The Data Agent should be installed as a cluster resource and managed by Microsoft
Cluster Server so that only one Data Agent is running at any one time. Only one Data
Agent should be running to ensure that the nodes have a consistent view of the
PowerVault storage system. Use the following steps to install the Data Agent as a
cluster resource:
1. Confirm that Dell OpenManage Managed Node Agent is installed on both nodes.
2. On both nodes, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click on Control
Panel.
3. Click on Services to modify the start-up parameter of the Dell OpenManage Data
Agent to Manual.
4. On both nodes, make sure that the Managed Node Agent is using the same avail-
able LUN for communications.
5. After installing Microsoft Cluster Server on both nodes, open the Cluster
Administrator.
6. Right-click Cluster Group, point to New, and click Resource.
7. Type Managed Node Agent in the Name field.
8. From the Resource Type pull-down menu, click Generic Service.
9. Click Next.
10. Verify that both nodes appear in the Possible Owners window, and click Next.
11. Highlight Cluster IP Address and Cluster Name, move them to the Resource
Dependencies window, and click Next.
Enabling these dependencies ensures that as soon as the Data Agent starts, the
Administrator can connect to the Data Agent through the cluster IP address or
the cluster name.
12. Type Dell_OpenManage_Data_Agent in the Service Name field, and click
Next.
13. Click Finish.
14. Click OK.
15. Right-click Cluster Group, and select Bring Online.
NOTE: After installing the Dell OpenManage Managed Node Agent as a generic
resource in the cluster, the cluster software is responsible for managing the Data
Agent. If you try to stop the Data Agent in the Control Panel or in the Agent Configura-
tor, the cluster will try to start the Data Agent automatically. Therefore, you should
stop or start the Data Agent only by using Cluster Administrator to bring the Managed
Node Agent resource off-line or online.
