Installation guide

Deploying eDirectory on High Availability Clusters 101
 /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf ( n4u.server.configdir )

/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/log
NOTE: If you install eDirectory in a non-default location, you can use the ndsconfig get
command to find the
vardir , dir paths used in your installation. nds.conf should be in the
default location, which is /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/nds.conf .
7 On the primary cluster node server, open a terminal and run the following command to stop the
eDirectory service:
ndsmanage stopall
8 In the terminal, navigate to the location of the configuration utility, nds-cluster-config . The
utility is located in the
/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin directory.
9 Run the following command:
nds-cluster-config -s /<sharedfilesystem>
Where <sharedfilesystem> is the location you want to use for the eDirectory shared cluster
data.
NOTE: You can also run the utility in unattended mode by using the -u option. If you use this
option, the utility does not ask for confirmation when configuring eDirectory on a cluster.
If you use the unattended option, you must also use the
-s option and specify the shared cluster
file system.
10 After the utility verifies the cluster shared storage is valid, click y to continue with configuration
on the cluster.
The configuration utility moves the data in the directories above to the following locations on
the shared file system:

<sharedfilesystem>/nici
 <sharedfilesystem>/data
 <sharedfilesystem>/data/
 <sharedfilesystem>/conf
 <sharedfilesystem>/log
11 Start eDirectory services by running the following command:
ndsmanage startall
12 Check the status of eDirectory by using ndsstat. eDirectory services should be up and running.
13 Stop eDirectory services by running the following command:
ndsmanage stopall
14 Log in to the server you want to use as the secondary node of the cluster.
15 Use the cluster manager to move the shared storage to the secondary node.
16 Install the same version of eDirectory on the secondary cluster node that you installed on the
primary cluster node, but do not configure eDirectory.
17 In the terminal, navigate to the location of the configuration utility on the secondary node. The
utility is located in the
/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin directory.
18 Open a terminal and run the following command:
nds-cluster-config -s /<sharedfilesystem>
