  • Shared disk:
  • Possible owners:

Software Distribution Directory:

  • Shared disk:
  • Possible owners:

List any shared locations that you want to set up for ConsoleOne or the software distribution directory.

For more information, see Section 36.6, Planning Shared Administrative Resources.

4) Resource Group for Domain:

  • Physical disk:
  • File share:
  • MTA service:
  • Possible owners

Post Office in Same Resource Group as Domain?

  • Yes

  • No

5) Resource Group for Post Office:

  • Network name:
  • IP address:
  • Physical disk:
  • File share:
  • POA service:
  • Possible owners:

Specify the information for the post office resource group.

For more information, see Section 36.3, Planning a New Clustered Post Office.

6) IP Address Resolution Methods:

  • eDirectory

  • hosts file

  • DNS

Mark the short name address resolution methods you want to implement to ensure that the UNC paths stored in ConsoleOne with network names can be successfully resolved into physical network addresses.

For more information, see Section 36.7, Ensuring Successful Name Resolution for GroupWise Resource Groups

7) Domain Name:

  • Domain Directory:

Specify a unique name for the domain. Specify the directory where you want to create the new domain.

For more information, see Section 36.2, Planning a New Clustered Domain.

8) Post Office Name:

Specify a unique name for the post office. Specify the directory where you want to create the post office.

For more information, see Section 36.3, Planning a New Clustered Post Office.

9) Document Storage Area Location:

  • At the post office

  • Outside the post office

  • Separate post office

Document Storage Area Access

If you need a library for a clustered post office, mark where you want to create its document storage area and provide a directory if necessary.

For more information, see Section 36.4, Planning a New Library for a Clustered Post Office.

36.9.3 Agent Clustering Worksheet

Item

Explanation

1) Agent installation location:

  • Shared disk with domain or post office

  • Each node in the cluster Consolidate startup files?

Mark the location where you will install the agent software.

If necessary, specify the location where you will store agent startup files on the same shared disk with the domain or post office.

For more information, see Deciding Where to Install the Agent Software.

2) Domain Name:

  • Domain Directory:

Transfer this information from the System Clustering Worksheet (item 6).

3) MTA Service Resource:

Service name: Possible owners: Resource dependencies:

List other nodes in the cluster where the domain resource group could fail over and any resources that must be online before the MTA can start.

For more information, see Planning the Agent Services.

4) MTA Network Information:

MTA IP address: MTA message transfer port: MTA HTTP port:

Gather the MTA network address information from the Network Address Worksheet.

For more information, see Planning Cluster-Unique Port Numbers for Agents in the Cluster.

5) Post Office Name:
