I see you have your answer (in short, it is YES), but wanted to bring to your attention of an issue I had to find out the hard way:
Follow the directions in the book for proper installation and configuration of the cluster-aware "generic service" resource but, be aware that there is a typo in the book, page 23 - you also require the switch /CLUSTERNODE:YES in order for that CLI command to properly install and configure that service. I had to call support on that one, but I do not remember the APAR for it. -----Original Message----- From: Zlatko Krastev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 05, 2002 4:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Win2K cluster question Gianluca, if you have MSCS cluster set-up according to the TSM client docs you have to define 3 nodes for active/passive and 4 nodes for active/active cluster: - Machine 1 - node A (local, small) - Machine 2 - node B (local, small) - Cluster group X - node X (shared, might be big) - (optional) Cluster group Y - node Y (shared, might be big) Assuming local drives and cluster groups Y, Z, etc. are small and we have to focus only on group X which is 200 GB. Nodes A, B (local), Y, Z go to small_domain and node X gets registered in big_domain. Or use management class pointing to another pool as Alexander suggested. This is according to books. If we make something proprietary we are on our own.

Most of them are fairly small but there is one client with 200gb of data to be backed up. I want to point all the small clients to use our standard tapepool, with the big one pointing to a different tapepool So the question is :- Can you have clients within the same cluster registered to different policy domains?
