Hi Del,

This is all new to me, so please excuse my ignorance to this topic, but I
believe they are CCR clustered pairs.  We have also installed TSM for Copy
Services, but I am going step by step in trying to configure this
environment so that it works.  The more I read into it and try to
understand it the more questions I have and the more confused I am
getting.  We will be doing VSS backups and at this point I'm not sure
which is better: Full or Copy backups.  I got confused from the get go
because it referenced a nodename in the dsm.opt file for the TDP for
Exchange portion where as I am used to it being servername xxxxxxx for our
other TDP for Domino set up.  I guess I'm just trying to figure out how to
configure each piece of software, ba/archive client, tdp for exchange and
TSM for Copy Services, and I am not finding any examples in the books that
show this relationship.

Thanks!

Joni,

Is this Exchange 2007 SCC or CCR clustering?
If you are using SCC (traditional, old-school MSCS clustering),
my recommendation is to make the NODENAME contain the name of the
virtual Exchange server.

Thanks,

Del
