Hai Joni,

I had try the simple configuration for TDP Exchange backup with a cluster
environment.
In my case there're 2 cluster and 1 mailbox. I installed TSM Client & TDP
for both cluster.
The point is, like set up a non cluster (don't set the clusternode in
dsm.opt to yes, set it to "NO").
I set the same node name for both server and set the same config for the
client & tdp exchange, but we have to make sure that the tsm services are
running for the active cluster (set all the tsm services dependent to
cluster failover service).

Subject: [ADSM-L] Setting up TDP for Mail for an Exchange server

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of trying to set up a Windows 2008 Exchange server for
TDP for Mail/Exchange backup client which is a clustered server.  I have
gone through the manuals, but I think I am still confusing myself.  When
Setting this up, is the only file that need to be customized the dsm.opt
file?  And in this file it says nodename, is that the name of the Exchange
instance?  Or the TSM ba/archive client name?  I have the following:

Exchange Dev Mailbox Servers

                                                                 Cluster
1
Host Names                                       HMEXMB01N1  HMEXMB01N2D
Windows Failover Cluster        HMEXMB01CD  HMEXMB01CD
Cluster Mailbox Service (CMS)   HMEXMB01D    HMEXMB01D

I guess I'm more used to a Linux Domino instance where the dsm.opt file
has servername xxxxxxxxx and in this case it is nodename.  If anyone has
an example of their set up and would be willing to share I would really
appreciate it!!!!  Thanks in advance!
