NETWORKER.CLUSTER(8)NETWORKER.CLUSTER(8)NAMEnetworker.cluster - configure NetWorker software as highly-available
SYNOPSISnetworker.cluster [ -r nsr_bin ]
DESCRIPTION
The networker.cluster is an interactive script for configuring the Net‐
Worker Client or NetWorker Server as a highly available application in
a cluster. It should be run after a proper installation of NetWorker
on all the nodes of the cluster to activate the failover and cluster-
aware capabilities of NetWorker.
The configuration separates the local NetWorker database area used by
the cluster-aware NetWorker Client from the global NetWorker database
area used by the Highly Available NetWorker Server. This is done via a
set of symbolic links which are created to enable easy switching
between the global and local NetWorker databases. The global NetWorker
database is on a shared storage media and follows the Highly Available
(virtual) NetWorker Server on a failover.
The NetWorker.clustersvr file is created in the NetWorker binaries
directory to specify that NetWorker has been installed as a high-avail‐
able service.
The script then creates the appropriate lcmap (8) script for the clus‐
ter platform.
When NetWorker Server is configured, the user is asked for cluster
platform specific information to prepare for registration of the Net‐
Worker Server with the cluster software. However the setup is finished
manually. Only the NetWorker Client is started on the node by the net‐
worker.cluster script. Refer to the NetWorker Installation Guide
appropriate for your cluster platform for specific instructions.
If a mistake is made during the configuration, run networker.cluster
with the -r option to undo the changes.
OPTIONS-r nsr-bin
Used to removed the cluster configuration of NetWorker software.
The optional nsr-bin parameter is used to specify the location
of NetWorker binaries when NetWorker software is installed in
non-default location.
