Itzik, Thanks for the advice about Chapter 4. I've now read it over and during
the Networker installation, it says to install the client (run the
networker.cluster script on each node); install the Storage Node Software (run
the networker.cluster script on each node); install the Server Software (run
the networker.cluster script on each node).
After looking through that script, I think I'll defenitely point the CDSL for
/nsr to someplace other than the actual place for Networker's files, when it
says to run networker.cluster with the -r arguement.
Thanks again,
Randy
