Didn't get any replies so I thought I'd give this one more try...............




Has anyone ever merged two filespace names for the same node?  I have a
situation on one of my Windows NT clients which is a MSCS config.  I upgraded
the NT client from ADSM 3.1.0.6, which was not MS-Cluster aware, to TSM
V3.7.1.06(fixtest) which support for Microsoft cluster server.  What's happened
as a result of installing the cluster aware client is the filespace name for the
shared drive resource has changed from \\servername\d$ to \\clustergroupname\d$.
Now all backups since the upgrade are being stored to the new filespace name and
I'm stuck with two filespaces for the same drive.
I'm getting a lot of blank looks from our Help Desk staff that perform the
restores when I try to explain that if they want older backups they should
select from the old filespace name if they need the newer backups then use the
new file space name.

So back to my original question. Is there anyway to merge these two filespaces
which are actually the same drive? They've just ended up being stored under two
different names old and new. Some magic with renaming nodes and/or import/export
maybe?

Thanks
