Enabling a Cluster Resource for Business Continuity

Cluster resources must be enabled for business continuity on the primary cluster before they can be
synchronized and appear as resources in the other clusters in the business continuity cluster.
Enabling a cluster resource makes it possible for that cluster resource or cluster pool resource to be
migrated to another cluster.
IMPORTANT: Although you can add search and replace data that is resource-specific after you
enable a resource for business continuity, we recommend adding the search and replace data for the
entire cluster before you enable resources for business continuity. See
Search and Replace Values" on page 41
entire cluster.
When you enable a resource for business continuity and that resource has been synchronized and
appears in the other clusters, the preferred nodes for the other clusters are by default set to all nodes
in the cluster. If you want to change the resource's preferred nodes for other clusters in your BCC,
you must manually do it. Changes to the preferred nodes list in the primary cluster do not
automatically replicate to the preferred nodes lists for other clusters in your BCC.
1 (Conditional) If you are creating a new cluster resource or cluster pool resource, follow the
instructions for creating a cluster resource or cluster pool resource by using iManager in the
"Setting Up Cluster Services" (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes/cluster_admin_lx/
data/h2mdblj1.html#hil7ix1s)
Administration Guide for Linux (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes/cluster_admin_lx/
data/h4hgu4hs.html), then continue with
2 Enable a cluster resource or cluster pool resource for business continuity:
2a Start your Internet browser and enter the URL for iManager.
The URL is http://server_ip_address/nps/iManager.html. Replace server_ip_address with
the IP address or DNS name of the server that has iManager and the Identity Manager
preconfigured templates for iManager installed.
2b Specify your username and password, specify the tree where you want to log in, then click
Login.
2c In the left column, click Clusters, then click the Cluster Options link.
2d Specify a cluster name, or browse and select one.
2e Select the desired cluster resource from the list of Cluster objects.
2f Click the Details link, then click the Business Continuity tab.
3 Ensure that the Enable Business Continuity Features check box is selected.

Adding Resource Script Search and Replace Values

If you did not previously add search and replace data specific to the entire cluster, you must now add
it for this resource.
IMPORTANT: Adding resource script search and replace values for the entire cluster is
recommended rather than adding those values for individual cluster resources. You should contact
Novell Support prior to adding search and replace values for individual cluster resources.
