Create Cluster Volumes
If you plan on using a shared disk system in your cluster and need to create new
NetWare volumes, those volumes must be created with only one server up in
the cluster. The server used to create the volumes should already have NSS
installed and running.
After creating the volumes, bring up the other servers in the cluster. Depending
on your configuration, the new volumes will either mount automatically when
resources that require them start or will have to be mounted manually on
individual servers after they are up.
If you have a volume that is not being managed by NetWare Cluster Services
and is not shared storage, you need to manually activate that volume before you
can access it. Otherwise, the volume will be deactivated by the NSS/
AUTODEACTIVATE VOLUME=ALL command in the AUTOEXEC.NCF
file. To manually activate a non-shared volume, type NSS/ACTIVATE=VOL
at the server console prompt. Replace VOL with the volume name. You will
then need to manually mount the volume by typing MOUNT followed by the
volume name.
Cluster-Enable Volumes
If you have a shared disk system that is part of your cluster and want the
volumes on the shared disk system to be highly available to NetWare clients,
you will need to cluster-enable those volumes. Cluster-enabling a volume
allows it to be moved or mounted on different servers in the cluster during
failures or when migration is necessary.
Some server applications don’t require NetWare client access to volumes, so
cluster-enabling volumes might not be necessary.
1.
In ConsoleOne, browse and select the Cluster object.
2.
Click File > New > Cluster > Cluster Volume.
3.
Browse and select a volume on the shared disk system to cluster-
enable.
4.
Enter an IP address for the volume.
Each volume you cluster-enable requires its own IP address.
