Dirk,
You are correct the Clustered drive is not an issue as you use a
Clustergroup dsm.opt file

What is still an issue is that to backup the NDS you must enter NDS: SYS:
VOL1: in the DOMAIN statement

As I do not have control of the Netware servers I want to backup any drive
what ever it is called without checking each server every night to see if
an Admin has created a new volume

If you specify nothing in the DOMAIN statement the NDS does not get backed
up

If we could go back to the old way of doing things I could just use "Domain
All-Local NDS:" this will backup the NDS and whatever drives are mounted

Kind Regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

I don't know the Netware Cluster but AFAIK you should use separate TSM
client nodes for the local drives and each "clustergroup" (or whatever this
is called in the Netware cluster) and its drives. Each TSM node has its own
dsm.opt and uses as DOMAIN only the drives that are local to him. This way
you don't have to deal with failover issues and available/unavailable
drives on a cluster member.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,

CU/2,

Subject: netware client 5.1.5 cluster support


 --------------------------------------------------------------------------




Hi *sm people:

I have an issue with the latest Netware client 5.1.5

I have been waiting for the cluster support in the 5.1.5 client
Now it seems I can not backup all clustered drives and NDS
I see others have used nds: sys: vol1: etc
I can not specify the drives to backup in the option file because this
varies depending on the failover status of the clustered drives
Does anyone have any ideas?

Regards

Dave
