1889.0. "cluster failover questions" by KYOSS1::GREEN () Wed Feb 19 1997 14:30

    	We have cluster moving to MC cluster. The really don't need MC.
    The plan to use the machine for:
    	NFS server --- No problem
    	Mail server --???
    	DNS + NIS --- I suggest making one node master and one backup
    
    	QUESTIONS:
    	1. Any problems with clients running automount?
    	2. Can sendmail be set up to failover?
	3. Can printers be set-up to failover?
    	4. can LAT devices failover?

        QUESTIONS:
        1. Any problems with clients running automount?

Clients can run automuont.

        2. Can sendmail be set up to failover?

Yes.

        3. Can printers be set-up to failover?

I am not aware of local printers being able to be failed over. 
You might be able to failover network printers, however, I
have not tried.  Anyone out there tried this and failed/
succeeded?

        4. can LAT devices failover?

Not sure, again, anyone tried this one?

    Hi,
    
    I wrote in year 1994 a note explaining how to failover printer queue,
    but I dont remember the note number. try a dir /title=printer or
    /title=queue.
    
    Regards, Manu.
