Novell Cluster Services Configuration And Setup; Checking Nss Volume Mirror Status - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.1 SP2 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

You can add volumes to the pool later by cluster migrating the pool cluster resource back to the
original server node in the cluster where the pool was created. Otherwise, you get an eDirectory
error because the tools only look for the Pool object under its current server node, and not under the
original node where it it was created.
To create or modify home directories, Distributed File Services junctions, or any other elements that
are managed through eDirectory objects, you must cluster migrate the pool resource back to the
node where it was created before you perform those management tasks. This restriction also applies
to management tasks like renaming a pool or volume that change information in the eDirectory
objects for the shared pool or volume.
