Hi,



Just wondering if anyone has any real-life experience with clustering. In doing my research I wonder if clustering offers any significant advantage in terms of auto fail over and restart of running applications. The application is SF/Vb.Net/SQL Server and if therefore "cluser unaware". As I understand it cluster unaware apps can be packaged into a container that the clustering software can communicate with to receive an "I'm alive" type of response. If there is no response then the application can be restarted on another node.



Assuming that this is roughly correct I'm wondering if clustering can work for us. In our case we have multiple instances of different exe's running concurrently but each is started with a different set of command line paramenters. So, from our perscpective, "ABC.exe para1=A, para2=B" is a completely different workload to "ABC.exe para1=X, para2=Y". Can this type of scenaria be handled when configuring cluster unaware exe's?
