Sorry, but what is a "addition client"?
What does it mean: "did not automatically swtich"? What exactly happened? Were 
the clients able to access the data on the NFS partition?

Clients SHOULD not change mountpoints. They just should continue to work. A 
mountpoint (simplified) is defined by the IP address and the path. Since the 
path does not change from one node to the other and the Cluster IP address is 
also the same, the client should not mention the failover.
