13.10 Problem Authenticating to Remote Servers
during Cluster Configuration
During the Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 Linux cluster installation and configuration, if
you choose Remote System on the Novell Cluster Services LDAP Configuration page and you have
LDAP configured to point to a NetWare
fails.
To work around this problem, you must edit the
certificates (
TLS_REQCERT <level>
(
TLS_CACERT <filename>

13.11 Problem Connecting to an iSCSI Target

If you are connecting to an iSCSI target that already has NSS partitions and pools created on it, you
might not be able to access those NSS partitions and pools until you either reboot the Linux initiator
server or run the
evms_activate
Linux initiator server that will access the iSCSI target.
For instructions on configuring an OES 2 Linux server as an iSCSI initiator and connecting to an
iSCSI target, go to "Mass Storage over IP Networks--iSCSI" (http://www.novell.com/
documentation/sles10/sles_admin/data/cha_inst_system_iscsi.html)
Server 10 Administration Guide.
13.12 Problem Deleting a Cluster Resource or
Clustered Pool
If you attempt to delete a cluster resource or clustered pool without first offlining the cluster
resource, deletion errors occur, and the data associated with the clustered pool is not recoverable.
To avoid this problem, offline the cluster resource before attempting to delete either the cluster
resource or the clustered pool.

13.14 Can't Find the Prevent Cascading Failover
Option
Novell Cluster Services for NetWare provides a Preventing Cascading Failovers option. Its behavior
was controlled using the
for Linux?
Cascading failover prevention was not implemented for Linux because user space applications
(cluster resources) typically cannot cause a kernel failure and cascade failure of other kernels due to
failing over user space code, as compared to ring0 NLMs on NetWare.
