APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When products that extend Microsoft Cluster Service are used,
  the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client might not be
  able to process the cluster disk resources.
  
  Backups of these cluster resources report that they are both not
  a local disk and not a cluster disk depending on which
  CLUSTERNODE setting being used, YES or NO.
  
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  
  When a backup is run the client will report the following errors
  when attempting to backup these resources.
  
  When CLUSTERNODE YES and CLUSTERDISKONLY YES
  
  ANS1228E Sending of object '\\testsystem.ibm.com\o$' failed
  
  ANS1151E '\\testsystem.ibm.com\o$' is not a cluster disk.
  
  
  When CLUSTERNODE NO and CLUSTERDISKONLY NO
  
  ANS1228E Sending of object '\\testsystem.ibm.com\o$' failed
  
  ANS1668E The '\\testsystem.ibm.com\o$' is not a local disk.
  
  
  Third party products that extend Microsoft Cluster Service
  capabilities might change the disk cluster resource type name
  from "Physical Disk" to something else. Products such as
  "VisionSolutions DoubleTake Availability" will have cluster
  resource types such as "Geo Cluster" which will not be
  recognized by the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive
  client as a valid resource type to process.
  
  
  Due to a change in the way cluster resources are evaluated with
  the 6.3.0.0 and higher client code levels, the client will not
  recognize these resource type as cluster disks and will not back
   them up as such.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Windows 6.3 6.4 7.1
  
  Initial Impact:
  low
  
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM MSCS cluster 'geo cluster' 'Double Take'
