The Cluster Enable on Creation option is also enabled by default. If you want to cluster-enable
the pool at the same time it is created, accept the default entry (Yes) and continue with
you want to cluster-enable the pool at a later date, change the default entry from Yes to No,
select Create, and then go to
6 Specify the virtual server name, IP address, and advertising protocols.
When you cluster-enable a pool, a virtual Server object is automatically created and given the
name of the Cluster object plus the cluster-enabled pool. For example, if the cluster name is
and the cluster-enabled pool name is
cluster1
cluster1_pool1_server
Each cluster-enabled NSS pool requires its own IP address. The IP address is used to provide
access and failover capability to the cluster-enabled pool (virtual server). The IP address you
assign to the pool remains assigned to the pool regardless of which server in the cluster is
accessing the pool.
The NCP option is selected by default. NCP
enforce the Novell trustee model of file access for all users of the data, and also as an
advertising protocol for NCP clients. Selecting NCP causes commands to be added to the pool
resource load and unload scripts to activate the NCP protocol on the cluster.
IMPORTANT: Using the CIFS check box or the AFP check box requires that Novell CIFS for
Linux or Novell AFP for Linux is already installed and configured on the nodes in the cluster
and nodes in the peer clusters where you want to be able to fail over this pool cluster resource.
Select the CIFS check box to add it as an advertising protocol. Specify a CIFS share name for
users to access the resource. Selecting CIFS causes commands to be added to the pool resource
load and unload scripts to activate the Novell CIFS for Linux protocol on the cluster.
Select the AFP check box to add it as an advertising protocol. Selecting AFP causes commands
to be added to the pool resource load and unload scripts to activate the Novell AFP for Linux
protocol on the cluster.
