Hi
 
If this is a Microsoft Cluster, you should have some kind of cluster group. However, it doesn't have to contain any disk resources. Disk resources are not necessary to use TSM cluster services. All you have to have is a MS cluster group. The client shouldn't be running at both cluster nodes at the same time, as this will endanger the possibility of restoring the cluster.
 
Just install TSM client software on both nodes, add the necessary resources(See Using TSM in a clustered Windows environment), which should be attached to the correct cluster group
 
Best Regards

Subject: Backing up NT server with print queues

We have a client with the following configuration:

2 NT servers running in a cluster. These servers are for the entire
enterprise's printer definitions. The run this in a cluster for fail-over
capability, so the users can still print even if a server goes down.

They want to be able to backup and recover this print server with TSM.Since
I don't believe that there is any disk cluster resources, I would think that
if we were to just run the B/A client on each server in the cluster and back
it up, they would be able to re-create this environment in the event of a
total site disaster.

Anyone have ANY suggestions of how to back and/or recover in this scenerio?

TIA,
