The considerations involved in planning a new domain in a clustering environment are essentially the same as for any other environment.
Primary Domain:
If you are setting up a new GroupWise system in a cluster, you are creating the primary domain as you complete the tasks in this section. To prepare, review Planning Your Basic GroupWise System
, then print and fill out the Basic GroupWise System Worksheet
in Installing a Basic GroupWise System
in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide. This covers planning the primary domain and an initial post office in the primary domain.
Secondary Domain:
If your GroupWise system already exists, you are creating a new secondary domain in the cluster. To prepare, review Planning a New Domain
, then print and fill out the Domain Worksheet
in Domains
in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide.
Regardless of the type of domain you are creating, keep in mind the following cluster-specific details as you fill out the worksheet you need:
When you specify the location for the domain directory (and for a new GroupWise system, the post office directory) on the worksheet, remember that it will be on shared storage, not on the node where you will be running the GroupWise Installation program. Therefore, each node will mount the domain directory or post office directory when its resource group is active on that node.
Do not concern yourself with the GroupWise agent information on the worksheet. You will plan the agent installation later. If you are filling out the Basic GroupWise System Worksheet, stop with item 17. If you are filling out the Domain Worksheet, stop with item 10.
When you have completed the worksheet, transfer the key information from the Basic GroupWise System Worksheet or the Domain Worksheet to the GroupWise Clustering Worksheet.

Under Item 2: Domain Name, transfer the domain name and domain directory to the GroupWise Clustering Worksheet. Specify the mount point where the domain directory will be mounted to each node when it becomes active. |

Under Item 7: Cluster Resources for Domain, specify the name of the cluster resource group that will represent the domain (for example, group_dom1), the name of the resource for the MTA (for example, resource_mta2, and the name of the domain (for example, Waltham1). |
IMPORTANT:Do not create the new domain until you are instructed to do so in Section 32.0, Setting Up a Domain and a Post Office in a Heartbeat Cluster.
