Clustering Quick Checklists

GroupWise System Quick Checklist

Plan your new clustered GroupWise system.
See Planning GroupWise in a Novell Cluster.
Cluster-enable the volumes where GroupWise domains and post offices will reside.
See Cluster-Enabling Shared Volumes for Use with GroupWise.
Make sure that short name resolution works throughout your network.
See Configuring Short Name Resolution.
Create the primary domain and initial post office in your new clustered GroupWise system.
See Setting Up a New GroupWise System in a Cluster.
Set up the agents for the primary domain and the initial post office.
See Installing and Configuring the MTA and the POA in a Cluster.
Modify the volume resource load script(s):
- Remove the trustmig command
- Add the cvsbind add command (NetWare 5.1 only; optional)
- Add the search add command (optional)
- If you will not run the agents in protected memory, add the set auto restart commands and the set developer option = off command
- Add the agent load command(s)
- If you will run the agents in protected memory, add the address space parameter to the load command(s) and add a corresponding protection restart command for each address space
See Modifying the Volume Resource Load Script for the Agents.
Modify the volume resource unload script(s):
- Add the agent or address space unload command(s)
- Add the cvsbind del command if you used the cvsbind add command in the load script (NetWare 5.1 only; optional)
- Remove the trustmig command
See Modifying the Volume Resource Unload Script for the Agents.
Set up the volume failover path(s) and policies.
See Setting the Failover Path and Policies for the Agents.
Test your new clustered GroupWise system.
See Testing Your Clustered GroupWise System.
Record cluster-specific information in the properties pages of the GroupWise objects that the information pertains to.
See Managing Your Clustered GroupWise System.

Domain Quick Checklist

Plan your new clustered domain.
See Planning a New Clustered Domain.
Cluster-enable the volume where the domain will reside.
See Cluster-Enabling Shared Volumes for Use with GroupWise.
Make sure that short name resolution for the new domain volume works throughout your network.
See Configuring Short Name Resolution.
Create the new domain.
See Creating a New Secondary Domain in a Cluster.
Set up the MTA for the new domain.
See Installing and Configuring the MTA and the POA in a Cluster.
Modify the domain volume resource load script:
- Remove the trustmig command
- Add the cvsbind add command (NetWare 5.1 only; optional)
- Add the search add command (optional)
- If you will not run the MTA in protected memory, add the set auto restart commands and the set developer option = off command
- Add the MTA load command
- If you will run the MTA in protected memory, add the address space parameter to the mta load command and add a corresponding protection restart command for the address space
See Modifying the Volume Resource Load Script for the Agents.
Modify the domain volume resource unload script:
- Add the MTA or address space unload command
- Add the cvsbind del command if you used the cvsbind add command in the load script (NetWare 5.1 only; optional)
- Remove the trustmig command
See Modifying the Volume Resource Unload Script for the Agents.
Set up the domain volume failover path and policies.
See Setting the Failover Path and Policies for the Agents.
Test your new clustered domain.
See Testing Your Clustered GroupWise System.
Record cluster-specific information in the properties pages of the GroupWise objects that the information pertains to.
See Managing Your Clustered GroupWise System.

Post Office Quick Checklist

Plan your new clustered post office.
See Planning a New Clustered Post Office.
Cluster-enable the volume where the post office will reside.
See Cluster-Enabling Shared Volumes for Use with GroupWise.
Make sure that short name resolution for the new post office volume works throughout your network.
See Configuring Short Name Resolution.
Create the new post office.
See Creating a New Post Office in a Cluster.
Set up the POA for the new post office.
See Installing and Configuring the MTA and the POA in a Cluster.
Add the /ip startup switch to the POA startup file in order to provide the secondary IP address of the post office volume. If you are running the POA in protected memory, add the /user and /password startup switches so the POA can access the volume.
See Editing Clustered Agent Startup Files.
Modify the post office volume resource load script:
- Remove the trustmig command
- Add the cvsbind add command (NetWare 5.1 only; optional)
- Add the search add command (optional)
- If you will not run the POA in protected memory, add the set auto restart commands and the set developer option = off command
- Add the POA load command
- If you will run the POA in protected memory, add the address space parameter to the poa load command and add a corresponding protection restart command for the address space
See Modifying the Volume Resource Load Script for the Agents.
Modify the post office volume resource unload script:
- Add the POA or address space unload command
- Add the cvsbind del command if you used the cvsbind add command in the load script (NetWare 5.1 only; optional)
- Remove the trustmig command
See Modifying the Volume Resource Unload Script for the Agents.
