Hi,
I have two NT 4 servers both running an arev application.
The application needs to attach to datafiles on both servers.
When I install the nt service 1.5 on both servers, and install the all networks driver 1.5, I find that the application can only attach to data files which are local. When I attempt to attach to data files on the other server, I get the error unable to attach to datavol xxx. This volume is unavailable or does not exist.
I should say that I have mapped a drive to the data on the other server, I have full rights and this mapping seems fine even when this error occurs.
If I stop the service on one of the servers, the application can attach fine. (the problem with this is that the users on the other nt server suffer a loss of performance, because the service is not running).
I would appreciate any help or advice on this problem as ideally I would like to use the nt service on both servers.
Thanks
Ian Robertson
Sounds like you are using the same NT service on both servers.
and as the Service is licensed per server this is a no no and won't work.
