Hi Robert,
You should look in the User's Guide for DP/Exchange 6.4.
There are specific sections about Exchange 2010 DAG setup.
It documents the DAGNODE setup. Here is an excerpt from the book:
6. If you created a node name for backing up databases in an Exchange
Server
Database Availability Group (DAG), ensure that the following tasks are
complete.
a. Register the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client and DAG
node
names and passwords with the Tivoli Storage Manager register node
command.
b. Ensure that the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator issues the
grant
proxynode command for each member server in the DAG to grant
permission for the DAG node to act as a proxy to back up all the DAG
members. If the configuration wizard is not used to configure the
Tivoli
Storage Manager server, the proxies need to be defined. In addition,
the
backup archive client node and the Data Protection node need
proxynode
authority. The backup archive client node also needs proxynode
authority to
act on behalf of the Data Protection node. For example, the Tivoli
Storage
Manager administrator can issue the following commands on the Tivoli
Storage Manager server:
register node backup_archive_client_node password
register node data_protection_node password
grant proxynode target=data_protection_node
agent=backup_archive_client_node
register node DAG_node password
grant proxynode target=DAG_node agent=backup_archive_client_node
grant proxynode target=DAG_node agent=data_protection_node
Here is a link to full document:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r4/topic/com.ibm.itsm.mail.exc.doc/b_dp_mail_exc_guide_win.pdf
The DAGNODE name does not go in any of the DSM.OPT file.
It is a virtual node.
Take a look at the section titled "Database Availability
Group backup best practices" to get the other items to be aware of.
Thanks,
Del
