QuickFinder Server

1 5
In a Novell Cluster Services cluster, you must install QuickFinder on each node in the cluster. This
registers QuickFinder Server with each of the Web servers and application servers running on each
server. On OES 2 Linux, QuickFinder is installed by default in the
recommend that you use the default path. After the installation, you must set up one or more virtual
search servers to enable QuickFinder Server to work in a cluster.
When the Linux setup is completed, you are ready to manually migrate settings from the NetWare
cluster to the Linux cluster. Set up QuickFinder on the OES 2 Linux cluster nodes, then manually
migrate QuickFinder data from a NetWare node to an OES 2 Linux node.

Cluster Nodes
On each OES 2 Linux node, do the following to set up QuickFinder for Linux:
1 Cluster migrate the Linux POSIX cluster resource to the OES 2 Linux node where you want to
install QuickFinder
2 Install QuickFinder on the active cluster node.
3 Create a virtual search server to enable QuickFinder Server to work in a cluster.
Give each virtual search server the same name and location. After the first server is set up, any
settings that you create on the shared volume are automatically displayed.
3a On the active cluster node, open the QuickFinder Server Manager.
3b Click Global Settings, then click Add New Virtual Server.
