Appendix D of the TSM B/A client manual describes the steps necessary to configure TSM to backup cluster resources. I think you're missing the step for the registry key replication.

I have to manually log in start the cluster services through the cluster admin and then there is a password mismatch so i have to reset the password in TSM and then restart the TSM cluster service via cmd line with dsmc -optfile=g:\tsmconfig1 Everytime i resync the password on the tsm server for the active node , it ofcourse becomes out of sync with the passive node for the next login. Seems the registry is not holding the password and every 90 days this happens as the password expires. I cannot set password expiration to zero as its against regulations. How can I have the registry hold these TSM passowrds? Am i doing something wrong? The redbook does not speak on this so im kinda lost. Any ideas appreciated.Thanks. -- Regards, Fawad Baig
