The following notes apply when a cluster system is used:

• If acquisition of Dr. Watson's log file has been set in the OS, failover will not occur. To run Asset Information Manager in a cluster system, specify the settings so that Dr. Watson's log file is not acquired.
• When you install or uninstall Asset Information Manager, use the Cluster Administrator to place the service resources of World Wide Web Publishing Service offline. After that, stop World Wide Web Publishing Service from Services, which is displayed by choosing Administrative Tools from Control Panel. If Asset Information Synchronous Service is running, also stop this service. If you start the installer or uninstaller while the service resource is online, failover may occur depending on the resource settings, or the installer or uninstaller may hang up or terminate abnormally.
• If you change server setup settings, the settings specified at the executing server are not applied to the standby server, regardless of whether the service resource is online or offline. Make sure that each server has the same server settings.
• If Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition is used, World Wide Web Publishing Service or World Wide Web Publishing on the standby server must be stopped.
• If you have selected Embedded RDB as the asset management database, once you have set up for a cluster system environment, do not change Logical host name and Execution host name. If these settings are changed, the cluster functions will not function normally with Asset Information Manager. To change the logical host name and execution host name, you must re-create the asset management database. For details about how to rename logical hosts, see E.6 Renaming the Embedded RDB host. For details about how to rename the executing host, see (1)(b) How to rename the executing host.
