Configuring clustering support for hosts running NetWare operating systems

You must configure the Novell Storage Services (NSS) for clustering support.

Perform the following steps to configure NSS for clustering:
  1. Find and open the SYS\SYSTEM\LDNCS.NCF file.
  2. Configure NSS to prevent clustered hosts from entering a failover cascade when a single host fails by using the following steps:
    1. Find the line containing CLSTRLIB.
    2. Add the /HMO=OFF parameter (for example, CLSTRLIB /HMO=OFF ).
  3. Configure NSS to prevent hosts from entering the recovery state following cluster or I/O errors by ensuring that the SET AUTO RESTART AFTER ABEND line is set to 3. The following line is an example:
    SET AUTO RESTART AFTER ABEND=3
    A value of 3 causes the host to immediately restart following a cluster or I/O abend. A value less than 3 will cause the host to enter and remain in the recovery state with its network card disabled.
