Chaps, I need to draw on your experiences again... Does the primary IMA Data Store really need to be clustered, or is this more complication than it is worth. KISS principle, etc.? I appreciate that high availability is important, but isn't the integrity of the database even more important. Without a Data Store, what's the worse that could happen during the 96 hours, you can't make changes?? If something was seriously wrong the master IMA Data Store cluster node A, would we want the second cluster to take over? Is there not a further chance of corrupting data by having this nice-ity?? If the Data Store becomes unavailable, presumably an app server can still boot from the contents of the LHC? thanks, Brian ============================================================================== This message is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
