The short answer is that TSM indeed can backup Netware Clusters.  I have
TSM 4.2.3.4 server and backup Netware 6.0 clusters.  You need minimum 
client 5.1.5.0 for the Cluster option, 5.1.6.0 better.  If you have any Netware
clients now, just look at the TSM Netware manual and it explains setup.

(When you actually get there, some of us can provide extra tips for the Netware
Admins on some config steps.)

I don't know about ZenWorks.

Big changes are coming to my company on the network side.  These changes
include ZenWorks for Desktops and Novell Cluster Services with a SAN.
Currently our TSM Server is version 5.1.7 on an MVS/OS390 and backs-up
many clients of assorted platforms and a couple of Domino TDPs.   Now all
but one of the Novell servers will be going to the Cluster Services with
the SAN.  Yesterday I was approached by the project manager to draw up a
plan for backing up the SAN and ZenWorks.  Said that they would probably
have to go with Veritas because of the Snapshot capability.  Does anyone
out there already have this type of environment?  If so how are you
handling the backups?  Somehow I can't imagine TSM not being able to back
up anything.  Is it a matter of using both TSM & Veritas?  Does anyone
know where I can find some documents on this subject?  Any help at all
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Shannon
