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.
