Adding New Oes 2 Linux Nodes To Your Netware Cluster - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER - CONVERSION GUIDE 12-2010 Manual

11 Reboot the server.
12 (Optional) Manually migrate the resources that were on the old server nodes to this Linux
server.
Some cluster resources for services on NetWare cannot be used on Linux. For information, see
Chapter 1, "Planning the Cluster Conversion," on page
The resources can automatically fail back if all of the following apply:

The failback mode for the resources was set to Auto.

You used the same node number for this Linux server that was used for the former
NetWare server.
This only applies if this Linux server is the next server added to the cluster.

This Linux server is the preferred node for the resources.
4.2 Adding New OES 2 Linux Nodes to Your
NetWare Cluster
You can add new OES 2 Linux cluster nodes to your existing NetWare 6.5 cluster without bringing
down the cluster.
1 Before you add the first Linux node to the NetWare cluster, if the NetWare cluster uses an SBD,
make sure that the device (or devices) being used by the SBD are marked as Shareable for
Clustering.
You can use NSSMU or iManager to mark the SBD devices as shareable. It is not necessary to
bring the cluster down when changing the device attribute to Shareable for Clustering.
Using NSSMU:
1a Log in to the master node of the NetWare cluster as the administrator user.
1b Enter
1c In the NSSMU main menu, select Devices.
1d In the Devices list, highlight the device that contains the SBD partition, then press F5 to
select it.
1e Press F6 to mark the device as Shareable for Clustering.
1f If the SBD partition is mirrored, repeat
as Shareable for Clustering.
1g Press Esc to exit NSSMU.
2 Install OES 2 Linux on the new node, but do not install the Novell Cluster Services option from
OES Services at this time.
See the
3 Set up and verify SAN connectivity for the new OES 2 Linux node.
Consult your SAN vendor documentation for SAN setup and connectivity instructions.
4 Install Novell Cluster Services on the OES 2 Linux node.
5 After the install, add the server to the NetWare cluster:
