Extending The Edirectory Schema To Add Cluster Objects; Prerequisites For Extending The Schema - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP 2 - CLUSTER SERVICES 1.8.7 FOR LINUX Manual

3.3 Extending the eDirectory Schema to Add
Cluster Objects
When you install Novell Cluster Services in a tree, the eDirectory schema for the tree is extended to
include the following types of objects:
Cluster objects (containers)
Cluster Node objects
Cluster Resource objects
Cluster Template objects
Volume Resource objects
In OES 2 SP1 Linux and later, a tree administrator user with credentials to do so can extend the
eDirectory schema before a cluster is installed anywhere in a tree. This allows container
administrators (or non-administrator users) to install a cluster in a container in that same tree without
needing full administrator rights for the tree. After the schema has been extended, you must assign
some eDirectory rights to the container administrators (or non-administrator users) who will install
Novell Cluster Services clusters.
If the schema is not extended separately, the installer of the first cluster server in the tree must be an
administrator with credentials to extend the eDirectory schema. The schema is automatically
extended during the install. Subsequent cluster servers can be installed by container administrators
(or non-administrator users) with sufficient rights to install Novell Cluster Services. For install
rights information, see
"Assigning Install Rights for Container Administrators," on page
Section 3.3.1, "Prerequisites for Extending the Schema," on page 40
Section 3.3.2, "Extending the Schema," on page 41

3.3.1 Prerequisites for Extending the Schema

This procedure assumes that no clusters currently exist in the tree, and the schema needs to be
extended for cluster objects.
You need the Administrator credentials for extending the eDirectory schema.
You need the following information about the tree where you want to install Novell Cluster Services
clusters:
