where they were stored on Linux cluster nodes into eDirectory. This enables a Linux cluster that has
been converted from NetWare to utilize eDirectory like the former NetWare cluster.
To finalize the cluster conversion:
1 Run
cluster convert preview resource_name
at the server console of one Linux
cluster node.
Replace resource_name with the name of a resource that you want preview.
The preview switch lets you view the resource load and unload script changes that will be made
when the conversion is finalized. You can preview all cluster resources.
2 Run
cluster convert commit
at the server console of one Linux cluster node to finalize
the conversion.
Generating Linux Cluster Resource Templates
After converting all nodes in a former NetWare cluster to Linux, you might want to generate the
cluster resource templates that are included with Novell Cluster Services for Linux. These templates
are automatically created when you create a new Linux cluster, but are not created when you convert
an existing NetWare cluster to Linux.
To generate or regenerate the cluster resource templates that are included with Novell Cluster
Services for Linux, enter the following command on a Linux cluster server:
/opt/novell/ncs/bin/ncs-configd.py -install_templates
In addition to generating Linux cluster resource templates, this command deletes all NetWare cluster
resource templates. Because of this, use this command only after all nodes in the former NetWare
cluster are converted to Linux.
3.7 Setting Up Novell Cluster Services
If you created a new cluster, you now need to create and configure cluster resources. You might also
need to create shared disk partitions and NSS pools if they do not already exist and, if necessary,
configure the shared disk NSS pools to work with Novell Cluster Services. Configuring shared disk
NSS pools to work with Novell Cluster Services can include cluster enabling the pools.
You must use iManager or NSSMU to cluster enable shared NSS disk pools. iManager must be used
to create cluster resources.
3.7.1 Creating NSS Shared Disk Partitions and Pools
Before creating disk partitions and pools on shared storage (storage area network or SAN), Novell
Cluster Services must be installed. You should carefully plan how you want to configure your shared
storage prior to installing Novell Cluster Services. For information on configuring access to a
NetWare server functioning as an iSCSI target, see
Accessing iSCSI Targets on NetWare Servers
from Linux Initiators (http://www.novell.com/documentation/iscsi1_nak/iscsi/data/
bswmaoa.html#bt8cyhf)
.
To create NSS pools on shared storage, use either the server-based NSS Management Utility
(NSSMU) or iManager. These tools can also be used to create NSS volumes on shared storage.
