Troubleshooting configuration errors in a failover clustered environment

If you encounter errors when you configure a failover clustered environment, determine whether the options in the backup-archive client and application-specific dsm.opt files are specified correctly.

1. When you are configuring IBM Storage Protect Snapshot as a stand-alone configuration, verify that the same path to the VSSALTSTAGINGDIR directory is specified in the backup-archive client options file, baclient\dsm.opt, and in the IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for SQL Server options file, tdpsql\dsm.opt.
2. Verify that the VSSALTSTAGINGDIR path in the dsm.opt files points to a directory on a shared disk or cluster shared volume that all cluster nodes can access.
3. In the Data Protection and IBM Storage Protect Snapshotdsm.opt files, verify that the option for the CLUSTERNODE parameter is set to yes.
   When you work in a cluster environment, from the command-line interface, the Volume GUID is not displayed for volumes that are clustered disks. The clustered disk is displayed.
