Hi, For the 4.1 / 7.1 release, we started to improve the technical content re: configuring clustered environments. The content is published as part of the FlashCopy Manager for Windows 4.1 update:
Configure clustered environments - http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.fcm.win.doc%2Fr_fcm_configure_cluster.html This topic includes information about how to set up a clustered environment for Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for SQL with a Tivoli Storage Manager configuration. The detailed instructions have been used by multiple teams and we've received positive feedback. If you find the information helpful or lacking, I want to know so we can continue to improve. You can post to this listserv or use the Feedback link on the page to submit feedback that I can respond to in a timely manner. I want to write similar instructions for the next update of the TDP for SQL. In the meantime, I do not know of any plans to update the IBM Redbook that you referenced (Backing up Microsoft SQL Server with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager; http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246148.html). If I find out that this publication is going to be updated, I can post an update.
