Thank you very much Del.
I know it is much better to use TSM Server 6.3.3, TSM Client 6.4 and TDPE 
6.4......
But we have TSM Server 5.5.6 and were told by IBM support TDPE 6.4 is not 
certified with TSM Server 5.5.6 and it cannot be used with TSM Client 6.2.4.
So we decided to wait a few weeks till TSM Server is upgraded to 6.3.3.

Hello Grigori,

The first thing I notice is that you said:

   "We also installed TDPE 6.1.3.3"

You should install Data Protection for Exchange 6.4.
This has full DAG support including configuration wizards that will handle all 
of this for you

"backup_archive_client_node" is the NODENAME of the BA Client (DSMAGENT) on the 
actual Exchange Server.
I am guessing these will be "MB1" and "MB2" in your case.

"data_protection_node" is the NODENAME of the DP/Exchange node. I am guessing 
these will be something like "MB1_EXC" and "MB2_EXC" in your case.

You won't need one for the CAS server if you don't have any mailboxes on it.

Again, I really recommend that you install and use Data Protection for Exchange 
6.4 since it has full Exchange Server DAG support including the ability to 
manage all Exchange Server database backups under a common code (DAGNODE).

Thanks,

Del
