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? > If so, how do I get round this problem so clients also switch mount points? 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.
