<DIV><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi
everyone,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a requirement
to monitor some 2 node Windows 2003 File Clusters . I would like to monitor
them with BBWin but I have the
following questions:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Should I install
the bbwin client on </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>both nodes and activate
only one of the nodes for monitoring? With this setup I miss monitoring the
local C/D drives on each node.</FONT></SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it possible to
make bbwin a clustered application? (i.e. one that would failover using the MS
clustering mechanism)</FONT></SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>The cluster.exe
supplied with the bbwin package only shows the cluster groups, not the
individual items within the groups. Has anyone written any extended cluster
checks that they would possibly share with me? If not I can write my own. I'm
sure I can get this information with WMI. </FONT></SPAN></LI></UL>
<DIV><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the moment I
setup the bbwin client on one of the nodes and then change the registry entry to
use the cluster name (i.e I install on a node fileclus1n1 and change the
registry key to fileclus1). Is this the correct way to setup the monitoring? Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=423380111-03062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realise
the question should probably be on the BBWIN mailing list, but I thought I
would have more chance of getting a reply on this list.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
