2096.0. "LINKworks on VMS cluster" by TAV02::CHAIM (Semper ubi Sub ubi .....) Tue Jan 28 1997 08:58

I would appreciate it if someone could please reply with information on how
LINKworks on OpenVMS/ALPHA runs vis-a-vis a cluster.

1. Can the mgmt/cell run on the cluster or is it restricted to one node
2. Can a connect be made from the client to a cluster alias
3. What if each node in the cluster has its own system disk
4...

Thanks,

Cb.

Hi,

LinkWorks out-of-the-box has no cluster support. You can instal it on any node of a cluster, but 
it has to run also on that node. You can have cells on each node . So it behaves as if the 
systems in the cluster are single systems. There is no fail-over functionality.
For one project engineering is working on a fail-over solution. It is not decided yet if this 
solution will be part of the standard kit and if so when. If you realy need a fail-over solution, 
please use the normal channels for Engineering Dependancy Requests.
