Selecting The Messenger Partition And Secondary Ip Address; Determining An Appropriate Failover List For The Messenger Agents; Determining Cluster Resource Information For The Messenger Agents - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - INTEROPERABILITY Manual

22.1.2 Selecting the Messenger Partition and Secondary IP
Address
If you are not planning to enable archiving, or if you are not anticipating a large Messenger archive,
you can use one
anticipate archiving a large number of messages so that the Messenger archive grows very large, you
might want to have a separate Messenger partition for the Archive Agent and its archive database.
The steps in this section focus on setting up the Messenger agents on a single Messenger partition.

If you want a separate Messenger partition for archiving, under
record the name and secondary IP address of the archiving partition in your cluster.
22.1.3 Determining an Appropriate Failover List for the
Messenger Agents
By default, a Messenger partition is configured to have all nodes in the cluster in its failover list,
organized in ascending alphanumeric order. Only one node at a time can have the Messenger
partition mounted and active and the Messenger agents running. If a Messenger partition's preferred
node fails, the partition fails over to the next node in the failover list. The Messenger agents might
need to run on any node that the Messenger partition fails over to.

22.1.4 Determining Cluster Resource Information for the
Messenger Agents
A cluster resource is a
that can function successfully anywhere in the cluster. Cluster resources include the GroupWise
agents and the Messenger agents. When you are installing the Messenger agents in a cluster, the
Messenger Installation program needs to know the mount point for the
can store agent startup files, log files, SSL certificate files, and the
Messenger agents to run as a non-
Messenger agents can access the files regardless of which node in the cluster the agents are currently
running on.
