If you choose to not start Novell Cluster Services software on each server
that you upgrade or add to your cluster, you will need to manually start it
after the installation or you will need to reboot cluster servers to
automatically start it.
You can manually start Novell Cluster Services by running LDNCS at the
server console on each cluster server.
If you are installing or upgrading a two-node cluster or not adding
additional nodes to a two-node cluster, continue with Step 9 on page 21.
(Conditional) Specify the location of the Cluster Server License files or
browse and select a path, then click Add.
Since licenses for a two-node cluster are included with NetWare 6, this
screen only appears if you are installing or upgrading a three-node or
larger cluster.
If you are installing a three-node or larger cluster, you can obtain
additional Cluster Server Licenses from Novell or from your Novell
Authorized Reseller.
You are given the option of installing without licenses. If you choose to
install without licenses and you have a cluster with more than two nodes,
you will need to manually install the licenses at a later date using
iManage. Novell Cluster Services will not function without the proper
licenses in place.
Continue through the final installation screen.
If you are creating a new cluster, the installation program will create
a new Cluster object in eDirectory and install Novell Cluster
Services software on the servers you specified to be part of your
cluster.
If you are adding new nodes to an existing cluster, the installation
program will install Novell Cluster Services software on the servers
you are adding to your cluster.
If you are upgrading Novell Cluster Services software on an existing
cluster, the installation program will upgrade cluster software on all
servers in the cluster.
