Using NetWare Remote Manager

On the left column under the Clustering section, click Cluster Config.

At the bottom of the screen under Create New Objects, click New Cluster

Resource.

Enter a name for the new cluster resource.

If a template exists for the resource you are creating, select it from the list

and then click Apply. If a template does not exist, check the Define

Additional Properties check box and then click Apply.

The default selection for this field is No Template.

(Conditional) If you are not using a template for the resource, continue

with “Configure Load Scripts” on page 30.

If you are not using a template, you must complete the process for creating the

cluster resource by configuring load and unload scripts, setting failover and

failback modes and, if necessary, changing the node assignments for the

resource.

If you are using a template for this resource, additional resource configuration

is performed automatically by the template.

More information on configuring GroupWise, NDPS

, NetWare Enterprise

Web Server and many other applications is available at Novell’s

documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/ncs6p/

index.html).

Configure Load Scripts

A load script is required for each resource, service, or disk pool in your cluster.

The load script specifies the commands to start the resource or service on a

server, or to mount the volume on a server.

You can use any commands in the load script that would be used in a .NCF file

run from the server console. If you don’t know which commands to add to

your load script, consult the documentation for the application or resource.

Load scripts are automatically created for disk pools when you cluster enable

them. Because of this, it might not be necessary to configure or change the

load script for a pool.
