3.5.3 Configuring the GroupWise Volume Resource to Load
and Unload the Agents
The properties of the Volume Resource object define how the GroupWise volume functions within
the cluster, how NLM
TM
programs are loaded and unloaded, and how failover and failback situations
are handled. At this point, you might have one volume resource with a domain and post office on it,
or you might have two volume resources, one for the domain and one for the post office. Complete
the following tasks for each volume resource:
Š “Modifying the Volume Resource Load Script for the Agents” on page 53
Š
“Modifying the Volume Resource Unload Script for the Agents” on page 54
Š “Setting the Failover Path and Policies for the Agents” on page 56
Modifying the Volume Resource Load Script for the Agents
The volume resource load script executes whenever the GroupWise volume comes online.
To set up the load script:
1
In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Cluster object.
If necessary, click
View > Console View to display its contents.
2 Right-click the Volume Resource object ( volume _SERVER), then click Properties > Load to
display the default volume resource load script for the GroupWise volume.
3 Make the following changes to the default load script:
Š
Remove the
trustmig
command. It is not necessary to migrate trustees for a GroupWise
volume. Removing this line helps the load script to execute faster.
Š On NetWare 5.1, if you selected SLP as a short name resolution method, add the
cvsbind add
command for the GroupWise volume to the load script.
cvsbind add cluster _ volume _SERVER IP_address
Š
If you selected
vol :\system
on GroupWise volume as the agent installation location
( Agent Clustering Worksheet item 1 ), add a
search add
command to add the new
vol :\system
directory to the server search path.
search add volume :\system
Š
If you selected
sys:\system
on each node as the installation location ( Agent
Clustering Worksheet item 1 ) but you are storing the agent startup files on the GroupWise
volume, add that location to the server search path.
Š
If you marked No under Load Agents in Protected Memory? ( Agent Clustering Worksheet
item 8 ), add the following abend recovery options:
set auto restart after abend = 2
set auto restart after abend delay time = 0
set auto restart down timeout = 60
set developer option = off
These settings provide the best possible handling of GroupWise databases in the event that
an abend should occur within the cluster when the agents are not running in protected
memory.
