After the Commvault software is installed on all the physical nodes that host the Microsoft cluster group, you must configure a cluster group client in the CommCell Console to protect cluster resources on the physical nodes.
Determine which method to use for creating the cluster group client:
-
Preferred Method: Configure a smart client group to auto-detect physical nodes
If you want to configure a cluster group client for all the physical nodes where you installed the Commvault software, configure a smart client group to detect the physical nodes and to create the cluster group client automatically.
-
Alternative Method: Create the cluster group client manually
If you want to configure a cluster group client for selected physical nodes, create the cluster group client manually and then associate the physical nodes with the new cluster group client.
