Installation road map for Windows Server 2019, 2016, or 2012 active/active clusters with SOFS or SMB

This road map describes how to configure Windows Server 2019, 2016, or 2012 or 2012 R2 active/active clusters with SOFS or SMB.

Prerequisites

In this setup, two cluster roles (for example, R1 and R2) each have a cluster node (for example, N1 and N2).

Steps

  1. Create more than one cluster role (for example, R1 and R2).
  2. Create file shares on those cluster roles.
  3. Install the Avamar Client for Windows in the same folder on the cluster nodes, N1 and N2. Installing the Avamar Client for Windows provides instructions.
    NOTE The cluster roles can be owned by the same cluster node (N1 or N2), or by a different cluster node (for example, R1 is owned by N1, and R2 is owned by N2.
  4. Register each node as a client with the Avamar server. Registering the client provides instructions.
  5. Run the Cluster Configuration Wizard on the two cluster nodes to create two cluster Proxy nodes (N1 and N2). Configuring the proxy cluster client on Windows Server 2012 provides instructions.

Results

Select the names of the proxy nodes in the Avamar Administrator client list to perform backups on different cluster servers (roles).
