Hi folks,

        I'm looking for help on why certain local drives are not visible to
the BA client.  The platform is NT 4.0, unknown SP level, with 8 local disks
defined (C, E-K) with full control access by the system account.  When the
BA GUI is started, only the C and E drives show as local drives.  The drives
can be backed up by the command line client using the syntax "sel x:\*
-su=yes".  I am told that the drives F-K are defined to the Microsoft disk
clustering software.
clustering software.

        I'm running Tivoli client level 3.7.1.0 on the client.  The options
file contains entries for a specific directory backup and exclude all other
directories, i. e.

                Exclude F:\...\*
                Include F:\sub-dir\...\*

in this sequence.

        My questions are 1) does anybody have any experience with this type
of environment; 2) is anyone aware of any agent software that can interface
with the clustering software; 3) does anyone have any answers to why a disk
is invisible to the BA client outside the clustering scenario?

        Any help would be greatly appreciated and as an added incentive (?),
I have about 50 *SM scripts I'll give to the winning solution(s).

        Thanks in advance for the many replies I'm sure I'll receive.
