System Setup and Configuration for Novell NetWare 2-5 Configuring the Cluster for NetWare 4.2 Novell High Availability Server (NHAS) is the software needed to run the clustering aspect of the ProLiant CL1850 when running NetWare 4.2. This software must be installed after each server node has NetWare 4.2 loaded and at least one volume from the shared storage array has been mounted to each server node. NHAS will allow you to accomplish the following: s Configure the cluster s Pause the cluster s Manual failover s Manual failback s Automatic failover s Automatic failback For instructions on NHAS installation and detailed use of these functions, please refer to the Novell High Availability Server User's Guide from Novell. Preparations for Installing NHAS The following is a list of preparations needed prior to installation of NHAS. s Check network connections to and from each server using Display Servers command at NetWare console. s Use the Config command to check all IP addresses and to make sure there is a network connection bounded to the IPX protocol for the Direct Link. Label this network port as such for simplicity in recognition during the NHAS installation. A second network connection should exist for public NetWare Link. s Be sure to allocate and mount at least one shared volume for each server by using the Volume Options in the Install utility. Multiple volumes will imply the same rule. Try to gauge which applications will be installed so the volumes' File Compression and Block Suballocation settings are appropriate. Otherwise, you will need to reinstall NHAS later. s 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 would be confusing and potentially damaging.
