Our SQL client server has 2 interfaces. Backup runs on one VLAN but cluster config runs on the other VLAN. I was able to setup backup as single node instance and running. After creating a Failover Cluster INstance it cannot add the SQL instances into it as it has connection problems. My question is.. do we need to have both node and cluster IP in one VLAN?

Hi Ladislav,

 

The Commvault Cluster client uses the clustered interface to send command traffic, this allows us to always hit the online node in order to send control traffic. The clustered interface will need to be able to be reached from the Infrastructure to facilitate this. If you can add another IP address to the clustered resource in Failover Cluster Manager that is on the Backup VLAN and make sure that Commvault is configured to use that IP address for communication (either by setting the Host Name property of the cluster client to this IP address in CV, or by configuring a DIP) then that should solve the issue.
