If Cluster Services was previously installed and shared disk partitions
were already created, the Partitions List field will include this
information.
On the Media tab, click Partitions >New, and then select the device where
you want to create the partition (the same device you selected in the
previous step).
Specify the size of the partition and click OK to create it.
Continue with “Create NSS Pools” on page 24.
On this screen you should also ensure NSS is selected as the partition type
(this is the default) and ensure the Hot Fix
TM
and Mirror check boxes are
checked and that Create New Mirror Group is selected.
In NetWare Remote Manager, the same process for creating a shared disk
partition is also used to create an NSS pool and volume. NetWare Remote
Manager currently does not allow you to create multiple volumes on a pool. If
you want to create multiple volumes on a pool, use ConsoleOne.
Using NetWare Remote Manager
In NetWare Remote Manager, in the left column under the Manage Server
section, select Volumes.
This is same screen that appears when you start NetWare Remote
Manager.
Under Partition Management, click Disk Partitions.
A screen appears that displays a list of devices that are currently
accessible to servers in the cluster. For each device, the list displays the
partitions, NSS pools, volumes, and free space on that device.
Find the device that corresponds to your shared storage system and click
Create on the free space where you want to create the partition.
Under Novell Storage Services, click Create a New Pool and Volume.
Specify the pool size and name, the volume name, and volume attributes.
Since only one pool exists in each partition, the pool size you specify will
be the size of the partition that gets created. The volume that is created
will be allowed to grow to the pool size.
The Prepare Volume for Use by Novell Clustering Services check box is
currently not functional and does not need to be checked.
Click CREATE to create the partition, NSS pool, and volume.
