Reply To: IDX/GE interfaces with VMS clustering

Michael,

I think Forwarding is a manual thing. I think at one time they were going to imbed forwarding rules in Cloverleaf(R) but I think it was decided that one could always wriote Tcl to decide when to forward or do it from the command line or the GUI.

The thing I don’t like about it is there is no outward sign in the GUI (and maybe elsewhere) what thread is being forwarded to. There isn’t even a connecting arrow to indicate the potential of forwarding as I recall.

I also cannot recall if there is any change to the Icon when a thread is forwarded.

We had the same situation with failover in our AIX HA environment with multiple NIC cards. Our Administrators solved that one for us so that now all we have to worry about are receiving systems that have firewalls in place and filter out by connecting IP address.
