Due to the extra SCSI i/f we had to reboot both halves of the cluster independently. However when the h/w resources where added both halves of the cluster servers were up and running... Rob

We had a similar printing problem on a stadalong NT4 server {IP printing only}. It was a complete nightmare and would just stop servicing printers at random. In the end I think three things solved it... 1) Q243222 2) New printer drivers from HP 3) Static not DHCP Printer IP addresses {who...

Ok, next time the cluster IP address fails try this... {ping by both NAME and IP address } {ie: ping clusterserver, ping 192.77.33.23 } 1) On a non local PC try to ping the cluster server 2) Run 'arp -a' on the non local machine and note its output 3) Run 'nbtstat -R' on the Non local...

No you misunderstand not the private circuit between the two cluster members. All referneces are to the public NIC's and associated switch ROb

Ok, the topology is now clear, With just the issue of how the post switch PC's know the IP addresses of the cluster servers remaining. Out of interest when the machines on the public LAN can't see the cluster server can they pin the cluster servers peer's {ie: the local PC's} Rob

If the network card were being put into low power it could be a problem. However as the address can be ping'd from the local LAN then it looks like this isn't the problem! So what you are saying is... {Get the * to line up vertically and the pic should appear} LAN A...

Sorry thats misleading, should have said that it all worked OK, after both machines were rebooted. However when one machine was rebooted the other could not successfully pick up its resources {until it too was rebooted} Rob

Sounds good, try moving the IP address to the other half of the cluster when you next loose the IP address! I assume any power saving modes have been turned off etc... ROb

I had a simular problem, when we made the resource come 'online' the server blue screened!!! However after a reboot of both nodes in the cluster it worked fine. BUT be warned I found that the other node in the cluster could not take control of the resource group because the new resource...

Sounds like a memory leak, do you have all the latest SP's loded on both machines? Which machine of the pair own's the IP address as far as the cluster admin is concerned? If you move the Cluster IP address over to the other machine does it come back into life? Is the IP address in a...

I think you will find that they work differently. Compaq's solution has the recovery server all booted but not doing anything. When the main server drops dead the recovery server is started and takes over its tasks. The MS solution has both servers up and working with the load spread over...
