Verifying Ncs Cluster Creation - Compaq 124708-001 - ProLiant Cluster - 1850 Software User's Manual

5. Enter the name of the server node you want to add to the cluster, or
browse and select one from the list, and then click Add to Cluster.
Repeat this step for the second server node to add to the cluster. When
you add a server node to a cluster, Novell Cluster Services automatically
detects the server node's IP address. If the server node you are adding
has more than one IP address, you will be prompted to select the IP
address you want Novell Cluster Services to use.
6. Specify that your cluster has a shared disk system, then select the drive
where you want the small cluster partition created. Novell Cluster
Services requires a small cluster partition on the shared disk system.
You are also given the option of mirroring the partition for greater fault
tolerance.
IMPORTANT: You must have a small amount of free space on one of the shared disk
drives to create the cluster partition. If no free space is available, the shared disk drives
will be unusable by Novell Cluster Services.
7. Continue through the final installation screen. The Novell Cluster
Services installation program will then create a new cluster for you and
add the server nodes you specified in the install to the cluster.
After creating a new cluster, you now need to create cluster resources and
configure those resources. You also should consider adding NetWare volumes
to the cluster and creating cluster resource templates.

Verifying NCS Cluster Creation

Create a simple application cluster resource object via a "load monitor." Be
sure to add the server nodes to the resource so the resources can startup. Start
up the resource and force a migration. On the local server console screens you
should be able to see the monitor utility load and unload.
Create a simple volume object (note you will need to create a NSS volume
from NetWare first). Be sure to add the server nodes to the resource so the
resources can startup. Start up the resource and force a migration. On the local
server console screens you should be able to see the monitor utility load and
unload.
