You need to have bascially 3 installs on a cluster. One for each LOCAL node (to get
local drives and system objects - registry) and one for the cluster name
(clusternode=yes in dsm.opt file)
xyz Cluster - dsm.opt - located on both nodes (depends which one is active) and it has
clusternode=yes in dsm.opt file.
node 1 and 2 - dsmlocal.opt - no metion of cluster, therefore will backup all local
drives and registry
Create 2 backup schedules - one for dsmlocal.opt (local backups) which are set to
automatic start.
- one for dsm.opt (cluster name) which will
be set to manual start
In cluster Admin, create a group for the dsm.opt service (ex; TSM Backup Schedule for
Cluster) and set all nodes to be able to start it. (Make sure you create a seperate
group in the Cluster Admin!!! - so if something goes wrong just with the Tivoli
services it will not fail over the whole machine)
So what you will see on the TSM server is:
Node1
Node2
Cluster name for node1 and node2
(3 schedules for 2 boxes)
If you have any more questions email me.

Hi
If this is a Microsoft Cluster, you should have some kind of cluster group.
However, it doesn't have to contain any disk resources. Disk resources are not
necessary to use TSM cluster services. All you have to have is a MS cluster group. The
client shouldn't be running at both cluster nodes at the same time, as this will
endanger the possibility of restoring the cluster.
Just install TSM client software on both nodes, add the necessary
resources(See Using TSM in a clustered Windows environment), which should be attached
to the correct cluster group
Best Regards

Subject: Backing up NT server with print queues
We have a client with the following configuration:
2 NT servers running in a cluster. These servers are for the entire
enterprise's printer definitions. The run this in a cluster for fail-over
capability, so the users can still print even if a server goes down.
They want to be able to backup and recover this print server with TSM.Since
I don't believe that there is any disk cluster resources, I would think that
if we were to just run the B/A client on each server in the cluster and back
it up, they would be able to re-create this environment in the event of a
total site disaster.
Anyone have ANY suggestions of how to back and/or recover in this scenerio?
TIA,
