559.0. "legato server and cluster client" by BRSADV::BUGGENHOUT () Tue Apr 08 1997 06:36

A customer has a Sun Legato server and they tested a Digital Unix client
with it and it is working OK but 

they have also a Digital UNIX cluster.
As far as I could find out there are no cluster clients from Legato for
Digital UNIX but still Legato told the customer it should work.
Anyone made it work ?

Thanks

TIME OUT !!

Let me be VERY clear here:

Digital are the ONLY vendors who produce NetWorker client software
for the Digital UNIX platform.  Period.

Thus, if they have a recent Digital UNIX NetWorker client, that means
that it is from us, and it WILL work correctly with clusters.

One of the cornerstones of the Legato architecture is that ANY client
should back up correctly to ANY server.  To my knowledge we have not
broken that.

The ONLY piece that is missing when you back up a TruCluster to a non-Digital
server is that the server will not recognize the cluster services as being
a part of the same cluster.  Thus, your Sun server will charge you one
connection license for each cluster host, AND for each service being backed up.

Other than that, it'll all work.

Manu,

I hid your note because it could be interpreted as saying that
a Digital UNIX cluster could not be backed up correctly to 
a non-Digital server.  This is not the case, and I did not
want any incorrect impressions to go out.
