Run The Installation Program - Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual

Run the Installation Program

To install Novell Cluster Services, insert the NetWare 6 Operating System CD
in a NetWare client workstation and allow the NetWare Deployment Manager
to automatically launch. You can also run NWDEPLOY.EXE from the root of
the CD to launch the NetWare Deployment Manager. After starting the
NetWare Deployment Manager, complete the following steps:
In the NetWare Deployment Manager, open the Post-Installation Tasks
1
folder and click Install or Upgrade a Novell Cluster.
Continue through the installation screens until you get to the screen that
prompts you to create a new cluster, add new nodes to an existing cluster,
or upgrade software in an existing cluster.
Click Create a New Cluster, Add New Nodes to Existing Cluster, or
2
Upgrade Software in Existing Cluster, and then click Next.
The Skip File Copy check box is checked by default and prevents Novell
Cluster Services files from being copied during the installation. The
NetWare 6 installation program automatically copies all Novell Cluster
Services files to every NetWare 6 server. If you want to refresh Novell
Cluster Services files on cluster servers you should uncheck the Skip File
Copy check box. Even though Novell Cluster Services files already exist
on each NetWare 6 server, you still need to run the Novell Cluster
Services installation program to configure and set up cluster nodes.
Leaving the Skip File Copy check box unchecked will cause existing
Novell Cluster Services files to be copied over, but will not otherwise
affect the installation.
