Hi,

Imagine I'm using SSH or TELNET to connect to one of my clustered database servers. I log in using a virtual server name not knowing which one of my two database servers i will connect to. Now the question:

If all I have is the virtual server name e.g.

SSH DavoH@gb1234QVD011Px7

and this virtual server will connect me to my primary server gb1234QDS011Px7

Is there any way I can find out which server the virtual server will connect me too before I log in...IF I DON't KNOW WHAT THE PRIMARY SERVER IS?

Scenario is thus: log on via QVD011 virtual server , it could connect to either QDS011 or QDS022. But I dont know what the primary server is and i have two different passwords on each....how can i find out through the virtual server name what the primary server is without entering in my password and revoking my id...

i hope this appears clear....cheers DavoH
