Getting Started with Data Collector Clustering

Data Collector clustering:

Install the Veritas NetBackup Data Collector on shared volume attached to the active node using below options:
- Flag option: Run the command:
```
silentinstall.cmd /INSTALL_TYPE:INSTALL /REMOVE_NON_OEM_DIR:Y /INSTALL_PATH:<shared_disk_dc_installation_path> /CLUSTER_TYPE:VCS 
```
- Cluster configuration file option: The installer has vcsclusterconfig.cmd file present. Update the configuration properties and run the installer using command:
```
silentinstall.cmd /INSTALL_TYPE:INSTALL /REMOVE_NON_OEM_DIR:Y /CLUSTER_CONFIG_PATH:<vcsclusterconfig.cmd-file-path>
```
Note:
Both the above commands install Data Collector on both active and passive nodes.
Configure the Data Collector either using NetBackup Web UI or using the silent configuration option:
```
silentinstall.cmd /INSTALL_TYPE:CONFIG /RESPFILE:<response_file_path>
```
The cluster configuration for NetBackup and Data Collector after installation and configuration of Data Collector:
