Section 13.7.2, “Agent Clustering Worksheet,” on page 141 . You are now ready to complete the
following tasks to set up GroupWise

14.1 Setting Up a New GroupWise System in a
Linux Cluster
The GroupWise Installation program walks you through setting up the primary domain and an initial
post office in the primary domain. You might be creating your primary domain and initial post office
on the same
GroupWise partition or on two different partitions. After you have created the primary
domain and initial post office and then installed the GroupWise agents on multiple nodes in the
cluster, you can create additional secondary domains and post offices as needed.
To set up the primary domain and initial post office for a new GroupWise system in a clustering
environment:
1 Start with the first node on the domain failover list ( Agent Clustering Worksheet item 2 ).
2 Make sure that ConsoleOne
®
is installed on the node.
If necessary, you can download ConsoleOne for Linux from the Novell Product Downloads site
(http://download.novell.com) . ConsoleOne is always installed in
/usr/Consoleone
.
3 If necessary, mount the GroupWise partition where you want to create the GroupWise software
distribution directory ( System Clustering Worksheet item 6 ).
4
Mount the GroupWise partition for the domain ( System Clustering Worksheet item 7 ) and, if
needed, the GroupWise partition for the post office ( System Clustering Worksheet item 8 ),
where the primary domain and the initial post office for your new GroupWise system will be
created.
5 From the GroupWise 7 Administrator for Linux CD, run the GroupWise Installation program,
as described in “ Starting the GroupWise Installation Program on Linux ” in “ Installing a Basic
GroupWise System ” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide .
