I am settting up two identical Novell 6.6 servers to replace two Novell 4.2 servers that are already mirrored usinf an MSL card. Is it possible to mirror the new servers with an MSL card or do i must use clustering and how? I've got two 36GB hdd in each. If one server fails i would like the other to take over.

With clustering, 1 server acts as a master while the second is basically a slave. The slave sends out a heartbeat packet to verify that the master is running and in the event that it isn't there, promotes itself until the master comes back on line. Here's a link to the documentation, and remember that you use the IP addy of the cluster in your login scripts rather than /volume.

I don't have any separate shared storage, only the two HP Proliant ML330 G3 servers.
