Cluster environment limitations
There are configuration limitations for the HSM for Windows™ client in a cluster environment. Migration jobs must be started again manually when a cluster node fails.
The HSM for Windows client supports the following cluster environments:
A Microsoft® cluster (MSCS) environment with the following configurations:
- Local volumes that are mounted into local volumes
- Cluster volumes that are mounted into cluster volumes
Note: In these configurations, both cluster volumes belong to the same cluster resource to guarantee that both are always online on the same cluster node.You cannot use the following configurations because in these configurations HSM for Windows client cannot recall migrated files after failover:- Cluster volumes that are mounted into local volumes
- Local volumes that are mounted into cluster volumes
When a migration job is running and the cluster node fails, the job is interrupted.
You must restart the migration job manually on the next node. When you start the job on the next
node, the job continues from the point when the node failed.
Tip: Create a similar job or
migration list on the next node in the cluster.
