■
NetWare volumes can span multiple drives. When a volume spans more
than one drive, all of the drives that it spans must be shared or all of
them must be not shared. Otherwise if one drive fails, there will be no
access to the volume from either cluster server.
■ NHAS cluster server will function within different containers in the
NDS tree, but they must reside in the same directory tree to ensure
smoother 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.
NOTE: You must install the latest NetWare Support Pack and then the NSSD before
installing NHAS.
Installation of NHAS
NHAS is installed by mounting the NHAS CD on a server and using the
CD-Mount HA command, then entering the following on 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 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.
