Hi Jim,

I've had no experience with NT clustering, but we use ADSM on VMS
systems that are in clusters. With NT cluster, does the cluster have a
name independent of the individual servers? Are the names of the devices
independent of server that you access them through? If so, I'd try
setting the nodename in the dsm.opt file to the same value on both
servers (the name of the cluster??).
