Re: Any Reason Not To Have an RDB Directory Entry with Same Name on Both Partitions of a Physical Box?

IBM has a technical document on just this scenario.
For example, we are a Mimix shop. If you have a system called GDIHQ and
it's Mimix partner called GDIHQ2 you have to do some fun and games with
RDB to be able to have SQL Server and what not successfully connect.

The real fun begins with you want this high availability yet still want to
address each machine individually. For example, sometimes I may want to
get to GDIHQ1. Sometimes to GDIHQ2. Other times just whomever is GDIHQ
at the moment. Frankly targeting a specific machine is limited to someone
like me for getting stuff like current disk space used and whatnot.

Here's from our developement pair (GDISYS).
