IMPORTANT: Because cluster-enabling the volumes where domains and post offices reside is so
strongly recommended, this documentation does not include the steps for setting up domains and
post offices on non-cluster-enabled volumes. If you decide not to cluster-enable GroupWise
volumes, you should adjust the steps presented in this documentation for your system's specialized
needs. Novell Cluster Services does provide a GroupWise Mail Server template for use when
creating GroupWise Cluster Resource objects instead of cluster-enabled Volume Resource objects.
2.7 Ensuring Successful Name Resolution for
GroupWise Volumes
Because you are using cluster-enabled volumes for GroupWise domains and post offices, you must
ensure that short name resolution is always successful. For example, in ConsoleOne, if you right-
click a Domain object in the GroupWise View and then click Connect, ConsoleOne must be able to
resolve the domain database location, as provided in the UNC Path field, to the network address of
the current, physical location of that domain within your cluster. It is through short name resolution
that all GroupWise cluster resources (such as domain and post office volumes) are accessed and
managed in ConsoleOne.
A client program (such as ConsoleOne) that runs on a Windows* workstation, can be configured to
use several different short name resolution methods. To see which methods are in use at a particular
workstation, view the protocol preferences for the Novell Client
that is installed on the Windows
TM
workstation:
