Media server installation and configuration in a cluster must be done for each local node name.

The only type of clustered config for media servers must be 'app_cluster' on the master server.

As stated previously - each IP address must be linked to a different hostname (preferrably in hosts file on the node and in DNS.)
The hostname used for NBU should resolve to one IP address only and must be the SERVER and CLIENT_NAME used in bp.conf on the node.

PS:
You never told us which NBU version?

Media Server in cluster ... I think its unsupported after 7.x . check the HA guied and compatibility guide

If your intention is to use Tape library with the Meida server in Cluster then its not a good idea .

However since you mentioned that tpautoconf if failing . can you check the entries in vm.conf file as well .

Hi Marianne,

The NBU version 7.6.1.

All the cluster server, I just install like the single server . In the interactive installation question about cluster, the answer no.

Tape in clustered media server is 100% fine. NBU is not clustered, only app_cluster config on master. Configuration of app_cluster is covered in NBU HA Guide. Please take note of my post above that each IP must be linked to different hostname.
