The Windows B/A Client manual has a good description on how to do this in
one of its appendices.
In general terms, you need to define a separate node name for the data to
be backed up from the new drive; get an option file on the new drive; set
up services (TSM Schedules, Client Acceptor, and Remote Agent) on EACH of
the physical hosts that the vnode can fail over to, and set up cluster
services in Windows' Cluster Administrator to control those services.
Some gotchas: For clustered services, make sure you choose an HTTP port and
TCP client port that are different from those used by all other nodes
within the cluster. Make sure the option file has only the drives for that
vnode in its Domain statement. The set of services on the different
physical hosts for that vnode must have IDENTICAL names (i.e. the service
called "TSM Scheduler: VNODENAME" must be named exactly the same way on
every host that that vnode can fail over to). The local services on each
physical host for the vnode must be set to Manual, not Automatic - they
will be controlled by the cluster services. The most straightforward way to
get the password validated for the services on each physical host is to
fail the vnode over to that physical host before you create the services.
Hope this helps - good luck!

Hi,
Have a question about setting a backup. I've inherited a Tivoli backup
solution and am very slowly getting to grips with it ( have a NetBackup
background) and now need help in setting up a new backup. We've a sql
cluster wdccdb01 which has been set up backup the local drives via each
side of the cluster separately (wdccsq01/02) - The clustered disk
resource hold the SQL database and that backs up the SQL agent, so
there's a dsm.opt file in TSM/baclient locally for each node and a
dsm.opt file in TSM/TDPsql locally on each client. Now we've just put on
another drive to the cluster( non SQL) - First time for me to set up a
new backup - What's the best way to set this backup up
Cheers
Gary
