All nodes housing the failover service should have the service set to manual. What I have come across in situations like this is the password has not been set properly on the other nodes which causes the service to fail when starting. You should look at your logs and see what the messages are telling you.

I set the tsm service(s).... "client acceptor", tsm scheduler service".... startup type="MANUAL" for all the cluster nodes. For the purpose of failover I thought this was the way to go. EXAMPLE: Client machine#1 goes down for x reason the resources shift to one of the other available nodes in the cluster. My schedule will run on the node that currently has the resource assigned. PROBLEM: If we are installing window patches + we reboot a node (the tsm schedule services are not automatically restarted, We end up with missed schedule. Can we run tsm window cluster backups with all the nodes (physical, virtual) TSM services running in "automatic" mode ? (what is the negative). ps: I'm using schedmode = prompted Gary
