829.0. "NT SP3/V1.1 Failover Group Problem" by SCASS1::WILSONM () Tue May 27 1997 09:05

    I installed V1.1 clusters on Intel (prioris) boxes running NT4.0 with
    SP3. Everything seems to work as far as failover goes. HOWEVER...I can
    create failover groups only from the console of the system I want to be
    the primary. When I get to the screen where you specify which system
    will be primary, the pulldown box that allows you to choose the owner
    has only the name of the system you are working on. I can't create a
    failover group on system A that will have a primary server as system B
    from the console of system A. I can't create a failover group on system
    B that will have a primary server as system A from the console of
    system B. 
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the cluster software twice. I even
    let the second system discover the cluster and the first system during
    the install to make sure the two were communicating, There is nothing in
    the event logs or any of the files the troubleshooting suggestions and
    the groups can be manually and automatically failed over and returned.
    Is this a SP3 expected behavior? Wait for Wolfpack?

    This should have been "Wait for SP1?".

    The up/down arrows on the "Primary Server" selection box are very tiny. 
    After you select the drop-down arrow on the "primary server" box, try
    positioning your mouse pointer on one of the two parallel bars that
    appear on the right side of the box.  You should be able to select
    either server this way.
