Initializing the IBM Storage Protect server for a Microsoft Failover Cluster on the primary node

After you install IBM Storage Protect on the nodes in the cluster, you must initialize the server on the primary node.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that all systems are restarted after the installation. Verify that all systems are running correctly.
  2. Log in with an administrator or domain user ID. The domain user must be in the same domain as the IBM Storage Protect server.
  3. Open the Failover Cluster Manager program and verify that the resources are online and owned by the primary node.
  4. Begin the initialization procedure on the primary node in your cluster.
  5. From the Start menu, click All programs > IBM Storage Protect server > Configuration wizard.
  6. Follow the wizard directions, clicking Next to step through the wizard.
    When you are prompted to enter the user ID, enter the name of the domain account to associate with the cluster.
  7. If the initialization completed, click Done.
  8. Set up services on all secondary nodes by issuing the following command for each secondary node:
    C:\windows\system\sc.exe create "IBM Spectrum Protect instance_name" binPath= "server_installation_directory\dsmsvc.exe -k instance_name" start = demand obj=instance_username password = instance_user's password
    For example, issue the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32\sc.exe create "IBM Spectrum Protect SERVER1" binPath= "C:\TSM\Server\dsmsvc.exe -k SERVER1" start= demand obj= tsm13\Administrator password= "PassW0rd"
  9. If your environment has multiple server instances in the cluster, repeat steps 1-8 for each server instance.
