849.0. "ARCserver, Management interface crashes" by 42080::HARRINGTONM () Tue Jun 03 1997 00:33

    I have a 4100 NT Cluster V1.1
    NT 4 SP3
    SQL 6.5 SP2 + SQL Agent
    
    I'm having problems with ARCserver backing up SQL databases on the
    shared media.
    
    The local SQL objects can be seen OK, but when I try to select a
    database on the "S:" drive the ARCserver manager interface crashes.
    
    I've got an autstanding call with Cheyennne, anyone here know of a
    problem in this area ?
    
    Thanks

849.1	Probably issue between ARCServe and Cluster redirector	SUTRA::16.192.160.196::Bats	Speeding, speeding, I'm always speeding	`Tue Jun 03 1997 04:18`	8
	It could be that the ARCserve application has a problem with the Cluster redirector. Why don't you apply the NT Cluster 1.1 SP1, so you can do away completely with the redirector, and use the normal Windows NT one? That should definitely put to bed these type of problems. Pjotrr

	To expand abit on .1 Some customers have simply disabled the cluster file system driver from starting on the cluster servers. (control panel - devices - cluster file system) This has eliminated various performance issues with applications (on the servers) that are sensitive to timing issues when connecting to remote file shares or when conducting extensive remote file I/O. I believe that ARCServer falls under this catagory. The ramification is that you can not browse or connect to established cluster shares from the servers but this is generally something that the clients require, not the servers. NT Cluster V1.1-SP1 now offers file share support via NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) which makes the cluster file system driver superfluous. (Providing of course that the clients are running TCP/IP as well)
