Change the Arcserve Backup Domain in NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster

In a NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster cluster environment, you can move a member server to a different Arcserve Backup domain. Changes to the domain in a cluster environment can only be made on an active node and must be changed for all nodes within the cluster.

To change the Arcserve Backup domain in a NEC cluster

1. Stop the cluster group. For more information, see Stop NEC Cluster Groups.

   Note: You must stop the group to edit the group properties.

2. Remove the registry sync and edit the start.bat and stop.bat scripts to disable Arcserve Backup scripts added during installation. For more information, see Disable Arcserve Backup in NEC Cluster Scripts.
3. From the Arcserve Backup home directory, run the cstart.bat utility to start all Arcserve Backup services.

   All Arcserve Backup services are started.

4. From the Start menu, access the Server Configuration Wizard to run the ARCserveCfg.exe utility for the active node and specify the new Arcserve Backup domain. For more information about changing a domain, see Move a Member Server to a Different Arcserve Backup Domain.

   The first "active" cluster node is configured for the new domain.

5. From the Arcserve home directory, run the cstop.bat utility to stop all Arcserve Backup services.

   All Arcserve Backup services are stopped.

6. From the Cluster Manager, right-click on the group name and from the pop-up menu, select Move Group to change the active node.

   The status of the original node will be changed to offline (passive) and the status of the next node within the cluster will be changed back to online (active).

7. From the Arcserve Backup home directory, run the cstart.bat utility to start all Arcserve Backup services.

   All Arcserve Backup services are started.

8. From the Arcserve home directory, run the cstop.bat utility to stop all Arcserve Backup services.

   All Arcserve Backup services are stopped.

9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for all remaining nodes in the cluster.

   All nodes in the cluster have been changed to the new domain.

10. From the Cluster Manager, right-click on the group name and from the pop-up menu, select Move Group to change the active node back to the original node.

    The status of the last node will be changed to offline (passive) and the status of the original node within the cluster will be changed back to online (active).

11. Rebuild the NEC Cluster Scripts and Registry Sync. For more information, see Enable Arcserve Backup in NEC Cluster Scripts.

    The new NEC HA scripts are created and the registry is synchronized.
