HP OpenView Storage Data Protector
1. Introduction
This Whitepaper provides guidelines on how to install and configure HP OpenView
Storage Data Protector for backup/restore in HP ServiceGuard cluster of Linux
systems. The versions of HP OpenView Storage Data Protector addressed in this
document are A.05.10 and A.05.50. (DP 5.1 and DP 5.5)
The main objective of this document is to provide an overview of the procedure for
performing backup and restore operations using the HP OpenView Storage Data
Protector in HP ServiceGuard cluster of Linux systems. It also describes the concepts
involved in carrying out backup and restore operations in the cluster using HP
OpenView Storage Data Protector.
The Whitepaper begins with an overview of HP ServiceGuard cluster. Then it covers
the installation of HP OpenView Storage Data Protector in HP ServiceGuard cluster.
The next section explains the procedure for configuring Data Protector in HP
ServiceGuard cluster. The concluding section provides directions on backup/restore
of the shared data in the cluster.
2. HP ServiceGuard Cluster on Linux
A cluster is a collection of computer nodes – independent, self-contained computer
systems – that work together to provide a more reliable and powerful system than a
single node.
HP ServiceGuard is the clustering software for protecting critical applications from
hardware and software failures. With this software, multiple systems (nodes) are
organized into a cluster that is capable of delivering highly available application
services to LAN-attached clients. HP ServiceGuard for Linux allows the resources
needed by an application to be organized into entities called packages. HP
ServiceGuard is an important component in creating a complete and robust
environment for critical applications by making them highly available.
Figure 2-1 shows a typical ServiceGuard cluster with two nodes.
