[Samba] Samba 4 Clustering

[Arc C.]

   As far as I know, Sun Cluster 3.1 can natively cluster (fail-over) Samba
3.x
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-1081

  Of course this is only available for Solaris (sparc or X86).

Another this can be done with Veritas Cluster Server (Solaris is for sure, but
I think Linux is also supported) with Application agent, as described here

  Is that what the question was?
