You can also use the "dsmcutil update cad..." and "dsmcutil update remoteagent..." commands to set the password on the passive node if you don't want to fail it over every 90 days.
In fact, I would recommend setting up a batch file for each of your cluster nodes that uses dsmcutil to update the password.

Then I was about to start the Shared TSM Scheduler on both nodes and the failover now works great. : : Greg Yuzik : : -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fawad Baig Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:42 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM on Windows Cluster Hi, After setting up TSM on a windows cluster it seems that everytime a failover occurs the TSM service on the cluster does not automatically start up. 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Privacy Notice.
