Changing Cluster Peer Credentials; Viewing The Current Status Of A Business Continuity Cluster - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.1 SP1 - 9-21-2010 ADMINISTRATION GUIDE FOR OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 1 SP2 LINUX Administration Manual

2.5.2 Changing Cluster Peer Credentials

Changing cluster peer credentials consists of changing the username and password for the
administrative user that the selected cluster will use to connect to a selected peer cluster. You might
need to do this if the administrator username or password changes for any clusters in the business
continuity cluster.
1 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 Linux server that has iManager and the Identity Manager
preconfigured templates for iManager installed.
IMPORTANT: In order to add or change cluster peer credentials, you must access iManager
on a server that is in the same eDirectory tree as the cluster you are adding or changing peer
credentials for.
2 Specify your username and password, specify the tree where you want to log in, then click
Login.
3 In the left column, click Cluster Administration, then click the Management link.
4 Specify a cluster name, or browse and select one.
5 Click Connections and select a peer cluster.
6 Edit the administrator username and password that the selected cluster will use to connect to
the selected peer cluster, then click OK.
When specifying a username, you don't need to include the Novell eDirectory context for the
user name.
NOTE: If the business continuity cluster has clusters in multiple eDirectory trees, and you
specify a common username and password, each eDirectory tree in the business continuity
cluster must have the same username and password.
2.5.3 Viewing the Current Status of a Business Continuity
Cluster
You can view the current status of your business continuity cluster by using either iManager or the
server console of a cluster in the business continuity cluster.
