Installing or Upgrading Novell Cluster Services

Novell Cluster Services Licensing

When working with shared storage, do not attach a noncluster server to the
same shared storage device as a cluster unless you have isolated the storage so
that the noncluster server has access only to its own volumes. Failure to do so
will result in data corruption or volume loss.
It is necessary to run the Novell Cluster Services installation program when
you
Create a new cluster
Add new nodes to an existing cluster
Upgrade Novell Cluster Services software in an existing cluster
If you are running the Novell Cluster Services installation program to create a
new cluster, the program automatically
Creates a new Cluster object in eDirectory
Installs Novell Cluster Services software on the servers you specify to be
part of your cluster
After running the Novell Cluster Services installation the first time to create a
new cluster, you will need to run the Novell Cluster Services installation again
each time you want to add new servers to your cluster or upgrade Novell
Cluster Services software on an existing cluster.
Novell Cluster Services requires a Cluster Server License for each server that
is part of the cluster. The Cluster Server License allows a server to join a
cluster. Cluster Server License objects are created in the same eDirectory
context as the Cluster object.
Cluster Server Licenses for a two-node cluster are already provided with
NetWare 6 and are automatically added during the Novell Cluster Services
installation. You only need additional Cluster Server Licenses if you have a
three-node or larger cluster. Additional Cluster Server Licenses can be
obtained from Novell or from your Novell Authorized Reseller .
