Data Protector 6 with MS Cluster

[Thomas Morger]

Hello
i've troubles with creating backup jobs by MS Clusters W2k3. Normal File backups are ok, but Exchange DB or SQL DB backup hangs when i try to define the jobs.
SQL DB Jobs on normal Servers are no Problem
Many thanks

Did anyone ever find an answer to this? I have the same issue whilst I am migrating from one DP server to another, and this is my sticking point. I have applied all the patches as well.

cheers

Found a solution - it may not apply to everyone.

Check the account that the Inet service is running under on all the nodes in the Cluster. That account needs to be an admin account in the Cell Manager (and by default it seems the account used to run DP on the Cell Manager is only an admin on the Cell Manager).

Why the Inet service was set to run under this account on my cluster I don't know (I didn't do the inital install) but on every other server in the domain it was set to run as the Local service. Changing the cluster nodes to Local Service may also fix the issue, but I have not tried that.

cheers
