Fellow TSMers,

I am setting up TSM 5.2.3 on a two node, W2K active/active cluster (no
shared libraries as all  backups are running to disk only). I have
successfully created my first virtual server on both cluster nodes with no
problems. I have successfully created the first half of the second virtual
server with no problems. Creating the second half of the second virtual
server is giving me grief.

On the second cluster node I have run the Initial Configuration wizard to
configure the new virtual server. The server initializes correctly then
runs the Cluster Configuration Wizard. A screen is displayed asking "Do
you want to configure TSM to manage tape failover for this group?" - the
instructions tell me that there is nothing I can do here as the answer is
retrieved from the first virtual server created. Clicking next give me the
following error message:

        "The selected autochanger is not on a valid shared SCSI bus with
the selected node".

Looking at the greyed out options the checkbox for "Configure TSM to
manage tape failover" is selected and I can't change it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards,
