They have a shared pool (cluster_data) and are properly managed and a part of the node. When I try to create a volume through nssmu on the pool cluster_data I get this:
Code:
-613 Error adding volume to NDS
The volume will then show up. But when I tell the server to update NDS I get the same problem. I have also tried this through iManager and get the same results. Any suggestions.

All servers are fully patched running:
Sles10 sp2
OES sp1

Everything runs fine - but there are two volumes that will be activated on different mount points if they failover to another node.
On node 1 + 2 the volume will be mounted in

/media/nss/EDEN_ABR_DATA while node 3 + 4 will do it in
/media/nss/ABR_DATA

iManager shows "/media/nss/ABR_DATA" as mount point.
I tried almost everything - including deleting the cluster volume, pool and virtual server object and re-installing it into my Cluster - nothing changed. The servers still remember the wrong mountpoint.
Where does OES store this information?

Greetings all,

I browsed many websites before posting here, maybe someone could lend us some advice on this :
We have a two node cluster SLES 10 SP2, OES2 SP1, patched all up, running on a three ESX servers 3.5 infrastructure (all servers identical physically, patched up too).

We have problems with NSS volumes, used by the cluster, configured under vmware as Virtual Disks (SCSI Controller in Physical bus sharing, meaning any ESX server can host the VMs and access to the disk images).
Randomely those 3 volumes deactivates, see below an example log :

We have one volume hosting GroupWise (1 MTA, 1 PO), another hosting GroupWise archives, the last hosting Files.
It seems that the problem appears when we are running heavily I/O access to those volumes (i.e : doing a backup, users copying files).

We have configured recently a supplemental volume but this time with raw device mapping ; it is a big 2 To volume hosting geographical data, so it is used very intensivly, and it does not deactivates ...

I think this is a Vmware problem, and that we should migrate all the virtual volumes to raw devices, but we have approx. 1To of data to move, with limited space available on the SAN ; So, any help / tip would be appreciated.

Actually we have setted up monitoring on the cluster resources, so they can come back online after those failures, but i fear data unstability. ]]> OES-L: Storage and Backup mdemoulin http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/open-enterprise-server/oes-linux/oes-l-storage-backup/392371-vmware-cluster-nss-volumes-deactivates.html nssmu http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/open-enterprise-server/oes-linux/oes-l-storage-backup/392160-nssmu.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:13:35 GMT Code: --------- somebox# nssmu NSS Management Utility - Screen size too small.

NSS Management Utility - Screen size too small.
NSS Management Utility - ERROR Initializing ncurses.
Although this probably has more to do with the ncurses hook from nssmu it just gets annoying when you have *a lot* of terminals open, and need to get into nssmu, fast.

Just wanted to bring it to attention.

I've got a SLES10SP2+OES2SP1(version b, I think) server hosting a ncp volume that's housed on an EXT3 partition.

When a Windows client browses this ncp volume, there are a few files that show up multiple times. They have the exact same name, size, time, and date. I've browsed from an XP machine running client 4.91 SP3 and SP5 and get the same results.

Checking this path out locally on the linux server shows the dir list correctly (no duplicate files) - so I'm thinking there may be a bug in ncp on the server.

Anyone else seen this and/or know if this is addressed by a patch?

Thanks,
Matt ]]> OES-L: Storage and Backup mcolwell http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/open-enterprise-server/oes-linux/oes-l-storage-backup/392146-duplicate-files-displayed-client-weird.html ncpcon mount + open-iscsi http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/open-enterprise-server/oes-linux/oes-l-storage-backup/392132-ncpcon-mount-open-iscsi.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:33:27 GMT Hello, got the Problem that my iscsi device will not be mounted rightly.

got the Problem that my iscsi device will not be mounted rightly.
We mount a iscsi-lun via open-iscsi to /opt/novell/groupwise
After that the path will be mounted as ncp volume 'grpwise'.
Manualy this works perfectly, but during system boot it will not work.
The open-iscsi starts but the volume will not be mount.
When i made a mount to see which volumes are the it says me that /dev/sdb1 is mounted to the path. but i can't umount it.
Are there any troubles with the open iscsi in oes2-sp1 'sles10sp2'?

Thank you.

NSS Vol management in IMan 2.7.3

I recently moved my SLPDA to another NETWARE 6.5sp7 server, because the last one was taken out of service.

I have gone in and edited SLP settings on the troubled SLES box (YAST>>SLP>>SLP serv Config tab>>Response to DA Server (3rd radio button down) Type in my SLPDA IP... )but it is still taking extremely long to manage NSS vols & pools in iMan. I'm talking 3-5 mins to pull up info when i browse to the server in iMan.

I know theres a file in OES-Netware to edit.. SLP.cfg or something..

So is there another file i need to edit on SLES so OES2 knows where my SLP server is now??
