No it isn't true. That would kind of defeat the purpose of a cluster. If node A is the host and he fails then node B takes over until you figure out what is wrong with node A. If node A reboots and comes back online, there is settings to allow it to fail back from B to A. The time it takes to fail over depends on options and settings you setup. By default only, it shouldn't take several minutes.

Also, if there is a harddrive failure in Server A, does it actually take Server B several minutes to respond? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
