27 and Step 6 on page 27 for more information.

This is only required for the first volume to be cluster enabled in the pool.

This IP address will be assigned to the pool where the volume resides.

Checking the Auto-Online check box will cause the resource to

automatically start once it is created.

Click the Save button to create the volume resource and then continue

with “Set Start, Failover, and Failback Modes” on page 33.

When the volume resource is brought online, the pool will automatically be

activated. You don’t need to activate the pool at the server console.

Create Cluster Resource Templates

Templates simplify the process of creating similar or identical cluster

resources. For example, templates are helpful when you want to create

multiple instances of the same resource on different servers. You can create

templates for any server application or resource you want to add to your

cluster.

Novell Cluster Services currently provides templates for DHCP, GroupWise

and NetWare Enterprise Web Server, as well as a generic IP SERVICE

template. The generic IP SERVICE template can be used when configuring

certain server applications to run on your cluster. You can edit and customize

any of the templates for your specific needs.

Using ConsoleOne

Browse and select the Cluster object where you want to create a cluster

resource template.

From the menu bar, click File > New > Cluster > Cluster Resource.

Enter a name for the new cluster resource template.

Check the Create Resource Template check box.

This option lets you create a cluster resource template instead of a cluster

resource.

Check the Define Additional Properties check box, and then continue

with “Configure Load Scripts” on page 30.
