Finally you install a Generic cluster resource for each cluster group that you have a dsm.opt for.

This is important to do since if you do not do this and the password expires then in case of a real failover the service wouldnt come up on the passive node.Then you install your scheduler on both the nodes. You first do this on the active node and then test your connectivity with the TSM Server and then failover and then test your connectivity from the passive node. Also, the dsm.opt should preferably be on a shared drive and specify the drives to be backed up using the DOMAIN option. Basically the only difference between the normal dsm.opt and the dsm.opt for a shared drive is that in the dsm.opt for shared drive you have to specify 'CLUSTERNODE=YES'. For shared drives, its good to have a separate dsm.opt and TSM scheduler for each cluster group that has a shared drive in it. In order to backup your local drives you just need to follow the regular BA Client install procedure. I have done a active-passive cluster install on Windows 2008 and TSM BA 5.5. Is that normal? We expected to see the options we configured during the installation process listed in there, but most of them were default so perhaps it omits those? The dsm.opt file on each node is virtually empty, it only contains 2 lines.

We didn't add a second service to the cluster for the scheduler, but we think we may need to - but we're not sure how to tie it to the other services so they all live on the same active node. We added a Generic Service to the Windows cluster and pointed it at the TSM Client Acceptor and we can connect to the web client through the cluster network name. Neither of them can see the shared storage drives. We tried installing the BA client (web client, client acceptor, and scheduler) on each node. Is that even an accurate understanding of the process? As we understand it, the client acceptor and scheduler need to be associated with that shared storage somehow so that whichever node currently hosts the shared storage will also run the TSM backup.

We want to backup the 2 nodes themselves (local disks) as well as the shared storage that may live on either node at any given time. We tried to follow the TSM w/ Windows 2008 Clusters presentation, but it didn't give much detail and left us where we are now. Even an outline of the entire process start-to-finish would be helpful.

圆4 failover cluster? Everything we've found is either outdated, not for Server 2008, or impossible for the inexperienced to follow.

Is there a clear, detailed tutorial somewhere on how to install the TSM BA Client on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent.
