<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a third Server called Application Server which is outside the cluster.That Application server needs to be continously mounted on one of the cluster nodes.So for that someone advised me of NFS.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Now I have NFS installed on both the cluster nodes and also in Application Server.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What I think is When the first node failover the second one comes up.And NFS too dies(stop) on first node(Correct me if I am wrong?)</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Now The connectivity between failed node and Application Server fails?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I want such a setup in which The Application Server remain connected to First node even if the first node does failover to the secondary cluster nodes.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any Suggestions?</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
