clustering of labview

[Dexter_Ong]

Can I use Microsoft Clustering Service to provide automatic fail-over of Labview from one server to the next? Is Labview "cluster capable"?

hi DExtor, as regard to your problem i dun think that is possible. the cluster function in labview is only use to bundle the many different variables into a cluster so that data will flow neatly and also memory usage is reduced.

LabVIEW is not "Cluster aware" but it appears that it will work with Microsoft's Clustering Service. From what I read about the service, the clustering service is capable of restarting an application that has failed and it doesn't appear to require anything on the part of the application software. "Cluster aware" applications make use of MCS services to provide dynamic load balancing across multiple servers, but this doesn't have anything to do with failure protection.
