Hoi Del! I understand that using the same TSM node for backing up the Principal and the new Principal after a take-over is a solution. So: if ServerA is the principal, one has to execute the backup script on this server. After a take-over, ServerB becomes the principal and one has to execute the

I don't think you need an external tool. The two ways I can think of are just to run the backup on both nodes, knowing that the backup will fail on the secondary node and succeed on the primary node. Or... in the script, you can use an osql command to query the database state and execute the

Hi Del! I think our SQL guys will go for the second solution. We use a third-party scheduling tool (Control-M) and failing backups will create a problem report. I will forward your suggestion to them. Again, thank you very much for your reply! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch

Again, searching the actlog or the summary table for the restore information is fine as long as what you're looking for is within the retention of the ACTLOGRETENTION and SUMMARYRETENTION values you've set. Or if you're saving the actlog on a regular basis you can search it still. But if it's

Hello, and if you want more granularity, you can also use the REPORTRETRIEVE YES server option. With this option, message ANR0411I will be logged in the TSM activity log when a file is restored. For example : timestamp ANR0411I Session 8 for administrator COLIND-TUC logged in as node COLIND-TUC
