Hello Timothy, The documentation for the clustering on the Novell client is... sparse and a touch old.
We've got two NetWare 6.5 clusters, a 2 node and a 4 node, with ~25 cluster nodes. We run an instance of the DSMCAD for the sever itself on the standard port. We then have a DSMCAD instance for each cluster node and they have port numberrs assigned alphabetically (nodeA 1582, nodeB 1583,....etc). So the path to web client (the client node URL) would be: http://[NetWare Cluster resource IP]:[assigned port number] There's a /Tivoli folder on each cluster node for the .OPT file, password, and the various logs. Here's a typical .OPT file for a cluster node: * ADMIN Volume * Communications settings * ------------------------------------------------------- * Setting Options for the TCP/IP Communication Method * ------------------------------------------------------- * COMMMETHOD TCPip TCPSERVERADDRESS [tsm server name] TCPPORT 1500 * Setting Nodename * ------------------------------------------------------- NODENAME adminXXXXX DOMAIN ADMIN: CLUSTERNODE YES ERRORLOGNAME ADMIN:/Tivoli/dsmerror.log SCHEDLOGNAME ADMIN:/Tivoli/schedlog.log PASSWORDDIR ADMIN:/Tivoli/ SCHEDMODE POLLING HTTPPORT 1582 * EXCLUDES * QUIET PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE ERRORLOGRETENTION 7 SCHEDLOGRETENTION 7 MANAGEDSERVICES WEBCLIENT SCHEDULE We have the cluster node DSMCADs polling the TSM server every hour for the backup window so they're not tangled up in the sever schedules. We've also modified our Cluster Resource Load and Unload scripts. The DSMCAD gets loaded right at the end of the load script and unloaded right at the start of the unload script. We add a delay of about 10 seconds to pad that out. What I need to do is make the cluster DSMCADs load and unload in a more fine-grained manner. I know some folks copy and rename DSMCAD.NLM to DSMCAD1.NLM, etc so the cluster scripts can on act on that specific instance. I hope that helps a bit.

If not do you know Where I can get some documentation the latest redbook covering Clustering only covers Aix, Linux and windows. Thanks for any replies, suggestions, help etc Novel 6.5 TSM 5.3.1
