Selecting Peer Clusters for the Resource

Peer clusters are the other clusters that this cluster resource can be migrated to. The cluster or
clusters that you select determine where the resource can be manually migrated. If you decide to
migrate this resource to another cluster, you must migrate it to one of the clusters that has been
selected.
1 Select the other clusters that this resource can be migrated to.
2 Do one of the following:

If you are creating a new non-pool cluster resource that contains a Reiser or Ext3 file
system, click Finish.

If this is an existing non-pool cluster resource that contains a Reiser or Ext3 file system,
click Apply.

If you are creating a new cluster pool resource, click Next, then add the SAN management
configuration information. For information, see
Configuration Information" on page

If this is an existing cluster pool resource, add the SAN management configuration
information. For information, see

2.5 Managing a Novell Business Continuity
Cluster
After you have installed, set up, and configured Novell Business Continuity Clustering software and
resources, some additional information can be useful to help you effectively manage your business
continuity cluster. This information consists of instructions for migrating resources from one cluster
to another, changing existing cluster peer credentials, and generating a business continuity report
that provides cluster configuration and status information.

2.5.1 Migrating a Cluster Resource to Another Cluster

Although there is now an automatic failover feature for Novell Business Continuity Clustering, it is
recommended that you manually migrate resources from one cluster to another cluster. See
Appendix B, "Setting Up Auto-Failover," on page
if the entire cluster fails, or if you just want to migrate the resource to another cluster, you can
