Verifying NCS Cluster Creation

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, NetWare 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 NetWare 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. NetWare 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 minimum of 10 megabytes 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 not be usable by NetWare Cluster Services.
7. Continue through the final installation screen. The NetWare 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 a new cluster has been created, you now need to create cluster resources
and configure those resources.
Create a simple volume object (note you will need to create an NSS volume
from NetWare first). Be sure to add the server nodes to the resource so the
resources can start. Bring up the resource and force a migration. You should
be able to see the monitor utility load and unload on the local server console
screens.
