Re: Netware Client 5.1.5 cluster support
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?

Re: netware client 5.1.5 cluster support
Guys, Is the issue what you want to back up from the local node vs. the clustered volumes?. The reason I ask is the domain all-local nds: statement does work as long as the colon is included. At least it works on a standalone box, I need to try an NDS backup on a clustered node. What I'm still wrestling with is how to point to a separate optfile on a cluster volume. I keep getting invalid option optfile vol:\folder\file msg. I'd like to hear how you have thing set up for your clustergroup.

Re: netware client 5.1.5 cluster support
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 Dirk Billerbeck cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Subject: Re: netware client 5.1.5 cluster support Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] U> 25/10/2002 11:51 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" 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.

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.
