Section 6.2.1, "Enabling Clusters for Business Continuity," on page 73
Section 6.2.2, "Adding Cluster Peer Credentials," on page 74

6.2.1 Enabling Clusters for Business Continuity
If you want to enable a cluster to fail over selected resources or all cluster resources to another
cluster, you must enable business continuity on that 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 server that has iManager and the Identity Manager
preconfigured templates for iManager installed. This server should be in the same eDirectory
tree as the cluster you are enabling for business continuity.
2 Specify your username and password, specify the tree where you want to log in, then click
Login.
3 Ensure that the BCC-specific Identity Manager drivers are running:
3a In the left column, click Identity Manager, and then click the Identity Manager Overview
link.
3b Search the eDirectory Container or tree for the BCC-specific Identity Manager drivers.
3c For each driver, click the upper right corner of the driver icon to see if a driver is started or
stopped.
3d If the driver is stopped, start it by selecting Start.
4 In the left column, click Clusters, then click the Cluster Options link.
5 Specify a cluster name, or browse and select one.
