Thanks David - I did see the document and have been reading over it.
I just have a few more questions, if you would not mind. :) How is the utilization on your cluster for this? Also, how many objects are on your cluster total? How many changes are made? <in other words, how active is this server?> Thanks again -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: David McClelland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 6:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Journaling on a cluster Terry, Yes, we use TSM JBB's on an MSCS Win2K AS server - it's a production system, and since we've got the JBB's up and running properly (a few probs to begin with) we haven't experienced a failover to the 'B' system to see how the JBB's respond. Since 5.1 client there is a PreserveDBonexit setting which is designed to keep the journal alive if the tsmjbbd daemon goes down, and should keep the journal valid during a failover. We have a floating TSM client that goes with the clustered drive, and the journal database for the clustered drive lives on the clustered drive (change the JouranalDir=... in the tsmjbbd.ini options file under the [JournaledFileSystemSettings.X:\] stanza). We're using TSM Client 5.1.6.7. Check out the 'IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide Appendix D around p410,412 for more details on getting JBB's to work with MSCS.

If so, any information, problems, etc, would be helpful. I do know how to set it up, but just am curious about your experience with it. We have a cluster that takes 16 hours to inspect 9million files, but it only backs up maybe 30k to 50k of these. We are thinking about using the journaling cluster service for v 5.2.2.
