2.1 What’s New (May 2013 Patches)

In addition to bug fixes, Novell Cluster Services provides the following enhancement and behavior changes in the June 2013 Scheduled Maintenance for OES 2 SP3:

SLP Refresh Interval for Cluster Resource Virtual NCP Servers

NCP Server was modified to refresh its OpenSLP registration of cluster resource virtual NCP servers based on the setting for the eDirectory advertise-life-time (n4u.nds.advertise-life-time) parameter. The n4u.nds.advertise-life-time parameter is set by default to 3600 seconds (1 hour) and has a valid range of 1 to 65535 seconds. Previously, NCP Server re-registered the virtual NCP servers with SLP every 30 minutes regardless of the eDirectory advertise-life-time setting. For information about setting the eDirectory advertise-life-time parameter in a cluster, see Section 4.5.3, SLP.

Updated the DHCP PID File Location in the DHCP_Template

In the DHCP_Template for DHCP cluster resources, the PID file location was changed to /var/lib/dhcp/var/run/dhcpd.pid. The change applies automatically to any newly created DHCP cluster resources. For information about configuring DHCP cluster resources, see Configuring DHCP with Novell Cluster Services for the Linux File System in the OES 2 SP3: Novell DNS/DHCP Administration Guide.
