About Enterprise Vault agent installation requirements in a cluster

You must verify that the Enterprise Vault agent software is installed and operational on each Enterprise Vault node in the cluster to ensure failover capabilities.

See Verifying Enterprise Vault agent operating system compatibility.

For more information about the NetBackup Enterprise Vault Agent support for Enterprise Vault that is clustered in WSFC configurations, refer to the NetBackup Software Compatibility List.

To enable the NetBackup Enterprise Vault agent to detect a WSFC clustered server, you must make some changes on each cluster node. Add the following Windows registry keys and String Values (type REG_SZ) on each cluster node:

  • For x86 WSFC clusters: If a key does not exist, create the following one:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Admin\ConfigState

  • For x64 WSFC clusters: If a key does not exist, create the following one:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Admin\ConfigState

When the key is created, add the following string values:

  • "ClusVirtualServer"="virtual node name"

  • "ClusResourceGroup"="EV Resource Group name"
