Add Servers to the Cluster
After creating your cluster, you will need to run the NetWare Cluster Services
installation again each time you want to add additional servers to your cluster.
If you plan to add new nodes to an existing cluster in the future, you should
reserve those nodes before bringing up your cluster. To reserve future nodes
before bringing up your cluster:
1.
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Cluster object and select Properties.
This will bring up the Cluster Object property page.
2.
Select the Protocol tab and then Internals.
3.
Add the IP address and node number of your future node to the
Node IP address mapping table.
For example, if the IP address of your new node is 123.45.67.89 and the
next unused cluster node number is 6, add the following line.
nodeid 123.45.67.89 6
If you don’t reserve future nodes, each time you want to add a new node you
will need to run the installation program again, and also temporarily remove all
existing servers from the cluster and then have them join the cluster again. This
is necessary for the existing servers in the cluster to recognize any new servers
you have added to the cluster.
To add additional servers to the cluster after creating the cluster, complete the
following steps.
1.
Complete the installation procedure in “Begin the Installation” on
page 11.
Follow the instructions for editing an existing cluster. When you get to
the step to reboot new cluster servers after installation, choose not to
reboot.
2.
Type CLUSTER DOWN at the server console on any server in the
cluster.
This will cause all servers in the cluster to leave the cluster at exactly the
same time. All loaded resources will be automatically unloaded. If all
servers don’t leave the cluster at exactly the same time, resources will
