Consolidating to or from a NetWare 5.1 Cluster

When a volume is cluster-enabled, an object is created in eDirectory with the name of the cluster followed by an underscore followed by the volume name. For example, Cluster1_vol1. For the Server Consolidation Utility to function properly with a NetWare 5.1 cluster enabled volume, the server name followed by an underscore followed by the volume name object must be used in the project window instead. For example, Server1_vol1.

This substitution can be accomplished by completing the following steps.

  1. Start ConsoleOne, and browse to the context where the NCP Server object resides.

  2. Right click on the right pane, select NEW/Volume, and enter the name of the new object in the first field.

    This should be the server name followed by an underscore followed by the volume name.

  3. In the second field, browse and select the appropriate server. In the third field click the drop down menu and select the volume, then click OK.

  4. In the Server Consolidation Utility project window refresh the container where the volume object is located to make the new object appear.

  5. When dragging and dropping in the project window, use the newly created volume object.

  6. After the consolidation is complete, delete the newly created volume object.

If you use the Clustername_Volumename object instead of creating and using the new volume object described above, a critical SMDR error will occur and you won't be able to complete the consolidation process.
