[. . . ] You can also edit and delete existing script parameters by clicking the applicable link. Script Parameters Text Box: Use this text box to add script commands to the script you are creating. You can add a Perl script, or any commands that can be run on Linux or NetWare (depending on your platform). If you add commands to call outside scripts, those scripts must exist on every server in the cluster. CIM Enabled: Select this box if your SAN supports SMI-S and you did not select the CIM Client check box on the previous page. Synchronous: If this check box is not selected, multiple scripts can be run concurrently. Selecting the box causes scripts to run individually, one after another. Most SAN vendors do not support running multiple scripts concurrently. Edit Flags: This is an advanced feature, and should not be used except under the direction of Novell Support. 7c Click Apply and OK on the Script Details page, then click OK on the Resource Properties page to save your script changes. IMPORTANT: After clicking Apply and OK on the Script Details page, you are returned to the Resource Properties page (with the Business Continuity tab selected). If you do not click OK on the Resource Properties page, your script changes are not saved. IMPORTANT: The CIMOM daemons on all nodes in the business continuity cluster should be configured to bind to all IP addresses on the server. Business Continuity Clustering connects to the CIMOM by using the master IP address for the cluster. Because the master IP address moves to other nodes during a failover or migration, the CIMOM must be configured to bind to all IP addresses (secondary and primary), rather than just the primary IP address of the host. See "Changing the OpenWBEM CIMOM Configuration" (http://www. novell. com/documentation/oes/cimom/data/bv3wn7m. html#bv3wn7m) in the OpenWBEM Services Administration Guide for OES for more information. Configuring Business Continuity Clustering Software 77 novdocx (en) 13 May 2009 6. 2. 5 Verifying BCC Administrator User Trustee Rights and Credentials You must ensure that the user who manages your BCC (BCC Administrator user) is a trustee of the Cluster objects and has at least Read and Write eDirectory rights to the All Attributes Rights property. For instructions, see "Assigning Trustee Rights for the BCC Administrator User to the Cluster Objects" on page 48. You must also ensure that the BCC Administrator user has file system rights to the _ADMIN:\Novell\Cluster directory of all nodes in your BCC. This is necessary because the_ADMIN volume is virtual, and is created each time the server starts. For this reason, you cannot assign eDirectory trustee rights to the _ADMIN volume. For instructions, see "Assigning Trustee Rights for the BCC Administrator User to the _ADMIN Volume" on page 48. You must also ensure that the BCC Administrator user has Read, Write, Create, Erase, Modify, and File Scan access rights to the sys:/tmp directory on every node in your clusters. [. . . ] 5 Select the partition you want to mirror (this might be the partition you just created) and press the F3 key. 6 Select the device with free space or the partition you want to mirror to, then select YES to mirror the partition. To ensure disaster recovery, the device you select to mirror should be in another storage array in the other data center. D. 2 Creating NSS Volumes After you create the pool and its mirror, you must create an NSS volume on each of the pool resources so that it works properly as a cluster resource. To create an NSS volume on a shared pool, follow the instructions in "Creating NSS Volumes on a Shared Pool" in the OES 2 SP1: Novell Cluster Services 1. 8. 6 for Linux Administration Guide. [. . . ]
