This automatically updates the basic cluster commands in the cluster resource scripts.
6 Using the Clusters plug-in in iManager, modify the load script of the DFS cluster resource to
change the

to
vldb -dir /vldbpath
7 Online the cluster resource.
8 Run a VLDB repair to ensure that the database is correct.

10.2 Adding a Linux Server as a Replica Site

Use this method if you want to use a different shared disk for the VLDB on Linux. You can do this
by adding a DFS replica site on Linux.
1 Install OES 2 Linux on the server that you want to add to the cluster. Make sure Novell Storage
Services and any of its dependent services are installed.
2 Assign the node's nssadmin user as a trustee of the container that is configured as the
Management Context for the VLDB, and give the user at least the
the
[All Attribute Rights]
IMPORTANT: If the Management Context is configured to use the container that contains a
node's Server object, the nssadmin User object for that server is a already a trustee of the
container and has the
nssadmin User object when you add rights for the
2a In iManager, select Rights > Modify Trustees.
2b Select the container that is configured as the Management Context, then click OK.
2c Click Add Trustee, select the nssadmin User object, then click OK.
The nssadmin User object is in the same container as its server. The username format is
servnameadmin.context. For example, if the server name is
then server1admin.ou1.mycompany is the nssadmin username.
2d Click Assigned Rights for the selected nssadmin User object.
2e Assign the Read and Compare rights to the [All Attribute Rights] property, then click
Done.
2f Click Apply to save and apply the changes.
3 Create a shared NSS pool and volume on the OES 2 Linux server, or create a shared Linux
POSIX volume.
4 In iManager, add the Linux server as the second VLDB replica site for the DFS management
context, and point to the shared NSS volume as the VLDB location.
5 Allow the VLDB data to synchronize between the NetWare replica and the Linux replica.
6 In iManager, remove the NetWare instance of the replica site.
