b. Run the following command to associate the host with each node on which the application runs in the cluster:
nbemmcmd -updatehost -add_server_to_app_cluster -machinename node_name -machinetype media -clustername virtual_name
-netbackupversion 6.0 -masterserver master_name
where node_name is a node on which the application can run, virtual_name is the virtual name of the cluster, and master_name is the name of the NetBackup master server.
c. Repeat step b for each node on which the application can run.
3. On the each node where the media server is installed, make the following changes to the Servers list.
a. Add the hostname for each node of the cluster.
b. Add the virtual name for each highly available application.
4. Using the Administration Console, create a disk storage unit for each application.
Specify the virtual name of the application as media server name for the storage unit.
5. To back up each application, create a policy that specifies the storage unit you created in step 4 for that application.
Upgrading from 5.x to 6.0
▼ To upgrade separate NetBackup media servers
1. Ensure a good backup of your cluster environment exists that includes the NetBackup databases and catalogs.
2. On each node on which NetBackup media server is installed, install the software on the local disk as you would in a non-cluster environment.
Follow the instructions for upgrading as described in the NetBackup Installation Guide.
Upgrading from 5.x to 6.0
3. On the master server, perform the following steps.
a. Run the following command to add a host with the virtual name of the application cluster:
nbemmcmd -addhost -machinename virtual_name -machinetype app_cluster
where virtual_name is the virtual name of the application.
b. Run the following command to associate the host with each node on which the application runs in the cluster:
nbemmcmd -updatehost -add_server_to_app_cluster -machinename node_name -machinetype media -clustername virtual_name
-netbackupversion 6.0 -masterserver master_name
where node_name is a node on which the application can run, virtual_name is the virtual name of the cluster, and master_name is the name of the NetBackup master server.
c. Repeat step b for each node on which the application can run.

bpclusterutil D
In an MSCS or a VCS for Windows cluster, under normal circumstances, cluster
configuration is one of the final steps in installing NetBackup in a cluster. If this step is not done or does not complete successfully, the bpclusterutil command may be used to perform this step.
The “bpclusterutil -c” command runs the cluster configuration step performed by installation. This command can be run multiple times. Only run this command from the active node.
NAME
bpclusterutil - Modify and configure NetBackup in a Windows cluster.
SYNOPSIS
install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpclusterutil [-a “Service Name”]
[-addnode NodeName] [-c] [-ci] [-delete] [-depend ServiceName DependServiceName] [-display] [-np]
install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpclusterutil [-r CLUSTEREDSERVICES servicename -r CLUSTERGROUPNAME
-r CLUSTERNAME clustername -r CLUSTERTYPE MSCS|VCS -r GLOBDBHOST nodename
-r MONITOREDSERVICES servicename
-r VIRTUALIPADDRESS ip address
This command is available on NetBackup master and media servers and is only applicable to clusters in a Windows environment. It allows the user to set up the registry entries used for cluster configuration and then to configure the cluster. This command only modifies registry entries on the local node.
OPTIONS
-a “Service Name”
Configure a service, ServiceName, in the NetBackup group within the cluster.
-addnode
Adds a node name to the possible owners list of all the resources in the NetBackup group.
-c
Configures NetBackup in a cluster based on the values specified in the registry and brings the NetBackup group online.
-ci
Configures NetBackup in a cluster based on the values specified in the registry and does not bring the NetBackup group online.
-delete
Deletes the registry entries used to configure NetBackup in a cluster.
-depend ServiceName DependServiceName
Sets the cluster resource for ServiceName to have a dependency on DependServiceName.
-display
Displays the registry entries used for clustering configuration.
-np
silent mode (no print).
-offline
This option issues the offline command to the NetBackup group in the cluster.
-online
This option issues the online command to the NetBackup group in the cluster.
-r
Sets the corresponding NetBackup cluster configuration registry entry to the specified value.
CLUSTEREDSERVICES servicename
This option adds servicename to the CLUSTEREDSERVICES registry entry.
Only one service name can be entered at a time; run the command multiple times to add service names. The service name should match the
“service name” property of the service.
CLUSTERGROUPNAME
CLUSTERNAME clustername CLUSTERTYPE MSCS|VCS GLOBDBHOST nodename
MONITOREDSERVICES servicename
This option adds servicename to the MONITOREDSERVICES registry entry. Only one service name can be entered at a time; run the command multiple times to add service names. The service name should match the
“service name” property of the service.
NETBACKUPINSTALLPATH path NETBACKUPSHAREDDRIVE drive:
NETBACKUPTYPE MASTER|MEDIA NETWORKSELECTION network name NODENAMES nodename
If NODENAMES is specified, only one node name can be entered. Run the command multiple times to add node names.
-rm
Removes a value from the corresponding NetBackup cluster configuration registry entry.
CLUSTEREDSERVICES servicename
This option removes servicename from the CLUSTEREDSERVICES registry entry. Only one service name can be entered at a time; run the command multiple times to remove service names. The service name should match the “service name” property of the service.
MONITOREDSERVICES servicename
This option removes servicename from the MONITOREDSERVICES registry entry. Only one service name can be entered at a time; run the command multiple times to remove service names. The service name should match the “service name” property of the service.
-startagent
Starts the NetBackup VCS agent.
-stopagent
Stops the NetBackup VCS agent.
