[Lustre-discuss] question about failnode with mixed networks

Hello Folks,
	We have a lustre instance served out both o2ib and tcp.  In a failover situation, it would appear that tcp connected clients do not get the hint to switch over to the secondary MDS (I would assume the same is true for the OSS as well).  When I initially set up the file system, I specified --failnode for the @o2ib interfaces, should I have also specified NIDs for the @tcp0 during the fs construction?  If so, is it possible to add this as an afterthought?
