Configuring Bcc For Peer Clusters; Enabling Clusters For Business Continuity - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.2.1 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Configuring BCC for Peer Clusters

1 0
After you have installed and configured Identity Manager, the Novell
Clustering software, and the Identity Manager drivers for BCC, you are ready to set up the Novell
Cluster Services clusters to form a business continuity cluster.
TM
IMPORTANT: Identity Manager must be configured and running on one node in each peer cluster
before configuring clusters for business continuity. Make sure that the Identity Manager server is
part of the cluster and that it is working properly whenever you make BCC configuration changes to
the cluster. For information, see
page 71.
Preform the following tasks on each peer Novell Cluster Services cluster that you want to be part of
the business continuity cluster:

10.1 Enabling Clusters for Business Continuity

You can enable two to four clusters to form a business continuity cluster. Enable BCC for each
Novell Cluster Services cluster that you want to add to the business continuity 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 must 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 Roles and Tasks, click Identity Manager, then click the Identity Manager Overview
link.
3b Search the eDirectory Container or tree for the BCC-specific Identity Manager drivers.
