Hi everybody,

We recently switched to a new server design based on node replication. My 
Windows users always used scripts which went through all TSM/SP servers to find 
the right one by just trying to connect to them, one by one. As soon as the 
dsmc q sess command returned return code 0, it found the right server. This 
always worked, until we switched to node replication. Now all of a sudden, 
there are two servers which return rc=0, but only one of them can be used for 
backups, the primary replication server.
I have been struggling to find a way how to determine which server is the 
primary and which is the replica server. I noted that if you connect to the 
correct server, the last line of the query session output is "Configured for 
failover to server <SERVERNAME>". If you connect to the replica, the last line 
is "Not configured for failover".
Now I need to find a way (preferably though PowerShell) to read this last line 
and generate a rc=0 if it contains "Configured for failover to server" and a 
higher return code if it contains "Not configured for failover". Has anybody 
with Windows scripting knowledge has any idea how to do this?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Kind regards,
