11.3 Cluster-Enabling a Linux POSIX Volume on
a Shared Disk
In order to cluster-enable the Linux POSIX volume that you created in
Linux POSIX Volumes on Shared Disks," on page
cluster resource allows the shared disk and its contents to be moved or mounted on different servers
in the cluster. The cluster resource provides a way for clients to automatically reconnect to the
volume regardless of which server is hosting it.
IMPORTANT: You can create an NCP (NetWare
POSIX volume and cluster-enable the shared NCP volume. For information, see
Volumes with Novell Cluster
Guide.
EVMS containers are the unit of failover for Linux POSIX volumes. Because the EVMS container
is the unit of failover, all volumes in a container also fail over, but only the volumes that are
mounted through the cluster resource load script are automatically mounted on failover. Any
volumes in the container that are not mounted through the resource load script must be mounted
manually.
Perform the tasks in this section to create and configure a new cluster resource. You can modify the
cluster resource settings afterwards by using the Clusters > Cluster Options > Properties option in
iManager.
