NetWare 6 Storage Planning Considerations
If you plan on using Novell Storage Services (NSS) logical volumes in a DRM
configuration, you should be aware that the nature of Novell's Distributed File
Services (DFS) allows you to span an NSS volume across multiple hard disk
partitions. This is not desirable in a DRM configuration. Instead, you should maintain
a one-to-one relationship among LUNs, remote copy sets, NSS partitions, NSS pools,
and NSS logical volumes.
Additional Instructions for Failover/Failback
When NetWare volumes are created at the initiator site, they are inserted into the
Novell Directory Services (NDS) tree as servername_volumename (for example,
SERVER1_VOL1). After a site failover, the replicated NetWare volumes are still
available and can be mounted by any NetWare server at the target site, but the volumes
will now take on the new server name (for example, SERVER2_VOL1). In addition,
they will not be automatically inserted into NDS, and for traditional NetWare volumes
only, they will not maintain the file system permissions established at the initiator site.
You MUST perform the following steps the first time failed-over volumes are
mounted at the target site:
Traditional NetWare Volumes
1. After failing over to the target site and mounting the NetWare volumes, type
nwconfig from the file server console.
2. Select Directory Options.
3. Select Upgrade Mounted Volumes into the Directory, and supply an
administrator-equivalent userid and password.
4. From a Windows workstation (or the File Server's Graphical Console), use the
ConsoleOne utility to establish the desired file system permissions for the newly
inserted volumes.
NSS Logical Volumes
1. After failing over to the target site and mounting the NSS logical volumes, run
ConsoleOne from a Windows workstation or the File Server's Graphical Console.
2. From the Tools menu, select Disk Management > NSS Pools.
3. Select the correct NDS Tree, NDS Context, and Server when prompted.
