Hi again Farren !

Aha ok, two nodenames?

My best guess is that TSM Cluster Scheduler is only backing up the OS.
And TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler is responsible for Exchange backups.

What I do is to use two TSM nodes and two scheduler services on Exchange
servers like you seem to have.
But I only have TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler defined as a cluster
resource.

OS backup is not a part of the cluster and should be defined per host,
which requires two nodenames.


Thanks
Henrik

Hi Henrik, many thanks for that, very helpful.

The reason I'm confused about the 'cluster scheduler' is that we also
have a 'TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler' running, and I assumed it was this
that was responsible for the backups?

Why the need for the two separate schedulers?

Thanks again.

Farren

Hi,

First, de-select "affect group"  in the cluster resource properties for
the TSM Cluster Scheduler in cluster administrator, cluadmin.exe.
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.

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.

Thanks

Farren
