New to Acronis. Best RHEL install on a Scale cluster.
I have a new Scale HC3 Cluster with 3 nodes. I am now installing Acronis RHEL on the fist VM. I'm looking for a document that would address the best way to set up the Acronis s/w on the 3 nodes. I plan on a mixed Windows / Linux VM environment. I also have a 2 host VMWare setup that I want to include in the future as well as end user PCs.
The first big question I have is, Do I install the full product on each Scale node or have one Main Management VM with a subset on the other 2 nodes?

How do I gain access to the Scale VM files so I can backup the Scale cluster environment? I am assuming that if I connect to one node, I have all the files that are used to run and control the cluster environment???

Hi John,
The backup management in setup I described above will be performed from inside the VM (in its console opened in Scale HC3 interface or via RDP) by running Acronis Management Console and connecting to Acronis Management Server (AMS). The other machines running on the cluster will be protected by backup agents running inside them (these agents will be registered on AMS after you install them). If I correctly understood the Scale HC3 cluster provides interface for managing the VMs (create/delete/modify/etc.) across entire cluster and thus there is no need to connect to each node separately.
Thank you.
