Hi all

This is only peripherally a TSM question,  but I'm hoping someone may have
come across it.

I'm setting up TDP for Exchange backups on a Windows 2008 Exchange 2007 CCR
cluster. This is a different way of doing things than the old MSCS cluster.
I intend to run VSS+TSM backups on the passive side of the cluster and am
writing some jscript code to run the underlying commands.  The only way I
can see to schedule this is to run the schedule on both of the cluster
machines and perform a null op on the active side.

So, how can I determine if the node I'm running on is active or passive?  I
can access WMI information from jscript but need to know precisely what to
interrogate.


Thanks


Steve
