Hi

Could anyone tell me how to get access to a file in a shared resource of a
cluster Server? I can see the shared resource in cluster administrator, but i
don't know how to open it from a node and get access to the particular file.

thanks and regards

Lisa, You should be able to map a drive in explorer to the
\\servername\sharename. If you are running Win2k3 you will have to look at
the share level permissions. In Win2k the default Share level permissions
were Everyone Full Control, in Win2k3 it needs to be modified to either allow
Everyone Full control or explicitly set up for you users or groups. Then you
must also specify your NTFS permissions accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mark

Thanks a lot for the information and your help.
But I need some more information too. Can you tell me if there is a way to
open the handle to this particular shared disk and extract the information
programatically if I want to, provided I already know which particular node
this shared resource belong to?? Please help.

Thanks and regards
Lisa

Lisa, you lost me. If you want to go directly to the specific node that owns
the resource you could map to \\ServerName\E$\SharedFolder... to access the
administrative share for the drive letter the share resides on and then
navigate down the directory structure. But if you are using a program or
batch file to access this it would still be better to either use the network
name of the shared resource, assuming you set it up that way or call it as
noted above but use the cluster name instead of the server name. That way
your script would work regardless of which node owns the resource. Hope that
helps.
