6.1 NCS Installation and Configuration

Novell Cluster Services for Linux must be installed on the OES 11 SP3 server before you can configure Samba to work in a cluster. The Samba template provides scripts for a clustered Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume group, not for NSS pools. You can use lines from the Samba template’s scripts for the NSS pool cluster resource.

6.1.1 Preparing the Cluster

Install Novell Cluster Services and configure the cluster. For information, see Installing, Configuring, and Repairing Novell Cluster Services in the OES 11 SP3: Novell Cluster Services for Linux Administration Guide.

6.1.2 Installing Novell Samba

If you have not already done so, install and configure the Novell Samba pattern on each cluster server that will share the Samba resource.

Ensure that the Base Context for Samba Users is set to the container where you plan to create your Samba users, or to a container above that in the eDirectory tree.

For more information on installing and configuring Novell Samba, see Section 3.0, Installing Novell Samba for OES.
