11.0 Quick Reference for Clustering Services and Data

You can use OES Cluster Services to provide high-availability access to OES services and some Linux services. See the tables in this section for links to information about how to configure cluster resources for services and data.

Table 11-1 Clustering OES Services with OES Cluster Services

OES Service

For clustering information, see

Certificate Server

The NetIQ Certificate Server is not cluster-enabled. The Certificate Server service issues Server Certificate objects that might need to reside on each node in a cluster, depending on the service that is clustered.

See eDirectory Server Certificates in the OES 2015 SP1: Novell Cluster Services NetWare to Linux Conversion Guide.
