Re: Multiple Definitions for a single Node

1.  Yes.  For each server stanza in your DSM.SYS file, you can start the
scheduler by running "dsmc sched -se=servername".  You can do this as many
times as necessary.
2.  No, there is no limitation.  The only suggestion in this enviorment is
to use the Shared Memory protocol.

Multiple Definitions for a single Node

[HK Chng]

Hi all TSMers,
We have a H70 box ( AIX 4.3.3 )serving as the TSM server ( TSM version
3.7.3 ) and as well as a client ( TSM 3.7.0 ). The reason being the H70
is connected directly to an EMC symmetrix machine and we would like to
utilise the BCV feature to backup all disks from servers connected to
the EMC similarly. Due to the different backup requirements, I defined
diferent Policy Domains and management classes and also defined
different node definitions for my client (also the TSM server).
However, when I scheduled the backup jobs and assigned different node
to each schedule, the backups were not initiated. doing a Q EV * *, I
find them in pending states perpetually. Setting the SCHEDMODE=PROMPT or
shortening the randomization time doesn't help. I tried that on an NT
client with multiple node definitions and it worked provided I used
DSMCUTIL to install different client schedulers for each node
definition. However, I can't find any way to tag the client scheduler on
AIX to particular nodes. Question :

1. Can more than 1 client scheduler exists within the tsm/client server
?
2. Is there some limitations to the above method when the TSM server is
also the client ?
