Eric,

Use another client node for shared data - we have one per app in the cluster.

It fails over with the app and has domain statements that restrict it to back up just 
its own filesystems. Use the PASSWDDIR option to keep the encrypted password with the 
data.  You will need to implement domain statements for the nodes that backup the 
non-shared portions of your cluster.

In our case if the app lives on filesystems /p201, /p202 etc...

We have a /p201/app/tsm directory containing app_dsm.opt and TSM.PWD and the logs
The app_dsm.opt file looks like 
SERVERNAME BLAH
DOMAIN /p201 /p202 (in our case /p203 and /p204 exist but are the  Database filespaces 
for this app)
DATEFORMAT 2

and we have the same dsm.sys on all servers in the cluster

SErvername             BLAH
    nodename            blah
    COMMmethod      TCPip
    tcpclientaddress   Blah
    HTTPPORT           1611
    PASSWDDIR        /p201/app/tsm
    PasswordAccess     generate
    schedmode          prompted
    managedservices    schedule webclient
    errorlogname       /p201/app/tsm/dsmerror.log
    errorlogretention  7
    schedlogname       /p201/app/tsm/dsmsched.log
    schedlogretention  7

We just increment the HTTPPort by one for each new app we define

Startup scripts run dsmcad -optfile=/p201/app/tsm/app_dsm.opt.

This currently is running well on sun/veritas.  In the past we ran it in an AIX/hacmp 
environment that never made it into production.

Hi *SM-ers!
Ok, I understand that include.fs is not available on AIX, so that will make
things more difficult.
Let me first explain what our AIX guys try to accomplish, maybe we are
trying to re-invent the wheel.
We are trying to create a standard backup solution for our HACMP clusters.
To put is simple: we want to backup all filesystems which are part of the
sharedvg. We would like to create a standard script, which can be used on
all HACMP nodes.
How do other people solve this?
Thank you very much for your reply in advance!
Kindest regards,

But your backups now run so much faster!  :-)
Checking the Unix client manual, I find no such "Include.FS" option, so what
you probably want to do is "Include /home/.../*".
Would that Query Inclexcl flagged such things.
