Considerations For Working With Shared Nss Pools And Volumes In The Cluster; Novell Afp For Linux - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP 2 - CLUSTER SERVICES 1.8.7 FOR LINUX Manual

Novell CIFS must be installed, configured, and running before you can specify CIFS as an
advertising protocol when cluster-enabling an NSS pool. Novell CIFS for Linux is installed by
selecting Novell CIFS from the OES Services menu in the YaST install interface. For information
about Novell CIFS for Linux, see the

10.1.7 Novell AFP for Linux

Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) is the Macintosh* networking protocol. The Novell AFP for Linux
service is available beginning in the OES 2 SP1 Linux release. Novell AFP is required when you
want to give Macintosh clients access via AFP to volumes on the shared NSS pool.
WARNING: To prevent possible data corruption, make sure that the NCP Cross-Protocol File
Locks parameter is enabled for NCP Server on all nodes in the cluster before you allow access to the
data via Novell AFP. For information, see
in the OES 2 SP2: NCP Server for Linux Administration
Novell AFP must be installed, configured, and running before you can specify AFP as an advertising
protocol when cluster-enabling an NSS pool. Novell AFP for Linux is installed by selecting Novell
AFP from the OES Services menu in the YaST install interface. For information about Novell AFP

10.2 Considerations for Working with Shared
NSS Pools and Volumes in the Cluster
Consider the following when working with shared NSS pools and volumes in the cluster:
When the pool cluster resource is brought online, the pool is automatically activated by the
resource load script. You don't need to activate the pool at the terminal console.
If you delete a volume from a cluster-enabled pool, Novell Cluster Services automatically
removes the volume mount command from the resource load script.
If you delete a cluster-enabled pool, Novell Cluster Services automatically removes the Pool
Resource object and the virtual server object from Novell eDirectory
the cluster resource before you attempt to delete the clustered pool or its cluster resource. For
information, see
Before you rename a cluster-enabled pool, make sure to offline the pool resource, activate the
pool by using iManager or NSSMU, rename the pool, then online the pool resource.
Novell Cluster Services automatically updates the pool resource load and unload scripts to
reflect the name change. Also, NSS automatically changes the Pool Resource object name in
eDirectory.
To create or modify volumes, home directories, Distributed File Services junctions, or any
other elements that are managed using eDirectory objects, you must cluster migrate the pool
resource back to the node where it was created before you perform those management tasks.
