Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Quick Start


Preparing Cluster Groups

Each TSM server instance requires a cluster resource group. The group must contain only disk resources. You can create a new group and move disk resources to it. You may choose just to rename an existing resource group that contains only disk resources. Use the Cluster Administrator program on the computer that owns the shared disk resource. This will be the active node. See the Cluster Administrator help for more information about planning groups.

From the Microsoft Cluster Administrator, do the following:

  1. Ensure that the groups have been given distinctive names. For example, TSMSERVER1 and TSMSERVER2.
    Note:Do not change the group names after this step. A name change could cause a corrupt configuration.
  2. Ensure that all nodes in the cluster are online. The minimum requirement is two nodes.
  3. Ensure that the group is online and owned by the node where you will be installing the initial server instance. Move groups as needed. All disk resources in the group must also be online.
    Note:The system restart will cause ownership of groups to change, you must move the group back to the node where TSM will be configured.

You can now configure TSM for the cluster
