Hi Louw

It's not actually a Netware disk that moves between Netware clustered
servers, it's a Netware Partition which can contain multiple disks. Just to
confuse you, the TSM manual that describes how to set up Netware Cluster
aware backups talks about a "cluster group" when they really mean a Netware
Partition.

The key to getting this to work successfully seems to be to allocate a
dsm.opt file on a disk in that partition, and  define the partition to TSM
as a uniquely named node, that is, do not use the same node name as any of
the physical clustered servers. We do this for a couple of clustered disks
and all seems to work fine.

If you can provide details of how your dsm.opt file is set up I might be
able to help more, but one problem is that our standards are that every
clustered disk lives in its own Netware partition, and I can't remember how
much of our documentation is disk specific and how much is partition
specific. (Understanding the TSM manual was heavy going)
