Novell Cluster Services Overview and Installation
2 0
Enter the name of the server you want to add to the cluster, or browse and
4
select one from the list, and then click Add to Cluster. Repeat this step for
every server you want to add to the cluster. Then click Next.
You can also remove servers you just added to the cluster by selecting
them from the NetWare Servers in Cluster list and clicking Remove.
When you add a server to a cluster, Novell Cluster Services automatically
detects the server's IP address. If the server you are adding has more than
one IP address, you will be prompted to select the IP address you want
Novell Cluster Services to use.
Enter a uniqe IP address for the cluster.
5
The cluster IP address is separate from the server IP address and is
required for certain external network management programs to get cluster
status alerts. The cluster IP address provides a single point of cluster
access for NetWare Remote Manager. A Master IP Address resource is
created automatically during the Cluster Services installation that makes
this possible.
The cluster IP address will be bound to the master node and will remain
with the master node regardless of which server is the master node.
(Conditional) If you are creating a new cluster, specify whether your
6
cluster has a shared disk system and, if so, select the drive where you want
the small cluster partition created. Then click Next.
Novell Cluster Services requires a small cluster partition on the shared
disk system. You are also given the option of mirroring the partition for
greater fault tolerance.
You must have at least 10 MB of free space that is not part of an
I M P O R T A N T :
NSS partition on one of the shared disk drives to create the cluster partition. If no
free space is available, the shared disk drives can't be used by Novell Cluster
Services.
If you previously installed Novell Cluster Services and created a cluster
with the same name, the installation program will detect that a cluster
partition has already been created and this screen will not appear.
Choose whether or not you want the servers you are upgrading or adding
7
to your cluster to start Novell Cluster Services software after the
installation. Then click Next.
