Hello,

Can the cluster API be used for queries regarding clusters in a different
domain? I want to write a program that makes use of the Cluster API
(OpenCluster etc.) that can query different clusters on different domains.
So far, I have not been able to make queries to clusters outside of the
domain I am querying from. i.e.:

NodeX in domain X OpenCluster( ) on clusterX in domain X: ok
NodeY in domain Y OpenCluster( ) on clusterX in domain X: Access is denied

Can anyone confirm this? Or is there anyway around it?

Thanks in Advance,
Alex

Inorder to be able to get access to the cluster, you should be the Cluster
Service account or you should have the local admin privileges on the cluster
nodes.
You can access the cluster from another trusted domain by adding a domain
user from that domain to the security descriptor of the cluster.
Right click on the cluster through cluadmin, and go to properties of the
cluster. Under the security tab, you can add users to the security
descriptor.

Iype,

Thanks for your reply. However, I was not able to add a new domain to the
security descriptor of the cluster. When I look at the "locations", it only
displays the current domain the cluster (and the node) belongs to under
"Entire Directory". Is there a way to get the entire directory to "see"
other domains?

Thanks,
Alex

Alex,
If there is trust established between the two domains, I would think that
you should be able to see the domains under your entire network and cluster
APIs and cluster.exe access would work across the domains from a user who
has been added to the descriptor. I would try to verify that.
