Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP 2 - CLUSTER SERVICES 1.8.7 FOR LINUX Manual page 141

When you cluster-enable a pool, a virtual Server object is automatically created in Novell
eDirectory and given the name of the Cluster object plus the name of the cluster-enabled
TM
pool. For example, if the cluster name is
, then the default virtual server name will be
pool1
edit the field to change the default virtual server name.
CIFS Virtual Server Name: The name (up to 15 characters) assigned to the virtual server
for handling CIFS requests. This is the name of the server as it appears in a Windows
system. Press Enter to modify the suggested name, type the name, then press Enter to
continue to the next field.
By default, the suggested CIFS virtual server name follows the format of
clustername_poolname_W
maximum length, the default name is shortened by removing characters from the left.
IP Address: Press Enter, specify the IP address that you want to assign the virtual server,
then press Enter to continue to the next field.
Make sure to type the dots between the address fields. For example, if the IP address is
, type the following:
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1
Advertising Protocols: Protocols that give users native file access to data.
Specify Yes next to the protocols that you want to enable for data requests to this shared
pool.
If Novell CIFS or Novell AFP are not installed and running, selecting the CIFS or AFP
check box has no effect.
NOTE: On Linux, Novell CIFS and Novell AFP are available beginning in OES 2 SP1.
For OES 2 Linux and earlier, Novell CIFS and Novell AFP are not available. CIFS and
AFP check boxes can be selected, but CIFS and AFP functionality does not apply to
Linux. Enabling the options has no effect.
NCP: NCP is the Novell networking protocol used by the Novell Client. It is
provided by default and is mandatory. Selecting NCP causes commands to be added
to the pool-resource load and unload scripts to activate the NCP protocol on the
cluster. This lets you ensure that the cluster-enabled pool you are creating is highly
available to Novell clients and that authentication and access to the file system is
enforced according to the Novell Trustee Model.
CIFS: CIFS is the Windows networking protocol. Selecting CIFS causes commands
to be added to the pool-resource load and unload scripts to activate the CIFS protocol
on the cluster. This lets you ensure that the cluster-enabled pool you are creating is
highly available to CIFS/Samba clients.
AFP: AFP is the Macintosh networking protocol. Selecting AFP causes commands
to be added to the pool-resource load and unload scripts to activate the AFP protocol
on the cluster. This lets you ensure that the cluster-enabled pool you are creating is
highly available to AFP clients.
