MDB in cluster with 6.0

Question

          Hi all,
          I'm using "weblogic6.0 sp2".
          I have instances of bea in different servers, one instance (Admin_1) is the Administration
          and in the other server the Managed instance (Managed_1).
          In the admin istance i have a MDB listening to a Topic, my problem is how to deploy
          it in the managed instance if i can't target the TopicServer to both servers.
          I read a lot, here in the bea support, and i'm trying with the next:
          Create a cluster. Bind the MDB and the jms factory to the cluster and the jms server
          to only one node of the cluster.
          Running the Admin_1 instance runs well, but when i try to run the Managed_1, it says
          that the MDB can't be deployed because the topic is not found in the lookup.
          How can i deploy the MDB in the two instances, and when a client sends a jms message
          only one of the instance catch it ?
          It true that the administrator server cannot participate in the cluster ? if true,
          i need three server (one Admin, and two Managed) ?
          Regards Juan.

Hi,
Are you logged in as an Administrator onto windows server.
Details in the SAP note mentioned is as follows
Instead, create the File Server cluster resource as follows:
Open a command prompt in Administrative mode and type:
cluster res "SAP <SID> FileServer" /CREATE /GROUP:"SAP <SID>" /TYPE:"File Server"
Set the dependencies of the newly created File Server resource to the Disk and the Virtual Network Name resources
After you have performed the installation option "First MSCS Node", manually adjust the sapmnt file share security as follows:
Open the Failover Cluster Manager, and select the SAP <SAPSID> cluster group.
In the Share Folders window, right-click the sapmnt share and choose "Properties".
Set full access to the following groups:
    local group Administator
    domain group <domain>\SAP_<SID>_GlobalAdmin
Hope this helps.
