Cluster backup - Password not set

[Gotti]

We are setting up a backup on a cluster and when we configure the Scheduler Service on Node 1 (or Node 2 for that matter) we type the following command:



C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient>dsmcutil install sched /name:"TSM Scheduler Service: Server-A" /clientdir:"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\Tsm\Baclient" /optfile:Q:\TSM\DSM.OPT /node:Server-A /password:hello /validate:yes /autostart:yes /clusternode:yes /clustername:SERVERCLU



After typing this I get the following confirmation that everything was successful:

Registry password for node Server-A = '2' .

Password Authentication failed.



WHY WAS THE PASSWORD CHANGED TO 2. Removed the service and tried it again and I get something different everytime. One time it was P1| I dont see where this comes from. But because of this my service fails with a incorrect password in the dsmerrorlog.

Hi there,



is the drive Q: you quorum Drive ?



1. You should not have the DSM.OPT file in the Quorum drive.

2. Do you have CLUSTENODE YES in that DSM.OPT file

3. Do you have passwordaccess Generate in the DSM.OPT file



To have the Passwd on both clustenodes the same try the following :



Copy the DSM.OPT file on that disk that you want to backup.

Run the DSMCUTIL command but /autostart:NO on Cluternode-A

move group

Run the DSMCUTIL command but /autostart:NO on Cluternode-B

run dsmc -optfile=[path to your opt file]

you will be asked for the Passwd

Do this on both Clusternodes.

Then use Cluadmin to install the Cluster-resource.



I hope that helps
