You must ensure that your cluster is properly installed and configured before you install
IBM Spectrum® Protect.
Procedure
To configure IBM Spectrum Protect in a Microsoft Failover Cluster, complete the following
steps:
-
Ensure that the Windows operating system is installed
on all computers that are part of the cluster. For the most current information about supported Windows operating systems, see technote 1243309.
-
Log on with the domain user ID. The domain user must be in the same domain as the IBM Spectrum Protect server.
-
Ensure that the failover cluster is installed and configured for all the computers in the
cluster.
If you plan to install the
IBM Spectrum Protect server on
the Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2019 operating system, install the failover cluster automation server and the failover cluster command interface first. To install these components, issue the following commands from Windows 2.0
PowerShell:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-Clustering-AutomationServer
Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-Clustering-CmdInterface
- Verify that each node and shared disk in the cluster is operational.
- Ensure that the shared tape devices are operational if IBM Spectrum Protect tape failover support is being used.
