I haven't used the latest client support for clustering but I've setup
     clustering clients based on V3.1.0.3 (the pre UNC version, and with
     reliable failover and all) . In this setup we use client prompting and
     we haven't had a hick for more than a ? well since V3.1.03 was put
     out.
     I haven't thoroughly read the clustering redpiece yet but if they
     don't specifically mention not ever, ever to use the client prompting
     mode I have no idea why a setup with prompting won't work (or work
     reliably).

Subject: Scheduling mode for Microsoft Cluster Server

My site is in the process of installing a Microsoft Cluster Server, and I have
been asked to find out how to do ADSM backups of files on such a system. I
found a useful IBM Redpiece on the subject, and a number of relevant messages
in the archives for this list. The Redpiece shows the ADSM client configured
to use the client polling scheduling mode, and the messages which mention the
scheduling mode do the same. Is is possible to use server prompting reliably
with a Microsoft Cluster Server?
