2.1 What’s New in the May 2013 Patch Release

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 SLPin the OES 2 SP3: Novell Cluster Services 1.8.8 Administration Guide for Linux.
