Has anyone ever seen this? We have a number of clusters of 2 servers each, active and passive. When we get a request to back one up, we load the client on both servers and create the policy to backup the with the cluster name, that way it will always back up the active node. This works fine most of the time, but sometimes when there is a failover or just a switch of the active node, netbackup still sees the original node as active. Example:

cluster servers: node1 and node2 (node1 active)
cluster name: cluster1

With everything loaded and policy created to back up cluster1. You go to host properties and connect to cluster1 and check client name. It shows the name of the active node, node1. For whatever reason, The active node changes to node2. Now, when you go to host properties and connect to cluster1, the client name should be node2, but it's not, it's still node1 which means the clustered drives will not be backed up.

I have seen this a couple of times and have one now that is still seeing the passive node as active.

Any ideas?
