How to Configure HVR in a Windows Cluster

Question

How can I configure HVR in a Windows cluster?

Environment

HVR 5

Answer

HVR Scheduler

The OS user running the HVR service must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server or equivalent to perform direct log parsing. This is because SQL Server stores these files as read-only with Administrator privileges.

To enroll the Scheduler Service in a Windows cluster, use option -c in the command hvrscheduler.

HVR Listener

To enroll the Remote Listener Service in a Windows cluster, use option -c in the command hvrremotelistener.

HVR Alerts (maintenance tasks)

For -c Windows cluster group, refer to the option -sched_option in the command hvrmaint).

Starting and stopping Cluster Services

For starting and stopping the cluster services, refer to the Failover Clusters documentation.
