NEC Cluster Server Self-Protection

For NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster, all cluster configuration information resides in a file system as regular files.

To protect a cluster node itself and reduce the potential risk caused by accidental node failure, you should back up the following data using the physical name of the nodes:

• all data on the local disks contained in the Windows boot/system partitions
• system state data

During restore operations, you first need to determine the severity of the problem. If you cannot boot the node at all, see Recovering NEC Clusters in the Arcserve Backup Disaster Recovery Option Guide. If you can boot the operating system and only the NEC cluster files are damaged, refer to the applicable NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster document to manually restore these configuration files that are related to NEC clusters.
