CONFIGURING
Configure a cluster of servers to support Notes® roaming users. Make sure that replicas of each user's roaming files are on at least two roaming servers in the cluster. When a user tries to access roaming files on a server that is not available, Domino® fails over to a different cluster server that has replicas of the user's roaming files.
About this task
When you use the Domino Administrator to register new users, you can set them up during registration for roaming in a cluster. You can also upgrade existing users for roaming in a cluster.
