The System Clustering Worksheet provides the volume to cluster-enable for use the
GroupWise, the cluster-enabled volume IP address, and the failover path for the GroupWise
volume.
For a review of the new Novell eDirectory
TM
objects that are created when you cluster-enable a
shared volume, see Section 2.6, “Deciding Whether to Cluster-Enable the Shared Volumes
Used by GroupWise,” on page 27 .
If you have installed the latest version of ConsoleOne
®
and the Novell Cluster Services snap-
in, you can rename the cluster-related objects in case your DNS name server cannot resolve
object names that include the underscore (_) character.
3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 above for the other shared volumes on your System Clustering
Worksheet that need to be cluster-enabled.

Continue with Configuring Short Name Resolution .
3.1.3 Configuring Short Name Resolution
To ensure that GroupWise volumes are always locatable, configure the short name resolution
methods that you want to rely on for GroupWise (
System Clustering Worksheet item 9 ):
Š
“eDirectory” on page 44
Š
“Hosts Files” on page 45
Š
“DNS” on page 45
Š
“SLP” on page 46
After configuring your selected short name resolution methods, continue with the task you need to
perform:
Š
“eDirectory” on page 44
Š “Hosts Files” on page 45
Š
“DNS” on page 45
Š “SLP” on page 46
eDirectory
Most commonly, you will use eDirectory to resolve the UNC path of a volume into its network
address. For example, on the workstation where you run ConsoleOne, you need to map a drive to the
location of a domain directory so that ConsoleOne can access the domain database. You could use a
map
command as shown in the example below:
Syntax:
map drive : = . cluster _ volume . context
Example:
map m: = .GWCLUSTER_GWVOL1.GWServers
When specifying the map commands, use System Clustering Worksheet item 3 for cluster . Use
System Clustering Worksheet item 7 or 8 for each volume where a domain or post office resides. Use
System Clustering Worksheet item 4 for context .
