9.10 Repairing a Cluster

Repair a NetWare Cluster: To repair a NetWare cluster,

  1. In iManager, select Clusters > My Clusters.

  2. In your personalized My Clusters list, select the check box next to the cluster you want to repair.

  3. Select Action > Repair.

This option is useful if you are replacing an existing NetWare server. Install the NetWare operating system and OES Cluster services on the new server, and name server with the same name as the old server. Choose the Repair option to automatically configure OES Cluster Services on the replacement server. You must manually copy the ldncs.ncf and uldncs.ncf files from the sys:\system directory to this node from another node in the cluster.

Repair an OES Linux Cluster: To repair an OES cluster,

  1. In iManager, select Clusters > My Clusters.

  2. In your personalized My Clusters list, select the check box next to the cluster you want to repair.

  3. Select Action > Repair.

The Repair option is useful when you see a mismatch in the cluster resource list or the resource priority list. The cluster repair will make the resource list consistent with the resource objects.

For example, if the cluster status command output is blank or the deleted resources are still listed, the repair option will make the resource list match the resource objects. Resources will then be displayed properly in CLI and iManager.

NCS logs the corresponding repair option messages in the /var/opt/novell/log/ncs/repair.log file.
