Scenarios

Scenario 1. The VMP Company, with 520 employees, is running NetWare 5. Sandy plans to install NetWare Cluster Services on three NetWare 5 servers (TN3, TN4, and TN5) and enable all employees to connect to them.

Sandy purchases

• One two-node NetWare Cluster Server Plus 10 Connections kit

  This kit will place servers TN4 and TN5 in the cluster. It will also provide 10 connections (CUAL) to all servers in the cluster.

• One one-node NetWare Cluster kit

  This kit will add server TN5 to the cluster. The kit does not include an additional CUAL certificate.

• One NetWare Cluster Services 500 Connections kit
• One NetWare Cluster Services 10 Connections kit

At a Novell^® Client workstation, Sandy launches the Java*-based installation program and installs the two-node NetWare Cluster Services kit. The installation program

• Deletes the server base license and installs the server base license upgrade (SBLU) certificate for servers TN3 and TN4.
• Installs the cluster server license (CSL) certificates for TN3 and TN4.
• Deletes two server connection license (SCL) certificates and installs the 10-user cluster user access license (CUAL) certificate.

Sandy then installs the one-node NetWare Cluster Server kit. The installation program

• Deletes the server base license and installs an SBLU certificate for server TN5.
• Installs a CSL certificate for TN5.

At this time, the cluster is complete, but only 10 users can connect to the servers. To enable other connections, Sandy installs the 500 Connections and 10 Connections certificates. Now all 520 employees can connect to any or all servers in the cluster.

Scenario 2. The VMP Company, with 520 employees, plans to install NetWare 5.1 on three new NetWare servers (TN34, TN35, and TN36) and provide license units for all employees to connect to these servers. The three servers will be in a NetWare Cluster.

Sandy purchases

• Three Server Plus 5 Connections kits

  You use these kits to install NetWare 5.1. NetWare Cluster Services assumes that NetWare 5 or NetWare 5.1 is already installed on the servers that will be in the NetWare Cluster.

• The kits described in Scenario 1.

Sandy installs the Server Plus 5 kits on TN 34, TN34, and TN36. At this time, the servers are using the SCL model, and 15 connections are available. To provide NetWare Cluster Services and enable all employees to connect to the servers, Sandy completes the steps described in Scenario 1.
