system<br>========================================================<br><br>What
I will achieve with this scenario , is that both the nodes will always
be in active mode as one node is having higher priority in Failover
Domain in one cluster and the other node has higher priority in the
other cluster as shown above. This means that both the file system
resource will always be available in either of the nodes. And if a
node goes down ' suppose system1.example.com ' which is active in </font><b><font size="2">'ClusterA</font></b><font size="2">' ,
cluster , the file system resource /data1 on the cluster will be
mounted on system2.example.com which is already having /data2 mounted
on </font><b><font size="2">'ClusterB' </font></b><br><br><font size="2">So , based on the above architecture , we are achieving the following</font><br><font size="2">1) Both the mount points will be always available and </font><br><font size="2">2) Both the nodes will be utilized as both the nodes will be in active mode in either of the cluster .</font></div><div><br></div><div><font size="2">Will be great if you have some inputs to achieve the same . <br></font></div><div><br></div><div><font size="2">Thanks</font></div><div><font size="2">Zaman<br></font></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Digimer <lists@alteeve.ca><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Zama Ques
