The only explanation is that server1 somehow is getting DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL. Check carefully which dsm.opt is used when cluster instance goes to server1 and are there any DOMAIN options in a optionset associated to that node. If domain all-local gets somehow into "local" node then is have two current copies of shared files. But if cluster resources are backed up as "server1" instead of "cluster" the only way to distinguish which version is the current is checking the date or very-very carefully follow failovers.
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: NT Cluster & TSM Hello, I'd like to ask a question about NT cluster with TSM.. I have got an NT Cluster and the backup is made with TSM. On the TSM server side I've got defined 2 server, each one for each real server: server1 and server2. There are another two server defined for shared disks: disk1(disk f:) and disk2 (disk g:). There are four file spaces: FileSpace Name Node Name \\server1\c$ server1 \\server2\c$ server2 \\cluster\f$ disk1 \\cluster\g$ disk2 The DOMAIN option in the opt files are Server1 DOMAIN C: Server2 DOMAIN C: disk1 DOMAIN F: disk2 DOMAIN G: >From the backup point of view it works fine, the problem arises when the shared disks are moved from one real server to the other. In this situation the shared disks are considered as local disks for the real servers and a full backup of those disks are made, and the file spaces are as follows FileSpace Name Node Name \\server1\c$ server1 \\server1\f$ server1 \\server1\g$ server1 \\server2\c$ server2 \\cluster\f$ disk1 \\cluster\g$ disk2 The creation of the two new file spaces is normal? Is this situation ok? Another problem arises when there is a need of restoring a file: where is the backup of one file residing in disk f:? in \\server1\f$ or in \\cluster\f$ or in both? Which one is the most recent? and other than the last one? Can anyone help me in clarifing those questions? Angel Antsn E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
