Slp - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.2.1 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

If the eDirectory administrator username or password contains special characters (such as $, #, and
so on), you might need to escape each special character by preceding it with a backslash (\) when
you enter credentials for some interfaces.
Rights Needed for Individual Cluster Management
The BCC Administrator user is not automatically assigned the rights necessary to manage all aspects
of each peer cluster. When managing individual clusters, you must log in as the Cluster
Administrator user. You can manually assign the Cluster Administrator rights to the BCC
Administrator user for each of the peer clusters if you want the BCC Administrator user to have all
rights.
Rights Needed for BCC Management
Before you install BCC, create the BCC Administrator user and group identities in eDirectory to use
when you manage the BCC. For information, see
User and Group," on page
Rights Needed for Identity Manager
The node where Identity Manager is installed must have an eDirectory full replica with at least
Read/Write access to all eDirectory objects that will be synchronized between clusters. You can also
have the eDirectory master running on the node instead of the replica.
The replica does not need to contain all eDirectory objects in the tree. The eDirectory full replica
must have at least read/write access to the following containers in order for the cluster resource
synchronization and user object synchronization to work properly:
The Identity Manager driver set container.
The container where the Cluster object resides.
The container where the Server objects reside.
If Server objects reside in multiple containers, this must be a container high enough in the tree
to be above all containers that contain Server objects.
The best practice is to have all Server objects in one container.
The container where the cluster Pool objects and Volume objects are placed when they are
synchronized to this cluster. This container is referred to as the landing zone. The NCP
objects for the virtual server of a BCC-enabled resource are also placed in the landing zone.
The container where the User objects reside that need to be synchronized. Typically, the User
objects container is in the same partition as the cluster objects.
IMPORTANT: Full eDirectory replicas are required. Filtered eDirectory replicas are not supported
with this version of Business Continuity Clustering software.

4.1.6 SLP

You must have SLP (Server Location Protocol) set up and configured properly on each server node
in every cluster. Typically, SLP is installed as part of the eDirectory installation and setup when you
install the server operating system for the server. For information, see
Location Protocol" (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/edir88/data/ba5lb4b.html)
