We are running a complex Windows Failover Cluster which is about to get more complex. Currently we have a 6 node failover cluster running Hyper-V on all nodes. Hyper-V is using cluster shared storage and we are backing these up with the Commvault Virtual server agent. We are looking to introduce to additional services to the cluster, File share and DHCP. These services use traditional storage with lettered drives. I have installed the virtual file system agent on the virtual cluster. The problem is because this is an Active / Active cluster the quorum can live independent of any of the services. The virtual file system agent is tied to cluster name.
I’m looking for a way to configure Commvault to be able to backup the file services and DHCP regardless of what node it sits on. I can configure new subclients on each node for the drives, but the problem there is if the node doesn’t have the storage it gives an error in Commvault.
We are using Simpana version 8 and are ready to go to version 9 after our DR test this month.
