System Setup and Configuration for Novell NetWare 5.1
NetWare Cluster Services Installation
The NWCS installation creates a new cluster object and installs NWCS software on
the servers specified as part of the cluster. This installation is performed from a
remote client workstation machine. To install NWCS:
1.
Insert the NWCS CD into the CD-ROM drive on the client workstation with
administrator rights to the directory tree on which the servers reside.
2.
Launch the NWCS installation from the initial splash screen. Continue through
the installation screens until the
Create a New Cluster
prompt is displayed.
3.
Select
Create a New Cluster,
and then click
Next.
4.
Enter a name for the new cluster object to be created and specify the directory
tree and context to be created. Click
Next.
5.
Enter the name of each server, or browse and select each server, then click
Add to Cluster.
When you add the servers, NWCS automatically detects the IP
address for each server. If the servers have more than one IP address, you will be
prompted to select the IP address that NWCS should use.
IMPORTANT:
If you receive the error
The server you have chosen doesn't
have an IP address,
refer to the Novell website for the Technical Information
Document #10051301. This document will explain how to fix the error.
6.
Specify that the cluster has a shared storage system, and then select the drive
where the small cluster partition should be created. NWCS requires a small
cluster partition on the shared disk system. You are also given the option of
mirroring the partition for greater fault tolerance.
IMPORTANT:
There must be at least 10 MB of free space on one of the shared storage
system disk drives to create the cluster partition. If no free space is available, NWCS
cannot use the shared storage system disk drives.
After the final installation screen, NWCS creates a new cluster and adds the
servers to the cluster after the servers have been rebooted.
7.
Install Novell NetWare Cluster Support Pack 4 or later according to the Novell
documentation.
