Bringing A Downed Cluster Back In Service; Changing Peer Cluster Credentials - Novell BUSINESS CONTINUITY CLUSTERING 1.2.1 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

looking at the cluster itself, such as Running or Offline. If the cluster resource is not assigned to
the cluster you are managing from (that is, not in the current cluster), then the status is shown as
Secondary.
6 In the list of cluster, select the cluster where you want to migrate the selected resources, then
click OK.
The resources migrate to their preferred node on the destination cluster. If you select Any
Configured Peer as the destination cluster, the Business Continuity Clustering software
chooses a destination cluster for you. The destination cluster that is chosen is the first cluster
that is up in the peer clusters list for this resource.
7 View the state of the migrated resources by selecting Clusters > BCC Manager, then select the
Cluster object of the cluster where you have migrated the resources.
The migration or failover of NSS pools or other resources between peer clusters can take
additional time compared to migrating between nodes in the same cluster. Until the resource
achieves a Running state, iManager shows multiple states as the resource is unloaded from the
node in the source cluster and loaded successfully on its preferred node in the destination
cluster.

11.2 Bringing a Downed Cluster Back in Service

If a cluster has been totally downed (all nodes are down concurrently), the peer clusters do not
automatically recognize the cluster if you bring the nodes back online.
To bring the downed cluster back into service in the business continuity cluster:
1 Bring up only a single node in the cluster.
2 At the terminal console of this node, enter
cluster resetresources
3 Bring up the remainder of the nodes.

11.3 Changing Peer Cluster Credentials

You can change the credentials that are used by a one peer cluster to connect to another peer cluster.
You might need to do this if the administrator username or password changes for any clusters in the
business continuity cluster. To do this, you change the username and password for the administrative
user who the selected cluster uses to connect to another selected peer cluster.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the new administrator username meets the requirements specified in
Section 4.3, "Configuring a BCC Administrator User and Group," on page
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 Linux server that has iManager and the Identity Manager
preconfigured templates for iManager installed.
IMPORTANT: In order to add or change peer cluster credentials, you must access iManager
on a server that is in the same eDirectory tree as the cluster you are adding or changing peer
credentials for.
