This section contains an overview of the steps involved in setting up a TSM cluster.
See your MSCS documentation and the Windows and Cluster Administrator online help for the details of this procedure.
Note: | The MSCS installation requires properly configured hardware. Configure and test each device before you install MSCS. Windows running in a cluster environment requires that, at start-up, the cluster node can locate a domain controller and validate the domain account before cluster time-outs occur. |
Note: | Windows NT, Enterprise Edition, running in a cluster environment requires that, at startup, the cluster node can reach a domain controller and validate the domain account before cluster startup timeouts occur. |
Prepare one or more 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 can choose 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. Test the cluster to ensure proper operation of each node and the shared disk.
On every machine in the cluster, install TSM.
See Chapter 1, Installing Tivoli Storage Manager for details of the installation procedure. We suggest that you do not begin configuring the TSM servers (the next step) until all are installed.
The TSM cluster configuration procedure may vary depending on the node. See Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager for details.
