Dean, et al. Talk about mixed results! There are three nodes in the test cluster here, each hosting at least one NSS volume. I've run backups on two of these using the domain all-local and/or the domain all-local nds: statement. One node backs up nds:, sys: and nss volume just fine. The other does not even attempt to back up the nss volume, doesn't even bring it up after the scan. I haven't checked with the NW admins to see if these guys are set up differently but that sure seem odd.
Haven't gotten to clusternode options yet. Have you guys gotten any other responses on this?
