Planning GroupWise in a
Heartbeat Cluster
The majority of this part of the GroupWise 7 Interoperability Guide ( Chapter 30, “Planning
GroupWise in a Heartbeat Cluster,” on page 285 through Chapter 36, “Backing Up a GroupWise
System in a Heartbeat Cluster,” on page 363 ) is designed for those who are creating a new
GroupWise
®
system, or at least new domains and post offices, in a Heartbeat cluster on Linux.
If you already have an existing GroupWise 7 system on Linux and need to configure it to work in a
newly installed Heartbeat cluster, see
Chapter 38, “Moving an Existing Linux GroupWise 7 System
into a Heartbeat Cluster,” on page 367 .
When you implement a new GroupWise system or a new domain or post office in a clustering
environment, overall GroupWise system design does not need to change substantially. For a review,
see “
Installing a Basic GroupWise System ” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide . However, the
configuration of individual components of your GroupWise system will be significantly different.
This section helps you plan the following GroupWise components in a Heartbeat cluster:
Š
A new GroupWise system consisting of the primary domain and the initial post office
Š
A new secondary domain
Š
A new post office
Š
GroupWise Message Transfer Agent (MTA) and Post Office Agent (POA)
The “Heartbeat Clustering Worksheet” on page 293 and the “System Clustering Worksheet” on
page 140 list the information you need as you set up GroupWise in a Heartbeat cluster. You should
print the worksheets and fill them out as you complete the tasks listed below:
Š
Section 30.1, “Planning Your Heartbeat Cluster for GroupWise,” on page 285
Š
Section 30.2, “Planning a Software Distribution Directory for a Cluster,” on page 288
Š
Section 30.3, “Planning a New Clustered Domain,” on page 288
Š
Section 30.4, “Planning a New Clustered Post Office,” on page 289
Š
Section 30.5, “Planning a New Library for a Clustered Post Office,” on page 290
Š
Section 30.6, “Considering How to Install and Configure the Linux Agents in a Cluster,” on
page 290
Š
Section 30.7, “GroupWise Clustering Worksheets,” on page 293
After you have completed the tasks and filled out the “Heartbeat Clustering Worksheet” on page 293
and the “System Clustering Worksheet” on page 140 , you are ready to continue with Chapter 31,
“Setting Up a Heartbeat Cluster,” on page 297 .
