    It depends on NW version. With 7.4SP2 you no longer need CCC. DSN in cluster is supported since 7.4SP1 I believe... perhaps even 7.4... should be documented in release notes.

    By the book, having DSN in cluster was not supported for those versions.

    I checked with support and as per them even on 7.4.2, DSN is not supported for virtual host on a cluster...you need to have storage ndoe license only.

    I believe there should be entry in release supplement which states something different.

    Oh Thanks, I just checked in release notes and it says:

    "DSN cluster backup
    The Physical node can be configured as a DSN to back up the cluster's virtual
    node."

    In this case then, we need DSN licenses and not SN licenses, you save a lots of money there.

    However, when I logged in Sev 3 Sr with support, this is what they ahd to day:

    "Hello Anuj,

    I confirmed and you need a storage node license.

    Also as the storage node going to be on cluster you need to use the curphyhost attribute in the virtual node.

    I hope you got the required information."

    I am understanding something incorrectly.

    I am using NW 7.3.3 (build 510) I could not get my backup to work with with DSN. I had to have SN.

    You have good and bad people. As support is made of people, you have good and bad support.
