311.0. "PW32 and clusters V1.1?" by GIDDAY::argus.stl.dec.com::Harkness () Wed May 21 1997 20:08

Hello all,

Just a heads up on how PW32 works with NT clusters...

I had the oppertunity to try NT clusters V1.1 and SP1 beta with PW32
on a pair of Alpha Server 4100's with a SWXCR05 raid unit (NT 4.0 + SP2 
+ Hot Fixes)

The results where interesting enough to tell you all.

I had the cluster working happily for day or so then added PW32, all 
seemed to be working happily ( not much testing time ). Then I needed
to modify the bindings. After this I kept getting Spawn32 startup
errors, even returning the bindings back to the original settings
did not seem to help.

Unfortunatly I did not have enough time to repeat the setup or do 
much in the way of serious fault finding. 

Has anyone else tried this... with any luck or failures??

I had a quick chat to the cluster developers and I do not think 
that they have done any testing with PW32 and clusters.

I suspect some of the issues with spawner may have been delt with in v7.0a,
but... unless we can verify it...

Sounds good though.
