24 Novell Business Continuity Cluster Services 1.0 Administration Guide
The Business Continuity Cluster software installation program upgrades some of the core
cluster NLM™ programs (or files). Because of this, you must restart each cluster node before
performing further configuration or using your business continuity clusters.
Restarting the cluster nodes can be performed in a rolling fashion in which one server is
restarted while the other servers in the cluster continue running. Then another server is
restarted, and then another, until all servers in the cluster have been restarted.
This lets you keep your cluster up and running and lets your users continue to access the
network while cluster nodes are being restarted.
