Hello



Ah OK, that makes sense.



I just checked and the TSM CHI-MB Cluster RG Scheduler points to a standard 
looking dsm.opt file although we don't do normal backups on these servers 
anyway (yes).



The TSM Exchange TDM Cluster RG Scheduler points to 
\Tivoli\TSM\TDPExchange\dsm.opt that contains the nodename CHI-MB-EXCH. I know 
that this is the nodename referenced with the actual exchange backups.



Thanks for your help with this, took a bit of getting my head around.



Regards



Farren

Hi again Farren !



Aha ok, two nodenames?



My best guess is that TSM Cluster Scheduler is only backing up the OS.

And TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler is responsible for Exchange backups.



What I do is to use two TSM nodes and two scheduler services on Exchange

servers like you seem to have.

But I only have TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler defined as a cluster

resource.



OS backup is not a part of the cluster and should be defined per host,

which requires two nodenames.





Thanks

Henrik

Hi Henrik, many thanks for that, very helpful.



The reason I'm confused about the 'cluster scheduler' is that we also

have a 'TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler' running, and I assumed it was this

that was responsible for the backups?



Why the need for the two separate schedulers?



Thanks again.



Farren

Hi,



First, de-select "affect group"  in the cluster resource properties for

the TSM Cluster Scheduler in cluster administrator, cluadmin.exe.

This prevents the whole cluster to failover when the TSM service stops

due to whatever.. ex. bad password.



Verify that the correct registry parameter is replicated as a part of

the cluster resource:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\Nodes\

<nodename>\<TSM server instance name>



Consider to set passexp=0 on the TSM server for the Exchange node.



Update PW on both cluster nodes.



"what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do?"

Backing up Exchange? :-) You will find the answer if you search on the

nodename and schedule in TSM.

Hi All



TSM 5.4.1.2 on Solaris 2.9

Backing up Exchange (MS Windows Server 2003, RC2 SP") - 5.5.0.0 in a

clustered environment.



We had this set up by an outside company and are now seeing some

problems with the TSM Cluster Scheduler automatically failing over the

cluster due to a password issue (this is as far as I can see anyway).



So, the dumb question, what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do?

I can see there is a separate schedule for the Exchange TDP backups.



Thanks



Farren
