Gianluca,

if you have MSCS cluster set-up according to the TSM client docs you have
to define 3 nodes for active/passive and 4 nodes for active/active
cluster:
Machine 1 - node A (local, small)
Machine 2 - node B (local, small)
Cluster group X - node X (shared, might be big)
(optional) Cluster group Y - node Y (shared, might be big)
Assuming local drives and cluster groups Y, Z, etc. are small and we have
to focus only on group X which is 200 GB. Nodes A, B (local), Y, Z go to
small_domain and node X gets registered in big_domain. Or use management
class pointing to another pool as Alexander suggested.
This is according to books. If we make something proprietary we are on our
own.

Subject:        Re: Win2K cluster question

John,
I'm not sure I understand your question. are you saying you want one
machine in a cluster to be registered to one policy domain and the other
machine in the cluster to be registered to another policy domain? you
would
not be using a cluster this way, what would happen in case of failover?
you
would failover to a machine with a different nodename and different policy
domain, so you would, effectively, be working on a stand alone basis.

Cordiali saluti

We are looking at setting up some win2k clustered TSM clients.
Most of them are fairly small but there is one client with 200gb of data
to
be
backed up.
I want to point all the small clients to use our standard tapepool, with
the big
one pointing to a different tapepool
So the question is :-
Can you have clients within the same cluster registered to different
policy
domains?

Thanks,
John
