Validate and backup

---

Follow these steps to validate and back up your configuration.

Test failover

Open the cluster manager and initiate a failover. Verify that the oserv service starts on each node. If failover works, bring down the oserv on each node and verify that the cluster will fail over successfully. If the backup of the Tivoli databases works, it means that you have successfully installed Framework 3.7b on a Windows cluster.

Back up the Tivoli databases

This is the most important part of the installation-if all the validation tests are positive, back up your Tivoli databases by running the wbkupdb command.
