Novell Cluster Services includes several important features to help you ensure and manage the availability of your network resources:
Support for shared SCSI, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel storage subsystems. Shared disk fault tolerance can be obtained by implementing RAID on the shared disk subsystem.
Multi-node all-active cluster (up to 32 nodes). Any server in the cluster can restart resources (applications, services, IP addresses, and file systems) from a failed server in the cluster.
A single point of administration through the browser-based Novell iManager cluster configuration and monitoring GUI. iManager also lets you remotely manage your cluster.
The ability to tailor a cluster to the specific applications and hardware infrastructure that fit your organization.
Dynamic assignment and reassignment of server storage as needed.
The ability to use e-mail to automatically notify administrators of cluster events and cluster state changes.
