Cluster requirements?

I need to install NetBackup in a windows cluster. the NetBackup is not cluster but there are 2 servers with windows cluster, I need to know how to install it.
Do I need to install it normally. Install NBU in each node. Or there are specific steps.
I did many search but what I found is for the NBU cluster. Nothing regarding if the servers are clustered.

Thanks,
Amin

Are you asking how to setup for a client install that is clustered?

Install on servera - when doing this say the name of the server for netbackup is servera
install on serverb - when doing this say the name of the server for netbackup is serverb

How to Add to policies

Find out about your cluster and what drives are unique to the physical servers a and b

let us say they both have a c
If you need to backup the C drives then set up a policy to get the C drive.
(someone else may do this differently - this is how I do it)
I have a policy called physical_clusters
in here I add the physical names of the cluster servers
servera
serverb
for files selection I have
C:\
Shadow Copy Components

how find out the virtual names
Vserverab

Find out what drives belong the the Vserver names
Drives E and F are part of the cluster and can be on servera or fail over to serverb

Now I set up a policy
server name in the policy
Vserverab
file selection
E:\
F:\

so now I get the C drives from the physical servers

and I will get the E and F drives no matter which server they currently are on as I get them via Virtual server name and not physical server name.
