*SMers,
I understand from searching back on the list that this one might be a bit of a hot potato, but here goes anyway:
We'd ideally like to set up TSM Journaling on a Win2K MSCS Cluster using TSM 4.2 Client with SAN attached disk.
So, my questions are:
o) Does the TSM Journal Engine support SAN-attached disks - I recall something about the Win32 api ReadDirectoryChangesW only monitoring 'local' file system changes - does this preclude SAN attached disk?
A SAN-attached disk is considered a local file system. Yes, this would be "journalable". (Is that even a word?)
o) Would this work in an MSCS cluster?
I'm going to defer to Andy Raibeck on the official answer on this one.Does it work? The answer I got was that this was not supported, because the TSM Journal Service cannot be restarted on the second half of the cluster if a failover occurs. But if you are willing to live with this limitation, it does work. You can have the journal service monitor the shared resources, and it will journal them. It just won't work in the event of a failover. The journal will not be valid, and you will have to resort to a "normal" incremental backup.
Has anyone done this, or tried to? Any advice?
Any help greatly received, as always!
