This is the problem, the business owners don't care about the OS or local 
drives. They do an SQL back up and have it written on one of the floating 
drives. The only thing we are backing up is the backup files so I only need the 
one policy for the cluster (vir1). The problem is that the active node changed 
and the host properties are still pointing to the old active node. Not the new 
active node. In other words, I go to host properties for the cluster. The 
Client tab says 1a (old active) not 1b (new active).
