Joe,

You will need to set up 1 TSM client for each cluster node and 1 TSM client
for each cluster group.
Best to do a simple example on this:

Cluster: 2 Nodes, 3 Groups

Installation Node 1:

TSM Client Local1
TSM Client Group1
TSM Client Group2
TSM Client Group3
Every group has its own schedulers, client acceptors and remote agents
(those of group1-3 have to switch with the cluster)..

Installation Node 2:

TSM Client Local2
TSM Client Group1
TSM Client Group2
TSM Client Group3
(Group 1-3 have to be set up exactly like on Node 1!!)

Hope that helps a little.

regards, Manuel

Here are my questions.
