Readding a Node to a Cluster That Was Prevously in the Cluster
If necessary, install NetWare, including the latest service pack on the
server using the same node name and IP address.
If the Cluster object for the server is still present, use ConsoleOne to
delete the object.
You can do this by going to the Cluster container, selecting the node in the
right frame, and pressing Delete.
Run the Novell Cluster Services installation.
The node will assume its former identity.
Cluster-enabled Volume Connection Required for Some Utilities
Because Novell Cluster Services uses NDS to find objects and resolve names,
you must first establish a client connection to a cluster-enabled volume for it
to be visible to certain utilities.
Do this by browsing to and selecting the eDirectory Volume object using
Windows Explorer.
Some Applications Do Not Fail Over
Although all NetWare 6 applications will run on a cluster node, not all
applications are capable of being configured as a cluster application and failed
over to a new node.
Novell Cluster Services Console Commands
Novell Cluster Services provides several server console commands to help
you perform certain cluster related tasks. The following table lists the cluster-
related server console commands and gives a brief description of each
command. To execute a cluster console command type CLUSTER followed by
the command. For example, if you want to display cluster statistics, type
CLUSTER STATS DISPLAY at the server console. You can also type HELP
CLUSTER at the console prompt to get information on the commands and
their functions.
