You can create file system only on one node of the cluster as follows:

Go to YaST > Partition> Cluster Partition and then create file system. iFolder supports the VFS (REISERFS and EXT3) and NSS file systems.

Create file system partition of the required size.

Ensure that the partition created in Step 1 is mounted.

Create a directory called ifolderdata on cluster volume.

Repeat Step 5 through Step 12 for every node in the cluster.

Do not create an ifolderdata directory on the other nodes because it is already present on the shared resource.

Configure iFolder 2.x from YaST 2 by executing yast2 ifolder2 to display the iFolder 2.x LDAP Server Configuration screen.

In the iFolder 2.x LDAP Server Configuration screen enter the required details as follows:

Configure iFolder for coexistence mode.

Stop the iFolder server on the node by executing the following:

/etc/init.d/novell-ifolder stop

Remove the following entries for the iFolder server from the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx

where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address of network card.

If these entries are not removed, then binding to the node's IP address gives the following error:

IP address is already in use

Restart the network by executing the following:

/etc/init.d/network restart

Modify the /etc/apache2/listen.conf configuration file.

Migrate the cluster resource to node 2.

Mount the shared resource on any one of the Linux nodes and complete Step 14 through Step 20 on that node.

Create the following directories:

Or

Copy the contents of the following directories

Or

Change the ownership of the directories created in Step 14 and the /mnt/ifolder/ifolderdata directory to the user novlifdr and group ifdrwww. Assign the directories permissions of drwxr-xr-x.

Use the following commands format to change permissions:

For VFS file system:

chown -R novlifdr:ifdrwww /mnt/ifolder

For NSS file system:

chown -R novlifdr:ifdrwww /media/nss/VOL1/ifolder

rights -f <path to ifolder data directory on NSS volume> -r all trustee novlifdr.<eDir admin context>.<eDir tree name>

For example:

rights -f /media/nss/VOL1/etc -r all trustee novlifdr.novell.MYTREE 

where /media/nss/VOL1/etc is the path of the etc directory copied on the NSS volume in Step 15, novell is the local eDirectory admin context ,and MYTREE is the local eDirectory tree name

Run the above command for all the directories copied in Step 15 as well as the ifolderdata directory.

Modify the configuration file as follows:

For VFS file system, make the following modifications in the file /mnt/ifolder/etc/novell/ifolder/conf/httpd.conf

Or

For NSS file system, make the following modifications in the file /media/nss/VOL1/etc/novell/ifolder/conf/httpd.conf

Modify the configuration file as follows:

For VFS file system, make the following changes in /mnt/folder/etc/novell/ifolder/conf/httpd_ifolder_unix.conf

Or

For NSS file system, make the following changes in /mnt/folder/etc/novell/ifolder/conf/httpd_ifolder_unix.conf

Recreate the following link for each node of the cluster using the following command format:

For VFS file system,

rm /opt/novell/ifolder/DocumentRoot

ln -s /opt/novell/ifolder/DocumentRoot /mnt/ifolder/var/opt/novell/ifolder/DocumentRoot

Or

For NSS file system,

rm /opt/novell/ifolder/DocumentRoot

ln -s /opt/novell/ifolder/DocumentRoot/media/nss/VOL1/var/opt/novell/ifolder/DocumentRoot

Unmount /mnt/ifolder.

Open iManager > Cluster > Cluster Options, then browse to select the cluster you want to manage.

Create a new cluster resource and select an iFolder template. Edit the existing load and unload scripts by specifying IP address of iFolder server, device name and mount point.

For VFS file system:

#!/bin/bash
./opt/novell/ncs/lib/ncsfuncs
# mount the file system
exit_on_error mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/ifolder
# add the IP address
exit_on_error add_secondary_ipaddress aa.bb.cc.dd
#setting permisions for ifolder data directory
exit_on_error chown -R novlifdr:ifdrwww /mnt/ifolder/ifolderdata
# start iFolder
exit_on_error /usr/sbin/httpd2-worker -k start -f /mnt/ifolder/etc/opt/novell/ifolder/conf/httpd.conf -DSSL
exit 0

The examples given here are specific for the EXT3 filesystem. To use REISERFS or EXT2 filesystems, replace the word ext3 in the load script with reiserfs or ext2 as required.

#!/bin/bash
./opt/novell/ncs/lib/ncsfuncs
#mount the file system
PID_FILE=/mnt/ifolder/var/opt/novell/ifolder/run/ifolder.pid
# stop iFolder 
ignore_error killproc -p $PID_FILE -TERM /usr/sbin/httpd2-worker
# Wait for all children to terminate 
for ((wait=0; wait<120; wait++)); 
do 
if test -f $PID_FILE;
then
    usleep 500000
else
    continue 2
fi
done
sleep 10
# del the IP address
ignore_error del_secondary_ipaddress aa.bb.cc.dd
# umount the file system 
exit_on_error umount /dev/evms/sda1
# return status 
exit 0 

iFolder template for NCS Linux clusters is only for EXT3 or reiserfs file system. To cluster-enable the NSS file system, create the cluster resource and then copy the following cluster load and unload scripts.Place the load script at the end of the existing script, after activating the NSS volume.Place the unload script before deactivating the NSS volume.

In the load and unload scripts, VOL means cluster NSS volume.Load Script for NSS:

# add the IP address
exit_on_error add_secondary_ipaddress a.b.c.d
# start iFolder
exit_on_error /usr/sbin/httpd2-worker -k start -f /media/nss/VOL/etc/opt/novell/ifolder/conf/httpd.conf -DSSL
# return status
exit 0

Unload script:

PID_FILE=/media/nss/VOL/var/opt/novell/ifolder/run/ifolder.pid
# stop iFolder
ignore_error killproc -p $PID_FILE -TERM /usr/sbin/httpd2-worker
# Wait for all children to terminate
for ((wait=0; wait<120; wait++));
do
	if test -f $PID_FILE;
	then
		usleep 500000
  else
		continue 2
if
done
# del the IP address
ignore_error del_secondary_ipaddress a.b.c.d
# return status
exit 0

Restart all the nodes.
