Installing Novell Cluster Services On An Existing Oes 2 Linux Server - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP 2 - CLUSTER SERVICES 1.8.7 FOR LINUX Manual

Novell Linux User Management
Novell Remote Manager
The following OES services are not automatically selected, but are required for managing and
configuring Novell Cluster Services:
Novell iManager must be installed on at least one server in your data center.
Novell eDirectory must already be installed on at least one server in the tree where you are
installing the cluster. You can install a replica on the cluster server.
Select Novell Storage Services and NCP Server and Dynamic Storage Technology options if
you want to cluster-enable NSS pools and volumes. This combination is also required to use
cluster-enabled NSS volumes in DST shadow volume pairs.
Select NCP Server and Dynamic Storage Technology if you want to cluster-enable NCP
volumes on Linux POSIX file systems.
Select other protocols and services according to your planned setup. For information, see
Section 3.1.2, "Software Requirements," on page
IMPORTANT: If you deselect a pattern after selecting it, you are instructing the installation
program to not install that pattern and all of its dependent patterns. Rather than deselecting a
pattern, click Cancel to cancel your software selections, then click the Software heading again
to choose your selections again.
Selecting only the patterns that you want to install ensures that the patterns and their dependent
patterns and packages are installed.
If you click Accept, then return to software pattern selection page, the selections that you made
become your base selections and must be deselected if you want to remove them from the
installation proposal.
6 Continue through the installation process until you reach the Novell Open Enterprise Server
Configuration page, then do one of the following:
Configure Novell Cluster Services now: If eDirectory is already installed and running in
your environment and you want to configure clustering for the server now, continue with
Section 3.6.3, "Enabling the Novell Cluster Services Configuration Page in YaST," on
page
Configure Novell Cluster Services later: Continue with the rest of the OES installation,
but do not configure clustering. You can configure clustering later by using YaST > Open
Enterprise Server > OES Install and Configuration to access the Novell Open Enterprise
Server Configuration page. For information, see

3.5.2 Installing Novell Cluster Services on an Existing OES 2
Linux Server
If you did not install Novell Cluster Services during the OES 2 Linux installation, you can install it
later by using YaST > Open Enterprise Server > OES Install and Configuration.
IMPORTANT: If you want Novell Cluster Services to use a local eDirectory database on the
existing server, we recommend that you install and configure eDirectory before installing Novell
Cluster Services.
