Steps required to setup the TSM Journaling Service in a MSCS environment http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1019&context=SSSQWC&context=SSG SG7&q1=Journal+Service+Cluster&uid=swg21167834&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en I've worked with TSM Journalling in MSCS clusters in the past, and it's *okay* on the whole, but I'd recommend some good monitoring to make sure the journal service is up/running as expected, and also to run a non-journalled backup at intervals (e.g. once a week, once a month perhaps - iirc the option '-nojournal' might be your friend here) using MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES as Mr Coles suggests. HTH, /David Mc London, UK -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Johnny Lea Sent: 26 October 2009 15:00 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM journaling Will not the PreserveDBOnExit=1 setting keep the journal active during a failover and prevent a full backup? I hope so cause I just set up journaling on a cluster and was counting on this. Johnny >>> Howard Coles <howard.co...@ardenthealth.com> 10/26/2009 9:40 AM >>> We tried this for a while, and I can dig up the docs on exactly how to set this up on an older Windows cluster. However, I would highly recommend using the memoryefficient backup with disk cache method instead. Every time the cluster fails over you'll have to do another full normal backup, which may or may not work due to the sheer number of files causing the inventory to fill up memory. With the disk cache method it's a little slower, but it doesn't have to start over every time you fail over or reboot.
