Hi All,

I am new to DB2 & HACMP and I am going to setup ADSM backup for DB2 (v5.2)
in AIX/HACMP environment (NodeA primary, NodeB secondary).

1 ADSM/DB2 backup question:
I have exported DSMI_DIR, DSM_DIR, DSMI_CONFIG, DSM_CONFIG to point to
different set of dsm.sys and dsm.opt; but it seems that
"db2 backup db dbname online use adsm"
always look for dsm.sys & dsm.opt in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin. If I
remove dsm.sys & dsm.opt under .../api/bin/, backup failed.
However, db2adutl is using the set pointed by DSMI_DIR ...
Have I done something wrong such that DSMI_CONFIG & DSMI_DIR take no effect
to db2 backup command?

2. ADSM setup in HACMP:
I desire to backup DB2 using ADSM nodename NodeA, so backup will be saved
under filespaces of ADSMNode NodeA no matter it is running on primary or
secondary machine and that will ease future db2/adsm expiration. So I will
set ADSM_NODENAME & ADSM_PASSWORD in db2 by "db2 upd db config
ADSM_NODENAME  NodeA" and password = prompt in dsm.sys
Any comment on my approach?  About the ADSM nodename, is it a matter NodeA
or NodeB should I use for filesystem backup & db2 backup.

Eric Tang
