Veeam agent for Windows failover cluster

Post by bk@virtualtn.com »

Hello,

I have a question regarding Veeam windows Agent please.
I have configured a backup job for Windows cluster with 2 nodes.
When Veeam starts to backup the shared HDD, I have failover the cluster and the job was failed. (No access to the disc anymore)
When the job retry, Veeam process with the node that was in error and the job has successfully for all the cluster.
But in reality the shared HDD has not been backup.
is there any method to force retry for all nodes in the cluster even node that has successfully backup?

Thanks for your help

Agent version 2.1.0.423
VBR version 9.5 U3

Hello Bilel.

Are you talking about agent job configured in Veeam B&R? Is that a failover cluster job? Thanks.

Try to rerun the job (right click the job and hit Start): cluster resource should be processed from the second node after failover.

Yes I confirm Start job will processed with the resource cluster.
but the problem when job retry after failed caused by failover cluster job will be successfully for all the cluster even if the cluster ressources has not been backup.
I think in this case automatic retry should be disable on the job configuration
Thanks

Bilel,

May I ask you to submit a support case? Job retry should actually solve the failover problem, so please let our support team investigate your issue and do not forget to share the case ID in this thread. Thank you in advance.
