Novell Business Continuity Clustering 1.1 Administration Guide for Linux
Enabling Clusters for Business Continuity
If you want to enable a cluster to fail over selected resources or all cluster resources to another
cluster, you must enable business continuity on that cluster.
1
Start your Internet browser and enter the URL for iManager.
The URL is http://
server_ip_address
/nps/iManager.html. Replace
server_ip_address
with the
IP address or DNS name of the server that has iManager and the Identity Manager
preconfigured templates for iManager installed. This server should be in the same eDirectory
tree as the cluster you are enabling for business continuity.
2
Specify your username and password, specify the tree where you want to log in, then click
Login
.
3
Ensure that the BCC-specific Identity Manager drivers are running.
3a
In the left column, click
DirXML
, then click the
DIRXML Overview
link.
3b
Search the eDirectory Container or tree for the BCC-specific Identity Manager drivers.
3c
For each driver, click the upper right corner of the driver icon to see if a driver is started or
stopped.
3d
If the driver is stopped, start it by selecting
Start
.
4
In the left column, click
Clusters,
then click the
Cluster Options
link.
5
Specify a cluster name, or browse and select one.
6
Click the
Properties
button, then click the
Business Continuity
tab.
7
Ensure that the
Enable Business Continuity Features
check box is selected.
8
Repeat
Step 1
through
Step 7
for the other cluster that this cluster will migrate resources to.
9
Continue with
Step 1
in the
Adding Cluster Peer Credentials
section.
Adding Cluster Peer Credentials
In order for one cluster to connect to a second cluster, the first cluster must be able to authenticate to
the second cluster. To make this possible, you must add the username and password of the user that
the selected cluster will use to connect to the selected peer cluster.
IMPORTANT:
In order to add or change cluster peer credentials, you must access iManager on a
server that is in the same eDirectory tree as the cluster you are adding or changing peer credentials
for.
1
In the
Connections
section of the Business Continuity Cluster Properties page, select the peer
cluster, then click
Edit
.
In order for a cluster to appear in the list of possible peer clusters, that cluster must have the
following:
Business Continuity Clustering software installed.
Identity Manager installed.
The BCC-specific Identity Manager drivers configured and running.
Be enabled for business continuity.
2
Add the administrator username and password that the selected cluster will use to connect to
the selected peer cluster.
