
