It is necessary to run the Novell Business Continuity Clustering installation program when you want to:
Install the Business Continuity Clustering engine software on cluster nodes for the clusters that will be part of a business continuity cluster.
The Business Continuity Clustering installation installs to only one cluster at a time. You must run the installation program again for each NetWare cluster that you want to be part of a business continuity cluster.
Install the BCC-specific Identity Manager templates for iManager snap-ins on either a NetWare 6.5 SP5 or SP6 server or a Windows server.
The templates add functionality to iManager so you can manage your business continuity cluster. You must have previously installed iManager on the server where you plan to install the templates.
IMPORTANT:Before you begin, make sure your setup meets the requirements specified in Section 4.1, Requirements for BCC 1.1 SP2 for NetWare. The BCC Administrator user and group must already be configured as specified in Section 4.3, Configuring a BCC Administrator User.
You must install the Business Continuity Clustering engine software on each cluster node for the clusters that will be part of a business continuity cluster. You install the software on the nodes of one cluster at a time.
To install and configure Business Continuity Clustering, complete the following steps:
From the directory on your Windows workstation where you copied the Business Continuity Clustering software, run install.exe.
For download information, see Section 4.2, Downloading the Business Continuity Clustering Software.
Continue through the installation wizard until you get to the page that prompts you to select the components to install.
Select one of the installation options, select the component, then click .
The templates add functionality to iManager so you can manage your business continuity cluster. You must have previously installed iManager on the server where you plan to install the templates.
Identity Manager Templates for NetWare iManager Servers: Installs the templates on a NetWare iManager server. You will be asked to specify the NetWare server where the templates will be installed later in the installation.
Identity Manager Templates for Windows iManager Servers: Installs the templates on the local Windows iManager server. You will be asked to specify the path to Tomcat (a default path is provided) on the Windows server later in the installation.
Novell Business Continuity Clustering: Installs the core Business Continuity Clustering engine files. This core software must be installed on all nodes in each Novell Cluster Services cluster that will be part of a business continuity cluster.
Do one of the following:
NetWare iManager Server: If you chose to install the Identity Manager iManager templates on a NetWare server, specify the name of the eDirectory tree and the fully distinguished name for the server where you want to install the templates. Then click .
If you don’t know the fully distinguished name for the server, you can browse and select it.
Windows iManager Server: If you chose to install the Identity Manager iManager templates on a Windows server, specify the path to Tomcat (a default path is provided) on the server. Then click .
Continue through the Upgrade Reminder page, then specify the name of the eDirectory tree and the fully distinguished name for the cluster where you want to install the core software files.
If you don’t know the fully distinguished name for the cluster, you can browse and select it.
Select the servers in the cluster where you want to install the core software files for the Business Continuity Clustering product.
All servers currently in the cluster you specified are listed and are selected by default.
You can choose to automatically start Business Continuity Clustering software on each selected node after the installation is complete. If Business Continuity Clustering software is not started automatically after the installation, you can start it manually later by rebooting the cluster server or by entering LDBCC at the server console.
Enter the name and password of an eDirectory user (or browse and select one) with sufficient rights to manage your BCC. This name should be entered in eDirectory dot format. For example, admin.servers.novell.
This user should have at least Read and Write rights to the All Attribute Rights property on the Cluster object of the remote cluster. For information, see Section 4.3, Configuring a BCC Administrator User.
Continue through the final installation page, then restart the cluster nodes where Identity Manager is running and where you have upgraded libc.nlm.
Restarting the cluster nodes can be performed in a rolling fashion in which one server is restarted while the other servers in the cluster continue running. Then another server is restarted, and then another, until all servers in the cluster have been restarted.
This lets you keep your cluster up and running and lets your users continue to access the network while cluster nodes are being restarted.
Repeat the above steps for each Novell Cluster Services cluster that will be part of the business continuity cluster.
After the install, you can use the Business Continuity Clustering install program to install the Identity Manager templates on additional iManager servers in the same tree as the business continuity cluster.
From the directory on your Windows workstation where you copied the Business Continuity Clustering software, run install.exe.
For download information, see Section 4.2, Downloading the Business Continuity Clustering Software.
Continue through the installation wizard until you get to the page that prompts you to select the components to install.
Select one of the installation options, deselect the component, then click .
The templates add functionality to iManager so you can manage your business continuity cluster. You must have previously installed iManager on the server where you plan to install the templates.
Identity Manager Templates for NetWare iManager Servers: Installs the templates on a NetWare iManager server. You will be asked to specify the NetWare server where the templates will be installed later in the installation.
Identity Manager Templates for Windows iManager Servers: Installs the templates on the local Windows iManager server. You will be asked to specify the path to Tomcat (a default path is provided) on the Windows server later in the installation.
Do one of the following:
NetWare iManager Server: If you chose to install the Identity Manager iManager templates on a NetWare server, specify the name of the eDirectory tree and the fully distinguished name for the server where you want to install the templates. Then click .
If you don’t know the fully distinguished name for the server, you can browse and select it.
Windows iManager Server: If you chose to install the Identity Manager iManager templates on a Windows server, specify the path to Tomcat (a default path is provided) on the server. Then click .
Continue through the final installation page.
