Hi Riaan,
TSM does treat the cluster resources correctly - making it cluster aware, as
far as my requirements go.
Although you load the TSA with the /cluster=off it is cluster aware and will
treat
the disks as logical units and treat fail-over to the other nodes in the
cluster
correctly.
This is discussed in great detail in the TSM 5.2 client manuals.
