In a Web browser, open iManager, then log in to the Novell eDirectory tree that contains the
cluster you want to manage.
IMPORTANT:
Log in as an administrator user who has sufficient rights in eDirectory to
delete and modify eDirectory objects.
3
In iManager, select
eDirectory Administration
, then browse to select and connect to the
eDirectory server in the same tree that contains the master replica.
4
In iManager, delete the node’s Cluster Node object from the cluster container:
4a
Select
eDirectory Administration > Delete Objects
.
4b
Browse to the Cluster container ( ) of the cluster, locate and select the Cluster Node
object ( ) for the node in the container, then click
OK
.
4c
On the Delete Objects page, click
OK
, then click
OK
again to confirm the deletion of the
Cluster Node object.
5
Select
eDirectory Administration > Modify Object
, select the eDirectory Server object that is
being removed from the cluster, remove its NCS attributes, then click
OK
to save and apply
your changes.
6
If the deleted cluster node persists in iManager, do one of the following:
Run the following command as the
root
user on the master cluster node. It is safe to run
the command on an active cluster:
/opt/novell/ncs/bin/ncs-configd.py -init
If you are converting a cluster from NetWare to Linux, you must restart the cluster instead
so that clstrlib.ko is reloaded:
rcnovell-ncs restart
7
(Optional) Continue with configuring the server for a different cluster by following the
procedure outlined in
Section 3.5.2, “Installing Novell Cluster Services on an Existing OES 2
Linux Server,” on page 44
.
8.16 Creating or Deleting Cluster SBD Partitions
If the cluster has a shared disk system, the cluster must have a cluster partition for the Split Brain
Detector (SBD) before you attempt to install Novell Cluster Services on the second node of the
cluster. For information about how the split brain detector works, see
NetWare Cluster Services: The
Gory Details of Heartbeats, Split Brains, and Poison Pills
(TID 10053882) (http://
support.novell.com/docs/Tids/Solutions/10053882.html)
.
IMPORTANT:
For instructions about setting up the SBD partition during the Novell Cluster
Services configuration, see
