The Question is: Dear Wizards! We hve four Alpha 4100 members cluster in two places - two nodes in one place and two nodes in another. Each place have SCSI connection between nodes and each place connected via FDDI. Each place have it's own boot disk, so we have two boot devices in cluster and two places for SYS$COMMON. The quiestion is: is it possible to reassigng SYS$COMMON to one place on all nodes? I think, this will simplify cluster administartion. Thank You. The Answer is : The Wizard recommends using an application-specific area (or set of areas) for common files and tools. This has the advantage of having nearly complete independence from the contents of the system disk -- restore the system disk, drop in a few select files that reference the real application-specific files located off the system disk, and the system is configured and running. Some sites use an (unsupported) third translation of SYS$SYSROOT:. This approach is not supported, and has been known to occasionally cause problems. Redefinition of SYS$COMMON is not supported and not recommended.
