Can SL4NT 3.0 be run as a clustered application or cluster service? We are

running MS Cluster Services on a 2-node Windows 2000 Advanced Server system,

and would like the Syslog service to failover between nodes if one goes

down, and store log files on the cluster's shared drive. Has anyone done

this or have some tips for installing it to the cluster?

Thanks,

Karen

I never got any response from this list on this, but after 1 direct inquiry

just now, I decided I could post my solution back to the list for others. I

finally figured it out with help from folks on a win2000.advanced_server

list.

I was able to run it as a Generic Service. I installed SL4NT on both nodes,

and it installed a service to automatically run on each machine. Then from

the Cluster Administrator tool, I created a "generic service" resource with

the wizard that comes up when I choose "new resource". To get this to work,

it was important to use the correct file name for "Service name", which you

can find out from its listing in the Services console. You also have to set

the service to "manual" in the services console so that the cluster can stop

& start it.

Peace to all,

Karen
