Backup NeverFail Drives

[jego31]

We have an application that uses NeverFail to mirror the D: drive.  When they fail over from one node to another, they move the production IP to the other node.  How do you get the second agent to work if that host is already existing on the master server?

Hi Jego31,

A quick Google brings up this from Neverfail:

https://support.neverfail.com/portal/en/kb/articles/backup-neverfail-continuity-engine-clusters-usin... 

So as with a lot of clustered type systems you'll need a management IP address (and DNS name) that floats between the nodes.  That will be the client name that you configure in NetBackup, so no matter which node is active NetBackup can still find it.

Hope this helps,

Steve
