Novell Edirectory 8.8.5 - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.2.1 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Peer Cluster Credentials
To add or change peer cluster credentials, you must access iManager on a server that is in the same
eDirectory tree as the cluster where you are adding or changing peer credentials.

Novell eDirectory 8.8.5 is supported with Business Continuity Clustering 1.2.1. See the
8.8.5 documentation (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/index.html)
information.

eDirectory Containers for Clusters
Each of the clusters that you want to add to a business continuity cluster should reside in its own OU
level container. Each OU should reside in a different eDirectory partition.
As a best practice for each of the peer clusters, put its Server objects, Cluster object, Driver objects,
and Landing Zone in a the same eDirectory partition.
For example:
ou=cluster1
ou=cluster1LandingZone
cn=cluster1
c1server35
c1server36
c1server37 (IDM node with read/
write access to ou=cluster1)
cluster1BCCDrivers
c1toc2BCCDriver
c1toc3BCCDriver
Rights Needed for Installing BCC
The first time that you install the Business Continuity Clustering engine software in an eDirectory
tree, the eDirectory schema is automatically extended with BCC objects.
IMPORTANT: The user who installs BCC must have the eDirectory credentials necessary to
extend the schema.
