I've been meaning to do this too..
It should be quite easy for me.. our cluster is a failover one, with
shared storage that's only mounted on one machine at any one time. It
has an IP address which gets failed over with the storage, so it should
just be a case of splitting the jobs (which is actually already done)
and pointing them at the clustered address instead of the machines'
'own' IP addresses.
If that makes sense...
I'd split your jobs into three:
Job {
FileSet = "Server"
Client = "server-a-fd"
...
}
Job {
FileSet = "Server"
Client = "server-b-fd"
...
}
Job {
FileSet = "SharedStorage"
Client = "cluster-fd"
...
}
Doing a restore shouldn't be tricky really.. you can restore any job to
any client (well, unless you want to restore Windows files to a
non-Windows box and you didn't use the "Portable" directive)
