Thanks Farren -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phillip Burgess Sent: 02 July 2008 11:55 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM Cluster Scheduler Question Hi Farren Both of servers in the cluster will have a utility called Cluster administrator, you must use this to start and stop the TSM scheduler services for the backups on the clustered drives, if you stop them via computer manager (services.msc) then you could cause the cluster to fail to the other node. The cluster administrator utility should automatically start the services on the other node in the case of a failover. If you want to restart the TSM scheduler for the local drive backups then you can do this in the same manner as a non-cluster server. cheers Phil ________________________________ From: Minns, Farren - Chichester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 02/07/2008 10:19 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM Cluster Scheduler Question Hi all again I am still (I think) having issues with this, although due to another issue which is nothing to do with me, I can't even get onto the servers in question to do more digging. I have a question though regarding the schedulers. In this case we have a cluster called CHI-MB with two cluster nodes (CHI-MB01 and CHI-MB02). Now, when stopping/starting the scheduler/s in question do I make sure to do this from the actual cluster (CHI-MB)? Sorry my terminology is off because I'm not the system administrator for this kit, just TSM. Will this then effect the active node? And if so, is there some mechanism in place that starts the scheduler on the passive node if there is a failover?

It happened several times in our shop already ! IBM noticed the problem, and published a solution here : http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21243061 May be of interest for you ! Cheers.

This prevents the whole cluster to failover when the TSM service stops due to whatever.. ex. bad password. Verify that the correct registry parameter is replicated as a part of the cluster resource: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\Nodes\ <nodename>\<TSM server instance name> Consider to set passexp=0 on the TSM server for the Exchange node. Update PW on both cluster nodes. "what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do?" Backing up Exchange? :-) You will find the answer if you search on the nodename and schedule in TSM. //Henrik -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Minns, Farren - Chichester Sent: den 1 juli 2008 11:31 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Cluster Scheduler Question Hi All TSM 5.4.1.2 on Solaris 2.9 Backing up Exchange (MS Windows Server 2003, RC2 SP") - 5.5.0.0 in a clustered environment. We had this set up by an outside company and are now seeing some problems with the TSM Cluster Scheduler automatically failing over the cluster due to a password issue (this is as far as I can see anyway). So, the dumb question, what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do? I can see there is a separate schedule for the Exchange TDP backups.
