[Server2003] Cluster Question

[eccofresh]

Hello,

first, my Setup:

- I have a Cluster with 2 Nodes, both running Windows Server 2003.

- The cluster has one resourcegroup

- In the resource group are a few applications and services

I have written one of the services myself using VB6 and it works pretty good, but making some problems during the cluster switch.

The service executes a java application which runs in the background, and if it gets stoped, it runs a different java application to end the first one.

+ This works great when I use the services.msc console.

+ In the cluster admin, if I take the service resource offline it works aswell.

- BUT if I make a cluster switch, its a 50-50 chance that it will work.

Can it be that the service doesnt have enough time to enditself and the other service?

Is it possible to configure my cluster so that my service shutsdown first in case of a cluster switch, and all other applications have to wait till it is done unloading it self?

I think your problem may be to clustering specific to be answered on this forum. You might want to try the MS Clustering Newsgroups instead:

Check within your code b because i setup both a windows and linux HPC even though have more experience with the linux HPC since i and 5 other student my school just 2 weeks ago setup a cluster up for our school. I'm planning to put up a windows one in the next coming months during the summer. we have testing going on linux cluster already by a few physic and math profs. Oh and yes we coded out own programs for the stimulations.
