Extending The Schema; Assigning Install Rights For Container Administrators - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP 2 - CLUSTER SERVICES 1.8.7 FOR LINUX Manual

Parameter Description
admin_password The password of the administrator user.
server_ip_address The IP address of the eDirectory server that
contains the schema files.

3.3.2 Extending the Schema

You need to extend the schema only one time in the tree where you will be installing clusters.
IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to extend the schema separately from the Novell Cluster Services
installation if the installer of the first cluster server in the tree has the eDirectory rights necessary to
change the schema, because the schema can be automatically extended during the install.
To extend the schema separately from the first cluster installation in the tree, the tree administrator
user modifies the schema files as follows:
1 On an OES 2 SP1 Linux (or later) server, open a terminal console, then log in as the
to the tree.
2 In a text editor, create a text file, specify the configuration information for the Novell Cluster
Services cluster in it, then save the file.
The following lines are an example of the content of the file with sample values. The directives
are self-explanatory.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the values inside the quotation marks to the actual
settings for your cluster.

CONFIG_NCS_ADMIN_DN="cn=admin.o=context"
