Re: TSM win2k cluster install

I have a win2k cluster as well. We currently have the local
backup/archive client backing up each associated resource on each
cluster node. I want to configure TSM for failover services as well.
My understanding of the install goes like this:
1. Install the b/a client on both cluster nodes.
2. Create a local dsm.opt file for each cluster node and schedule
service.
3. Create an additional dsm.opt file(with clusternode=yes) for each
cluster group and place it on a resource drive the opt file is
associated with.(make sure the proper resource drives are failed over to
each clusternode to ensure access)
4. Create a seperate schedule for each cluster group. I.e. If you
have: svrA, svrB, clusternodeA, clusternodeB. There would be 3
schedules on each server: SVRA: svrAsched, clusternodeAsched,
clusternodeBsched. SVRB: svrBsched, clusternodeAsched,
clusternodeBsched.
5. Create a Generic Service on each Clustergroup to handle failover.
My question is by creating seperate groups for the TSM backups, does
that handle failover more gracefully? I ask this because we had issues
on first attempt of failover and backed out of the procedure to do more
research. I am not terribly familiar with MS Cluster so if this is a
stupid question I apologize in advance.
