Hi Gerardo,

Please do the following items, as appropriate:

1) I gather you are running the 3.7.0.0 client. I would recommend
   upgrading to fixtest level 3.7.1.06, which fixes several
   problems including the some cluster-related problems.

   The fixtest can be downloaded from ftp site
   ftp.software.ibm.com. The directory to go to is
   storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/client/v3r7
/Windows/v371/i386/.

   From there you can choose the 'multi' or 'single' directory
   if you want to download one large image, or several smaller
   images (either way, you get the exact same code, it's whichever
   is most convenient for you). Locate the files that begin with
   IP21806_06. Be sure to read IP21806_06.README.FTP file first,
   as it includes download and install information.

   Also, at the top of the IP21806_06.README.FTP file is a list
   of APARs fixed by this fixtest. IC25014 is probably causing
   you the most grief, as it addresses the problem where you get
   message:

   ANS1107E Invalid option/value: '-ClusterNode='Yes''

2) When you install the service on the cluster system, be sure to
   specify /CLUSTERNODE:YES and /GROUP:clustername in the
   DSMCUTIL INSTALL command. "clustername" is the name of the cluster
   in which the machine participates. (Yes, I know that /GROUP is a
   poor name for the option; this should be fixed in an upcoming
   PTF.) Also, the client options file (dsm.opt) that is used by
   this service must have CLUSTERNODE YES in it.

3) When running DSMCUTIL SHOWPW or DSMCUTIL UPDATEPW for the node on
   the cluster machine, you must specify the /CLUSTERNODE:YES and
   /GROUP:clustername, just as you did when you installed the scheduler
   service.

4) Do not "bounce" a node back & forth between CLUSTERNODE YES and
   CLUSTERNODE NO, as this will wreak havoc with the encrypted
   password in the registry (you will see symptoms like disappearing
   node entries in the registry and authentication failures - rc 137 -
   in dsmerror.log). If you configure a node for cluster support, then
   always use the cluster support for that node.

5) The /CLUSTERNODE:YES and /GROUP:clustername options for DSMCUTIL
   are applicable to scheduler services only. The web client services
   (client acceptor, remote client agent) do not support these options.

Best regards,

Andy

"The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked."

I cant' get the scheduled backup to work for the cluster node. Here the
environment:

1. -Cluster name: s_modelo
2. -Nodes: s_coronita and s_moravia
3. -Volumes to backup:
Shared Disk Resource D: located in the 'IPSHA Disk Group 3' group at the
MSCS.
Sahred Disk Resource F: located in the 'Cluster Group' group at the MSCS.

4. -The system account used by the scheduler service is the Administrator
account, having all access privileges for the cluster resources.
5. -I'm using the following command to define the Scheduler Service for a
specific gropu in the cluster:

D:\ADSM\baclient>dsmcutil install /name:"TSM Scheduler Service for IPSHA
Group" /clientdir:d:\adsm\baclient /optfile:d:\adsm\baclient\ipsha_g3.opt
/node:ipshag3 /password:adsm /validate:no /autostart:yes /startnow:yes
/group:\\S_MODELO\

6. -I have tried many options when defining the '/group' parameter, i.e

/group:s_modelo
/group:\\s_modelo\
/grouo:\\s_modelo\d$

7. -If I specify teh option: '/clusternode:yes' when defining the service
with the 'dsmcutil install' command I get the following message at the
'dsmerror.log' file when starting the service:

03/13/2000 15:34:05 ANS1107E Invalid option/value: '-ClusterNode='Yes''
03/13/2000 15:34:20 ANS1107E Invalid option/value: '-ClusterNode='Yes''

8. -The 'dsmcutil list' commmand shows the following:

D:\ADSM\baclient>DSMCUTIL LIST

   2. TSM Remote Client Agent

3 TSM Client Services were located.

9. -The 'dsmcutil query' command shows the following:

specified in the 'dsmcutil install' command.

I think there is a syntax problem when defining the Scheduler
Service parameter for '/group:clustername'. If you take a look
at the 'dsmcutil query' command output there is no value for
'Cluster group name': Cluster group name  = (value not
currently set).

Thanks in advance,
