Lanman agent<br />

The Lanman agent enables clients to access data and applications on a cluster<br />

node by associating the virtual IP address with the virtual computer name in the<br />

WINS database. The agent provides the option of associating multiple IP addresses<br />

from different subnets with the virtual computer name. The agent also provides<br />

the option of creating the virtual computer object in any organizational unit in<br />

the Active Directory and enhances the DNS updating capabilities of VCS.<br />

The Lanman agent registers the following services with the WINS server:<br />

<strong>Server</strong> (20h)<br />

Workstation (00h)<br />

Messenger (03h)<br />

In an IPv6 environment, the Lanman agent relies on the DNS records to check for<br />

duplicate server names on the network. If the DNS entry for a virtual server name<br />

that uses an IPv6 address does not exist, the agent fails to validate the server for<br />

name duplication on the network. If the virtual IP is an IPv6 address, you must<br />

specify the DNS server IP address, either in the network adapter properties or in<br />

the Lanman agent’s AdditionalDNS<strong>Server</strong>s attribute.<br />

The agent supports Kerberos authentication by providing the option of adding<br />

the virtual computer name to the Active Directory and adding the virtual IP address<br />

to the DNS. The agent uses the VCS Helper Service user context for AD and DNS<br />

updates.<br />

The Lanman agent updates and monitors the canonical name (CNAME) mapping<br />

in the domain name server when failing over applications across subnets<br />

(performing a wide-area failover.) The Lanman agent also supports creating DNS<br />

records in different DNS zones.<br />

DNS scavenging affects virtual servers configured in VCS because the Lanman<br />

agent uses DDNS to map virtual names with IP addresses. If you use scavenging,<br />

then you must set the DNSRefreshInterval attribute. This will enable the Lanman<br />

agent to refresh the resource records on the DNS servers. See the<br />

DNSRefreshInterval attribute description for more information.
