Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to a method for improving the performance of discovery in a failover cluster or similar cluster-based system. More specifically, by mapping shared volumes to a cluster client instead of individual data nodes, one or more embodiments of the invention avoid duplicative backups and/or restorations of the same shared assets by the each of the data nodes. To map the one or more shared volumes to a cluster client, the cluster manager and/or data protection manger must determine which of the volumes in the cluster are associated with either an active/passive shared volume or a cluster shared volume (CSV). Therefore, the cluster environments assets may be efficiently mapped and accessed.
