Going thru the documentation to set up a clustered GroupWise 7 environment in our existing GroupWise system.
obviously I need to set up a pair of Domains and a pair of Post Offices on each OES2 Linux box.
and each Linux box needs to have it's own unique IP address.
and each Linux box needs to point to a shared partition.
Okay - no problem. I've got two nodes in the OES2 cluster. They are using iSCSI to point back to a NSS volume on a SAN. The OES2 Linux cluster is set up properly and failover tests have verified access to the NSS volume.
NOW - setting up GroupWise on the environment is, to say the least, challenging.
It would REALLY help if clustering examples were given, or better yet, GOOD documentation.
For instance, anyone care to decipher this line:
'Also specify the secondary IP address of the shared partition where you plan to create the domain'
uh... my shared partition doesn't have a primary IP address, let alone a secondary IP address. Can someone please explain to me (in English, not Novell-ese) what exactly I need to do in order to set up a two node GroupWise 7 cluster? Diagrams would really help.
Here is the info I have so far:
NODE1:
gwnode1.colo.acme
10.100.141.46
NODE2:
gwnode2.colo.acme
10.100.141.47
OES Cluster server:
GRPW_CLUSTER_DATA_SERVER.colo.acme
10.100.141.51
the NSS volume is:
/media/nss/DATA
of course, only ONE Linux server has access to it at any time... so installation is going to be interesting...
