13.6.3 Determining Cluster Resource Information for the Linux
Agents
A cluster resource is a
shared
that can function successfully anywhere in the cluster. Cluster resources include the GroupWise
agents and the Messenger agents. When using the Configure GroupWise for Clustering option, the
GroupWise Installation program needs to know the mount point for the
it will create the domain and post office. For example, you might create a /mnt/gwsystem mount
point, or you might create /mnt/dom1 and /mnt/po1 mount points. The Installation program
also needs to know the secondary IP address of the GroupWise partition.
