Re: Restricting a generic service to a particular node

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I'm not entirely certain that is the problem. Let me try to explain with a
little more detail.

The service that I am running on both nodes (it IS installed on both) is for
backup. I want each node to backup its disk, when the node "owns" the disk.
If failover occurs, I do NOT want NODE2 to backup NODE1's disk. When
failback occurs, I want backup on NODE1 to restart when NODE1 reclaims
ownership of its disk.

I'm wondering if I should try to use a script to start/stop the service on
failover/failback?
