Creating a Traditional Linux Volume Cluster Resource
Creating a cluster resource for a traditional Linux volume allows it to be moved or mounted on
different servers in the cluster.
1 Start your Internet browser and enter the URL for iManager.
The URL is http://server_ip_address/nps/imanager.html. Replace server_ip_address with the
IP address or DNS name of an OES server in the cluster that has iManager installed or with the
IP address for Apache-based services.
2 Enter your username and password.
3 In the left column, locate Clusters, then click the Cluster Options link.
iManager displays four links under Clusters that you can use to configure and manage your
cluster.
4 Specify the cluster name or browse and select it, then click the New link.
5 Specify Resource as the resource type you want to create by clicking the Resource radio button,
then click Next.
6 Specify the name of the resource you want to create.
This is the name you will assign the resource for the cluster-enabled volume.
7 In the Inherit From Template field, specify the Generic_FS_Template.

Linux Volume Load Scripts
Configuring Traditonal Linux Volume Load Scripts
The resource load script specifies the commands to start the resource (including mounting the file
system) on a server in the cluster, and is required for each Linux volume you cluster enable.
If you are creating a new cluster resource, the load script page should already be displayed. You can
start with Step 4.
1 In the left column of the main iManager page, locate Clusters, then click the Cluster Options
link.
2 Type the cluster name or browse and select it, select the box next to the resource whose load
script you want to edit, then click the Properties link.
3 Click the Scripts tab, then click the Load Script link.
4 Edit or add the necessary commands to the script to load the resource on the server.
The generic file system template you specified in
must edit to supply information specific to your file system resource.
The load script from the generic file system template should appear similar to the following
example:
#! /bin/bash
. /opt/novell/ncs/lib/ncsfuncs
# define the IP address
RESOURCE_IP=a.b.c.d
# define the file system type
MOUNT_FS=reiserfs
