Novell Cluster Services™ v1.01 for NetWare® 5.1

Server Requirements

Novell Cluster Services v1.01 for NetWare 5.1 requires that NetWare 5.1 run on each cluster server: you cannot mix two versions of NetWare 5.x in a cluster. In addition, the following network server requirements must be met:

All clusters must have at least two NetWare 5.1 servers and no more than 32.
All servers in the cluster must be configured with IP and be on the same IP subnet.
Each server must have 64MB of RAM; 128MB or more is recommended.
All servers in the cluster must be in the same eDirectory tree.
Each server must have one local disk device (not shared) to be used as volume SYS.
The eDirectory tree must be replicated on at least two servers in the cluster. A maximum of six eDirectory replicas are recommended. More than six eDirectory replicas will reduce the performance of eDirectory.

Workstation Requirements

Novell Client version 4.50.819 for Windows NT or version 3.0.0.0 for Windows 95/98 must be installed on the workstations that will manage the cluster. ConsoleOne must also be installed on these client workstations. Additionally, it is recommended that the client workstation used to manage the cluster be 300MHz or above and have 90MB of memory.
