Repeat this step for the second server node to add to the cluster. When you add a server node to a cluster, NetWare Cluster Services automatically detects the server node's IP address. If the server node you are adding has more than one IP address, you will be prompted to select the IP address you want NetWare Cluster Services to use. 6. Specify that your cluster has a shared disk system, then select the drive where you want the small cluster partition created. NetWare Cluster Services 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: You must have a minimum of 10 megabytes of free space on one of the shared disk drives to create the cluster partition. If no free space is available, the shared disk drives will not be usable by NetWare Cluster Services. 7. Continue through the final installation screen. The NetWare Cluster Services installation program will then create a new cluster for you and add the server nodes you specified in the install to the cluster. After a new cluster has been created, you now need to create cluster resources and configure those resources. Verifying NCS Cluster Creation Create a simple volume object (note you will need to create an NSS volume from NetWare first). Be sure to add the server nodes to the resource so the resources can start. Bring up the resource and force a migration. You should be able to see the monitor utility load and unload on the local server console screens.
