I have implemented the use of two different nodenames on the same server only because I wanted to have the same node backing up files or databases using a different policy set (and thus different management class). If the data you'll be backing up can follow the same rules then there's no point defining two nodenames and two schedulers. Yiannakis

We do this same thing for our Exchange servers. For instance: One machine: TESTNODE But you're going to want TSM to see it as TWO nodes, TESTNODE1 and TESTNODE2 (or whatever) Two services: (name 'em whatever you want) Service1: TSM_SCHED Service2: TSM_SCHED2 Your original install, the TSM_SCHED would point to your regular old dsm.opt file. So you have to get the second to point to another dsm.opt file, maybe named dsm2.opt So the command you want to run for the baclient directory goes like this: dsmcutil install shced /name:"TSM_SCHED2" /node:TESTNODE2 /password:[your password] /clientdir:"progra~1\Tivoli\TSM\baclient /optfile:c:\progra~1\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm2.opt /autostart:yes /startnow:yes That'll install another service named TSM_SCHED2 that knows it's got a nodename of TESTNODE2. Register that node with the server and then do what you want with it (different mgt class, schedule, etc). Hope this helps.

This is a windows 2003 machine. Has anyone seen documentation to support this or can it even be done? Thanks, Laura Booth
