Assigning Preferred Peer Clusters For The Resource - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.2.1 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

The search-and-replace values you specify here apply to only to the resource you are enabling
for business continuity. If you want the search-and-replace values to apply to any or all cluster
resources, add them to the entire cluster instead of just to a specific resource.
IMPORTANT: If you change the resource-specific search-and-replace data after initially
adding it, you must update the resource load script and unload script in one of the peer clusters
by editing it and adding a space or a comment to it. This causes the script to be updated with the
new search-and-replace data.
See "Adding Search-and-Replace Values to the Resource Replacement Script" on page 88
more information on resource script search-and-replace values and adding those values to the
entire cluster.

12.4 Assigning Preferred Peer Clusters for the
Resource
The cluster resource is configured on its primary cluster. Preferred peer clusters are the other clusters
that a cluster resource can be migrated to in a business continuity cluster. You specify to the
resource's Assigned clusters list where the resource can be migrated. You can migrate a resource
only to one of the clusters that has been selected.
When you add a new peer cluster (or remove a cluster and add it back in) to the business continuity
cluster, the new cluster is automatically listed in the Not Assigned list for each of the existing cluster
resources. You must manually assign the peer cluster to the Assigned list of preferred clusters for
each of the cluster resources that you want to be able to fail over to it.
1 In the Assigned list, specify the preferred peer clusters for fail over and their preferred failover
order.
Select a peer cluster, then click the left-arrow or right-arrow button to move it to the the
Assigned list or Unassigned list. Select a peer cluster, then use the up-arrow and down-arrow
buttons to change the preferred failover order of the peer clusters in the Assigned list.
IMPORTANT: By default, the cluster resource can fail over to any node in the preferred peer
cluster. That is, all nodes in a peer cluster appear on the Assigned Nodes list for that resource on
that cluster.
