Hi,

the default sample comes up wiht only one Cluster name

Are there samples with multiple Clusters specified.

Appreciate some assistance.

Thanks.

Hello,

I didn't reply to your previous post, because I can't give examples due to
an NDA. I must say that I found the samples and the documentation helpfull
(at least one positive point at it).

To keep it simple, I made scripts where I have variables like Cluster1,
Cluster2, etc, Netmask1, Netmask2, etc and make a copy/paste of the
directives to alias/unalias the addresses.

Do you have specific problems or are you "simply" short on ideas on how to
script this in a usefull way (for example, I logged the events in the Event
Viewer or send a mail to the admin) ?

Ben.

I'm using Edge (Network Dispatcher) on Win2K.

Now to your questions:

At first, I made them pretty much hard-coded and would suggest you do the
same, unless you have many clusters to maintain and feel confident in your
ability to script. I then thaught I should refactor my scripts to make then
more generic and centralize all the settings in a single file, but found the
overhead of re-engenering my scripts too much.

What I found pretty much usefull was to log in a file of my own (with echo
statements) when a script is launched, what parameters it received + to
trace every (un)aliasing action with a statement and log the state of the
arp table. This is of unvaluable help when problem arise or when a question
like "when did the take-over take place" come on the table...

In fact, Network Dispatcher has its own TCP/IP stack implementation, aside
the OS. That's why you don't see anything relevant via the netstat
command... In Windows, you'll find ibmnd.sys in <WinNT>\System32\drivers
(IIRC), which is a kernel network driver. I suppose it's pretty much the
same, whatever the platform.
