Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question
Hi all again I am still (I think) having issues with this, although due to another issue which is nothing to do with me, I can't even get onto the servers in question to do more digging. I have a question though regarding the schedulers. In this case we have a cluster called CHI-MB with two cluster nodes (CHI-MB01 and CHI-MB02). Now, when stopping/starting the scheduler/s in question do I make sure to do this from the actual cluster (CHI-MB)? Sorry my terminology is off because I'm not the system administrator for this kit, just TSM. Will this then effect the active node? And if so, is there some mechanism in place that starts the scheduler on the passive node if there is a failover?

Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question
Hi Farren Both of servers in the cluster will have a utility called Cluster administrator, you must use this to start and stop the TSM scheduler services for the backups on the clustered drives, if you stop them via computer manager (services.msc) then you could cause the cluster to fail to the other node. The cluster administrator utility should automatically start the services on the other node in the case of a failover. If you want to restart the TSM scheduler for the local drive backups then you can do this in the same manner as a non-cluster server. cheers Phil From: Minns, Farren - Chichester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 02/07/2008 10:19 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM Cluster Scheduler Question Hi all again I am still (I think) having issues with this, although due to another issue which is nothing to do with me, I can't even get onto the servers in question to do more digging.

Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question
Hi Henrik, many thanks for that, very helpful. The reason I'm confused about the 'cluster scheduler' is that we also have a 'TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler' running, and I assumed it was this that was responsible for the backups?

Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question
Hi again Farren ! Aha ok, two nodenames? My best guess is that TSM Cluster Scheduler is only backing up the OS. And TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler is responsible for Exchange backups. What I do is to use two TSM nodes and two scheduler services on Exchange servers like you seem to have. But I only have TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler defined as a cluster resource. OS backup is not a part of the cluster and should be defined per host, which requires two nodenames.

The reason I'm confused about the 'cluster scheduler' is that we also have a 'TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler' running, and I assumed it was this that was responsible for the backups? Why the need for the two separate schedulers? Thanks again.

Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question
Hello Ah OK, that makes sense. I just checked and the TSM CHI-MB Cluster RG Scheduler points to a standard looking dsm.opt file although we don't do normal backups on these servers anyway (yes). The TSM Exchange TDM Cluster RG Scheduler points to \Tivoli\TSM\TDPExchange\dsm.opt that contains the nodename CHI-MB-EXCH. I know that this is the nodename referenced with the actual exchange backups. Thanks for your help with this, took a bit of getting my head around.
