[. . . ] For example: cn=nwcluster, ou=clusters, o=mycompany 5g On the Proxy User Configuration page, specify one of the following users as the NCS Proxy user, then click Next. OES Common Proxy User: If the OES Common Proxy User is enabled in eDirectory, the Use OES Common Proxy User check box is automatically selected and the NCS Proxy User Name and Specify NCS Proxy User Password fields are populated with the credentials of the OES Common Proxy User. LDAP Admin User: If the OES Common Proxy User is disabled in eDirectory, the Use OES Common Proxy User check box is automatically deselected and the NCS Proxy User Name and Specify NCS Proxy User Password fields are populated with the credentials of the LDAP Admin user. The fields are also automatically populated with the LDAP Admin credentials if you deselect the Use OES Common Proxy User check box. Another Administrator User: Deselect the Use OES Common Proxy User check box, then specify the credentials of an administrator user. You can reset the default settings by clicking Back to return to the Novell Cluster Services Configuration page, then clicking Next to continue again to the Proxy User Configuration page. 5h On the Configuration page, specify the following parameters, then click Finish. Converting NetWare 6. 5 Clusters to OES 2 Linux 31 Parameter Action IP address of this node If the server has multiple network adapters, select the IP address that Novell Cluster Services will use for this node. You will start Novell Cluster Services software on this node manually for the conversion process. Start Cluster Services now 5i On the OES Server Configuration page, scroll down to the Novell Cluster Services entry to review the summary of the Cluster Services configuration, then click Next. Wait while Novell Cluster Services is configured. 5j After the configuration is completed, click Finish to exit the OES Configuration page, then exit YaST. 6 If you have a shared disk system on the cluster, enter sbdutil -f at the Linux terminal console to verify that the node can see the cluster (SBD) partition on the SAN. sbdutil -f will also tell you the device on the SAN where the SBD partition is located. 7 Start cluster software by going to the /etc/init. d folder and running novell-ncs start. You must be logged in as root to run novell-ncs start. 8 Add and assign cluster resources to the new Linux cluster node. For information, see "Configuring Preferred Nodes for a Resource" in the OES 2 SP3: Novell Cluster Services 1. 8. 8 Administration Guide for Linux. 4. 3 Finalizing the Cluster Conversion If you have converted all nodes in a former NetWare cluster to OES 2 Linux, you must finalize the conversion process by issuing the cluster convert command on one Linux cluster node. The cluster convert command moves cluster resource load and unload scripts from the files where they were stored on Linux cluster nodes into eDirectory. This enables a Linux cluster that has been converted from NetWare to utilize eDirectory like the former NetWare cluster. WARNING: After you finalize the cluster conversion, rollback to NetWare is not supported. To finalize the cluster conversion: 1 Run cluster convert preview resource_name at the terminal console of one Linux cluster node. The preview switch lets you view the resource load and unload script changes that will be made when the conversion is finalized. Replace resource_name with the name of a resource that you want to preview. Beginning in OES 2 SP3, you can preview the information for all cluster resources by issuing the command without specifying a resource name. 2 Run cluster convert commit at the terminal console of one Linux cluster node to finalize the conversion. 32 OES 2 SP3: Novell Cluster Services Conversion Guide The cluster convert commit command generates or regenerates the cluster resource templates that are included with Novell Cluster Services for Linux. In addition to generating Linux cluster resource templates, this command deletes all NetWare cluster resource templates that have the same name as Linux cluster resource templates. The cluster resource templates are automatically created when you create a new Linux cluster, but are not created when you convert an existing NetWare cluster to Linux. 3 Update the cluster configuration on all nodes by running the cluster configuration daemon.
