Installing The Dirxml 1.1A Engine - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.0 - ADMINISTRATION Manual

2.2 Installing the DirXML 1.1a Engine

DirXML® 1.1a or later must be installed on one node in each cluster. DirXML 1.1a is part of the
DirXML Starter Pack that is included with NetWare 6.5. The node where DirXML is installed must
have an eDirectory replica with at least read/write access to all eDirectory objects that will be
synchronized between clusters. This does not apply to all eDirectory objects in the tree.
NOTE: Filtered eDirectory replicas are not supported with this version of Business Continuity
Cluster software. Full replicas are required.
IMPORTANT: The eDirectory replica must have at least read/write access to the following
containers.
If the eDirectory replica does not have read/write access to the containers listed above,
synchronization will not work properly.
IMPORTANT: If you downloaded NetWare 6.5, DirXML 1.1a might not be included with the
download. You may have to download it separately.
Instructions for installing the DirXML Starter Pack are provided here. For additional information on
installing and configuring DirXML, see the
