6.5 Adding New OES 2 Linux Nodes to Your
NetWare Cluster
You can add new OES 2 Linux cluster nodes to your existing NetWare 6.5 cluster without bringing
down the cluster.
1 Before you add the first Linux node to the NetWare cluster, if the NetWare cluster uses an SBD,
make sure that the device (or devices) being used by the SBD are marked as Shareable for
Clustering.
You can use NSSMU or iManager to mark the SBD devices as shareable. It is not necessary to
bring the cluster down when changing the device attribute to Shareable for Clustering.
Using NSSMU:
1a Log in to the master node of the NetWare cluster as the administrator user.
1b Enter
at the server console prompt.
nssmu
1c In the NSSMU main menu, select Devices.
1d In the Devices list, highlight the device that contains the SBD partition, then press F5 to
select it.
1e Press F6 to mark the device as Shareable for Clustering.
1f If the SBD partition is mirrored, repeat
as Shareable for Clustering.
1g Press Esc to exit NSSMU.
2 Install OES 2 Linux on the new node, but do not install the Novell Cluster Services option from
OES Services at this time.
See the
"OES 2 SP2: Installation
3 Set up and verify SAN connectivity for the new OES 2 Linux node.
Consult your SAN vendor documentation for SAN setup and connectivity instructions.
4 Install Cluster Services and add the new node to your existing NetWare 6.5 cluster.
See
Section 3.5.2, "Installing Novell Cluster Services on an Existing OES 2 Linux Server," on
page 44
for more information.
5 If you have a shared disk system on the cluster, enter
console to verify that the node can see the cluster (SBD) partition on the SAN.
will also tell you the device on the SAN where the SBD partition is located.
sbdutil -f
6 Start cluster software by going to the
