Avamar -- Hyper-V Integration

In our environment, we have Clustered Hyper-V setup which consists of 4 Hyper-V node with CSV. VMs hosted on Failover Cluster of Hyper-V Server (Windows Core Installation) with CSV need to backed up. We have understood the following:

*     we need to install Avamar Client for windows on all Hyper-V nodes of the cluster (on the same location on all hyper-v servers involved in cluster)

*     We need to install Avamar Hyper-V VSS plugin on all Hyper-V nodes in the cluster

*     A separate server with Avamar Client for Windows and Hyper-V VSS Plugin with GLR for Granular Level Recovery

*     Avamar Cluster Configuration tool to be run

Ambigious areas:

*     How to run Avamar Cluster Configuration tool. Will AvamarClusterConfiguration.exe be available by default after installing Avamar Client  for                   windows or Avamar Hyper-V  VSS plugin ( I have installed both these components on my test env and AvamarClusterConfiguration.exe was not                  available)

*     Should Cluster Configuration be run on all the Hyper-V nodes or just one node of the cluster.

*     In one of the screen of the Avamar Windows Cluster configuration, its asks to fill out the Cluster group for Windows CSV Client. See attachment

        which was provided in Avamar Hyper-V VSS plugin user guide.  Should the cluster group for Windows CSV client be the Cluster name of the Hyper-V

        Cluster or some random name

*    An unique IP Address should be provided during the Avamar Cluster Configuration, should this IP address be already assigned to a NIC or will the             Avamar Cluster configuration create a Virtual Adaptor and assign this IP Address
