Hi,

Unfortuantely, I am aware of this.

It just doesnt make sense that you can "work" with the virtual server from
all other aspects (applications, ping, nslookup, various OS's etc) but
Legato cannot "see it". We are trying now to bring up all of the normal
"non-required" NLM's in an attempt to get Legato to communicate (i.e.
RCMDSRV) with Netware.

Will keep "plowing" ahead ...
;p

Hi,

This path is already been plowed in the past with NW 6.0 cluster.
Legato's Networker is not Netware Cluster aware. You must user server
physical name.
