System Setup and Configuration for Novell NetWare
3-7
Each server in the cluster must have an internal hard drive that is not
part of the shared subsystem. A SYS: volume on the shared subsystem is
potentially damaging.
NetWare volumes can span multiple drives. When a volume spans more
than one drive, all of the drives that it spans must either be shared or not
shared. Otherwise, if one drive fails, there will be no access to the
volume from either cluster server.
NHAS cluster servers will function within different containers in the
NDS tree, but they must reside in the same directory tree to ensure
smooth failover of NDS resource objects.
It is not necessary for servers in the cluster to contain NDS replicas as
long as multiple trusted replicas exist on the network. If one server in
the cluster contains a trusted NDS replica, then for NDS availability
reasons, both servers should contain a replica.
Installation of NHAS
NHAS is installed by mounting the NHAS CD on a server and using the
CD-MOUNT HA command. Next, enter the following at the console.
LOAD HA:HASERVER/HASINST
When prompted to select the other server node of the cluster pair, enter the
V
command at the NetWare System Console of the other server node. From
the first server node, you will then select the Direct Link. When the file copy
is complete, finish the installation by pressing
Enter
, Down, Exit and restart
both servers.
