What I have done is installed TSM Client on both nodes on their local
drives. I then created 2 dsm.opt files (one called dsm.opt and the other
dsmlocal.opt). The dsm.opt file contained clusternode=yes, which you
will only see the shared drives. The dsmlocal.opt does not have the
clustermode option in it.

In Cluster admin I created a separate group called TSM Backups and put
in there the TSM Scheduler, Client, and Journal services (make sure you
have these services set to manual start - Cluster admin will control the
start/stop of these services). This will allow Windows to start/stop the
services for TSM depending on what node is active.

I then created a 2nd schedule on each node (2nd service) using the
DSMLOCAL.OPT file. I called this "TSM Backup for local node" (service
name). This service will also be installed on each node in the cluster
and will be set to automatically and will NOT be in the cluster admin
group of TSM. This will backup the local drives and the System.objects
of each node.

If you need more detail let me know and I will send screen shots and
more info to your email.

Subject: TSM win2k cluster install


We just installed a WIN2k Cluster and I'm a little confused as to what
to do
with TSM. If I read the book correctly, I'm easily confused by the way,
it
looks like I'm supposed to install the TSM client more than once. Once
on a
local disk and again on a disk out on the SAN the cluster is using.
Would
someone who's familiar with the steps for installing and configuring
please
drop me a line so I can hopefully get this backed up properly. If you
have
the steps outlined in a document that would be great.

Thanks for the help......
