Hi John, I’ve build several manual clusters on Linux, Unix and Windows for TSM and:
- locally install TSM - local TSM instance owner (same UID on both servers) - local TSM instance (db2icrt -a SERVER -u $instance $instance) - local sqllib/userprofile - on both servers: db2 update dbm cfg using dftdbpath $instance/etc shared: - db, log, and instance (etc) directory in $instance/etc I create dsmserv.opt and run dsmserv format on the failover server, all I have to do is (after the db2 update dbm cfg), db2 catalog db TSMDB1 then you can start TSM wherever you like. I use a ‘floating’ ip-address that I ping in the start script as a sort of safeguard before starting TSM, and then configure that IP-address on my default interface, mount the storage and finally start TSM. With a share home dir, you need to do some trickery to make your db2 instance known (db2ilist will show it) and edit some file (db2nodes.cfg or something) in $HOME/sqllib to make db2 understand that it can run on that server. Never tried that, YMMV. > On 10 Nov 2017, at 13:24, John Keyes <ra...@gmx.net> wrote: > > Hello, > > i am trying to "clusterfy" a clients TSM 6 Server Setup.
