Installation and configuration with cluster

[barrett27]

Hello,
I need to install Veeam plugin for AIX on a server which is the primary of two nodes and configure a job that saves the content of a folder in managed mode.

Should I install and repeat the configuration also on the secondary node?

Thanks

Hello,

As I understand, you are running a 2-node PowerHA cluster.
I also assume you are referring to Veeam Agent for AIX, despite mentioning the word "plugin."
Please note that backup of a clustered system, IBM PowerHA SystemMirror, is not supported by Veeam Agent for AIX.

Therefore, the answer is yes, you must install Veeam Agent for AIX on both nodes.

Hello Rovshan,
thanks.

I've installed the agent on both nodes.

What about the job configuration? A job has been configured from the primary node. Should I run the configuration also on the secondary? Maybe without a schedule because the target path is missing since it is on the primary node at the moment

Hello,

Yes, you will need to configure the job on the other secondary machine as well.
However, when it comes to a shared file system that is mounted on the primary node and needs to failover to the secondary node if necessary,
I would suggest trying NFS file share backup jobs.

Export the shared file system via NFS so that the share is accessible via the VIP/Clustered IP. Then, follow these steps:

• Add the NFS share into Veeam Backup & Replication: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120

• Configure a backup job for the NFS share: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
