Manuel, This does help... I have only one group. Can I, for example, put the dsm.opt file on an "H" drive, and have both client 1 and 2 point to that dsm.opt file. So if server 1 fails, server 2 will start up the group scheduler and manage the backups.

Best to do a simple example on this: Cluster: 2 Nodes, 3 Groups Installation Node 1: TSM Client Local1 TSM Client Group1 TSM Client Group2 TSM Client Group3 Every group has its own schedulers, client acceptors and remote agents (those of group1-3 have to switch with the cluster).. Installation Node 2: TSM Client Local2 TSM Client Group1 TSM Client Group2 TSM Client Group3 (Group 1-3 have to be set up exactly like on Node 1!!) Hope that helps a little. regards, Manuel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wholey, Joseph (TGA\MLOL)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 10:52 PM Subject: TSM in a MS Cluster environment > I'm about to install TSM in a MS cluster environment.
