Thanks for the help Bill,

        I already have an IP address for each group that fails over to the
other server.  Do I need another pair to do the job??  Right now when a
server fails, the IP address is acessible on the other server.  When I
connect to the webclient on the failed server IP I get the client but for
the active node not the failed server's node.  If I look at the services
the only remote agent that is started is the local one, the failed node's
remote agent is there but doesn't start.

Etienne

Use App. C in the Installing The Clients manual for complete instructions.
For the web client you also have to create a name and IP address resource
for the group. Then you would use this group IP address to access the
webclient on whichever node owns that resource.

Is this normal?

I have setup the BA client in an W2K cluster with two nodes according to
the instrcutions in the Admin Guide App. E (Client is 5.1.5 on W2K SP2).

The Webclient works fine locally, but when it fails over and I try to
login to the webclient I can only access the local (non-failed over)
webclient.

In other words if I have node A and B, when node B failovers to node A I
can't login to the Webclient as node B anymore. I can only login as node
A. This means I can do a backup/archive of the clustergroupB disks (but I
shouldn't) but I can't do restores/retrieves from the clustergroupB disks!

In other words I can't do anything through the Webclient on the failed
cluster node disks!

Hopefully I srewed up somewhere during my install and this is not the way
it's supposed to work.

Please HELP!!!!
