Planning A New Clustered Post Office; Planning A New Library For A Clustered Post Office - Novell GROUPWISE 7 - INTEROPERABILITY GUIDE Manual

13.4 Planning a New Clustered Post Office

The considerations involved in planning a new post office in a clustering environment are
essentially the same as for any other environment. The initial post office in a new GroupWise
system is planned on the Basic GroupWise System Worksheet. To plan additional new post offices,
review "Planning a New Post Office
Offices" in the GroupWise 7 Administration
directory, remember that it will be on a
running the GroupWise Installation program.
When you have completed the worksheet, transfer key information from the Basic GroupWise
System Worksheet or the Post Office Worksheet to the System Clustering Worksheet.
SYSTEM CLUSTERING WORKSHEET
Under Item 10: Post Office
Clustering Worksheet. Also specify the secondary IP address of the shared partition where you plan to
create the domain.
If you will create the post office on a different GroupWise partition from where the domain is located,
under Item 8: Shared Partition for Post
Worksheet. Also specify the secondary IP address of the shared partition where you plan to create the
post office.
IMPORTANT: Do not create the new post office until you are instructed to do so in
"Setting Up a Domain and a Post Office in a Linux Cluster," on page
13.5 Planning a New Library for a Clustered Post
Office
The considerations involved in planning a new library in a clustering environment are essentially the
same as for any other environment. However, in a Linux cluster, you should not plan to locate a
document storage area on a remote storage area. If you choose to place it outside the post office
directory structure, it should still be located on the same server with the post office.
You can plan a library for a clustered post office by following the standard instructions provided in
"Creating and Managing
"Basic Library Worksheet" or the
information on the System Clustering Worksheet.
