How to Verify a Cluster-aware Installation and Upgrade

This section describes how to verify Arcserve Backup installations and upgrades in MSCS and NEC CLUSTERPRO cluster-aware environments.

To verify a cluster-aware installation and upgrade

1. Ensure that no errors occurred during the installation or upgrade process.
2. To ensure that Arcserve Backup services start properly, execute the cstop script to stop all Arcserve Backup services and then execute the cstart script to restart all Arcserve Backup services.

   Note: The cstop and cstart batch files are stored in the Arcserve Backup installation directory on the Arcserve Backup server. For more information about using cstop and cstart, see the Administration Guide.

3. Open the Arcserve Backup Manager Console on a stand-alone server.

   Note: Do not log in to the cluster node at this time.

4. From the Manager Console on the stand-alone system, log in to the newly installed or upgraded system using the virtual name.
5. If you can successfully log in to the new system, move the Arcserve cluster group to another node. Ensure that all Arcserve services started successfully.
6. After you move the Arcserve cluster group, ensure that you can navigate the Manager Console. For example, open the Backup Manager, the Restore Manager, and the Jab Status Manager.

   Note: The Manager Console may stop responding intermittently while the cluster group is moving.

7. Open the Server Admin. Ensure that the primary server detects all member servers.
8. Open the Device Manager. Ensure that Arcserve Backup detects your devices.
9. Open the Job Status Manager. Ensure that all data from the previous installation migrated to the new primary server. Arcserve Backup migrates information about jobs, logs, and user information from the previous servers to the new primary server.
10. Submit a simple backup job on a member server.
