1.3 SBD Devices Must Be Marked as Shareable for Clustering

Novell Cluster Services for Linux requires that the devices used for the SBD partition be explicitly marked as Shareable for Clustering. When converting a NetWare cluster, ensure that the SBD device, or both devices for a mirrored SBD, are marked as Shareable for Clustering before you add the first Linux node to the cluster.

  1. Log in to the master NetWare node as the root user, then open a terminal console.

  2. At the console prompt, enter

    nssmu

  3. In the NSSMU main menu, select Devices, then press Enter.

  4. Select the SBD device.

  5. If Shareable for Clustering is set to No, press F6 to share the device.

    Wait for the page to refresh. If the change is successful, Shareable for Clustering is set to Yes.

  6. If the SBD is mirrored, repeat Step 4 and Step 5 for the device that is used as the SBD mirror.
