10.5 Cluster-Enabling an Existing NSS Pool and
Its Volumes
Cluster-enabling a pool allows it (and its volumes) to be moved or mounted on different servers in
the cluster in a manner that supports transparent client reconnect. If you have a shared disk system
that is part of your cluster and you want the pools and volumes on the shared disk system to be
highly available to NCP clients, you must cluster-enable those pools and volumes.
IMPORTANT: You can cluster-enable pools when you create them by following the procedures in
Section 10.3, "Creating NSS Shared Disk Partitions and Pools," on page 137
"Creating NSS Volumes on a Shared Pool," on page
This procedure describes how to enable clustering for an existing pool and its volumes. It assumes
the following:
The device and pool are enabled as Shareable for Clustering.
The pool contains at least one volume.
The pool resides on the server where it and its volumes were created.
The pool and its volumes have Storage objects in the eDirectory tree where you are setting up
the cluster.
If the objects are missing, you can use the Update eDirectory options in the Storage plug-in for
NSS to create them in eDirectory. For information, see
and "Updating eDirectory Volume
Guide.

The quota is the maximum possible size of the
volume. If you have more than one volume per
pool, you can specify a quota for each volume
rather than allowing multiple volumes to grow to
the pool size.
