Descriptions of the information required for the page fields and options include: Name and Description: Specify a name, and if desired, a description of the script you are creating. CIMOM IP/DNS: If you are not using a template and if you selected the CIM Client check box on the previous page, specify the IP address or DNS name for your SAN. This is the IP address or DNS name that is used for SAN management. Namespace: If you selected the CIM Client check box on the previous page, accept the default namespace, or specify a different namespace for your SAN. Namespace determines which models and classes are used with your SAN. Consult your SAN documentation to determine which namespace is required for your SAN. Username and Password: If you selected the CIM Client check box on the previous page, specify the username and password that is used to connect to and manage your SAN. Port: If you selected the CIM Client check box on the previous page, accept the default port number or specify a different port number. This is the port number that CIMOM (your SAN manager) uses. Consult your SAN documentation to determine which port number you should use. 76 BCC 1. 1 SP2: Administration Guide for NetWare 6. 5 SP8 novdocx (en) 13 May 2009 Secure: If you selected the CIM Client check box on the previous page, select or deselect the Secure check box depending whether you want SAN management communication to be secure (HTTPS) or non-secure (HTTP).

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. You must create at least one shared volume in a cluster-enabled pool. Typically, all volumes are created when you initially set up the cluster resource and before you need to cluster migrate or fail over the resource to other servers in the cluster. Configuring Host-Based File System Mirroring for NSS Pools 139 novdocx (en) 13 May 2009 You can add volumes to the pool later by cluster migrating the pool cluster resource back to the original server node in the cluster where the pool was created.
