Hi All

Just wondering
I am experimenting a little with a failover cluster on 2003 servers
(simulating on vmware)
Each node will be physical separated from each other, with only LAN in
between

I have a few plain and simple data files I'd like to have synchronized
between the two nodes
When I change or drop anything in a specific folder the cold node should be
updated with the changes

Normally I'd just point to a folder on the shared disk
But this is not possible in this case

Do I need some thirdparty tools (like eg legato) or does the 2003 server
have some tools built in?

Thanks in advance :-)

I think you are saying you want to have a two node cluster with data on each
server, and not the shared disk. When you change said data locally, you want
some automatic service to replicate the data between the machines? Is that
the gist of it?

You have a couple of different ways to go. DFS is a great way and can be
clustered. You would only have one copy of the data, but it would be Highly
Available. Another way to go is Robocopy. Robocopy will also help with the
local copying, it will allow both servers to stay in sync, and its a free
tool :)

Cheers,

Rod
