Symantec private branch exchange - PBX on cluster, why?

[gustavo_cruz]

I installed on a cluster the version 7.1.0.2 from Netbackup. And when i saw he created a service on cluster?

Why? If when i installing don´t have any option from this.

How can i remove?

I presume your cluster is the master server.

PBX is required for NetBackup to run, do not remove it.  It is installed 'separately' as it is shared between Symantec products, so although it is essential for NBU, it is technically a separate product.

From TN  http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO11303

Because PBX is required for all NetBackup products, its installation is part of the NetBackup installation procedure. The only exception is when it exists prior to NetBackup installation.

As I mentioned, PBX has to be installed for NBU to run.  If you remove it, it will break NBU.

I undestand this service is very important.

But, why this service was installed on my cluster? The server is not the master, it is only a server.

I don´t want to remove the service from Windows, just to cluster.

Do you understant my question?

Now that we know this is not the master, you can safely remove PBX from the cluster.

Thanks a lot your answers.

But when i will install the client on other cluster, the service will be included on cluster?

[mph999]

I didn't, but now I have seen the answer from Marianne, I see you mean remove from being a cluster resource.

Another TN:   (Although for 6.5, the procedure should be similar.) http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH60599

Resolution:
Prior to install, add the following entry, PBXCONFIGURECS="FALSE" , to the last line in "SilentClient.cmd" and "SilentPatch.cmd" script which starts with %MSIEXEC% %LOG%.  This line is normally quite long.  The entry should be inserted just before REBOOT="ReallySuppress", see Example below.
