— If upgrading software, specify the cluster name, directory tree, and context
where the software will be upgraded. Click Next and go to step 7.
5. Enter the name of the server to add to the cluster, or browse and select one from
the list, and then click Add to Cluster.
When you add a server to a cluster, NCS automatically detects the server IP
address. If the server you are adding has more than one IP address, select the IP
address you want NCS to use.
You can also remove servers you just added to the cluster by selecting them from
the NetWare Servers in Cluster list and clicking Remove.
Repeat this step for every server you want to add to the cluster, and then click
Next when you have finished building your cluster.
6. Enter a unique IP address for the cluster.
The cluster IP address is separate from the server IP address and is required so
that external programs such as ManageWise can obtain cluster status alerts.
NetWare Remote Manager and ConsoleOne also require a cluster IP address.
The cluster IP address is bound to the master server and remains with the master
server regardless of which server is the master.
7. Choose whether you want the servers you are adding or upgrading to your cluster
to reboot after installation, and then click Next.
The installation program installs or upgrades NCS software on the servers in your
cluster. It does not automatically load the software on the servers in your cluster.
8. Unless the servers need to be kept running, reboot the servers when installation is
complete. This action ensures that NCS software properly loads on new or
upgraded servers in your cluster.
9. Continue through to the final installation screen.
— If a new cluster is being created, the installation program creates a new
cluster object in NDS and installs NCS software on the specified servers.
— If the servers are being added to the cluster, the program installs NCS
software on the servers.
