<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Have the client setup on both nodes, configure xymon to monitor both nodes and the cluster address, and use combo tests to get a cluster status. Setup the combo
tests so they show status on the cluster address, and configure the combo tests so that as long as one of the two nodes is green then the cluster is green as well. That is the best way, I do the same thing with Linux clusters here.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The other (less desirable) way is to hard code the cluster name in the config of the client, then set that service to failover and start with the cluster.
