Novell Edirectory 8.8 - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.1 SP1 - 9-21-2010 ADMINISTRATION GUIDE FOR OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 1 SP2 LINUX Administration Manual

IMPORTANT: Novell Business Continuity Clustering 1.1 for Linux is not supported on Novell
Open Enterprise Server 2 for Linux (OES 2 Linux).
The latest OES 1 Linux patches from the patch channel are required prior to installing Business
Continuity Clustering 1.1. For instructions on updating OES 1 Linux with the latest patches, see
Patching an OES 1 Linux Server (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes/install_linux/data/
bxlu3xc.html)
For more information on applying patches by using the YaST online update or Red Carpet

2.1.3 Novell eDirectory 8.8

Novell eDirectory
the eDirectory 8.8 documentation (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/)
information.
IMPORTANT: When you install the Business Continuity Clustering engine software, the
eDirectory schema is automatically extended in the eDirectory tree where the BCC software is
installed. You need to be able to provide the credentials to authorize the schema extension during the
install.
If the eDirectory administrator username or password contains special characters (such as $, #, and
so on), make sure to escape each special character by preceding it with a backslash (\) when you
enter credentials.
The Identity Manager engine and eDirectory driver must be installed on one node in each cluster.
The node where Identity Manager is installed must have an eDirectory full 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.
IMPORTANT: Full eDirectory replicas are required. Filtered eDirectory replicas are not supported
with this version of Business Continuity Clustering software.
The eDirectory full replica must have at least read/write access to the following containers:

The Identity Manager driver set container.

The container where the Cluster object resides.

The container where the server objects reside.
If server objects reside in multiple containers, this must be a container high enough in the tree
to be above all containers that contain server objects.
Best practice is to have all server objects in one container.

The container where the cluster pool and volume objects are placed when they are
synchronized to this cluster. This container is referred to as the landing zone. The NCP server
objects for the virtual server of a BCC-enabled resource are also placed in the landing zone.
If the eDirectory full replica does not have read/write access to the containers listed above, cluster
resource synchronization and user object synchronization do not work properly.
