ABSTRACT:

The Cluster Virtual Server Bindery (CVSBIND) utility advertises cluster virtual
servers in the bindery. This supports access to cluster volumes via UNC
pathname.

The recommended way to attach to a cluster volume is via its fully
distinguished NDS object name. This may not always be possible. CVSBIND offers
a solution in circumstances where only UNC based naming is available.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:


Down the cluster.
Type CLUSTER DOWN at one server in the cluster. 

Unload the cluster software.
Type ULDNCS at each server in the cluster.

Copy CVSBIND.NLM to SYS:\SYSTEM on each server in the cluster.

Edit the LDNCS.NCF (load NetWare cluster services) and ULDNCS (unload NetWare
cluster services) scripts. Add commands to load and unload CVSBIND.

SYS:\SYSTEM\LDNCS.NCF

Add this command
	CVSBIND
after this command
	CMON
but before this command
	CLUSTER JOIN

SYS:\SYSTEM\ULDNCS.NCF

Add this command
	unload CVSBIND
after this command
	CLUSTER LEAVE
but before this command
	unload CMON

Restart the cluster.
Type LDNCS at each server in the cluster.



ISSUE: 

Once loaded, CVSBIND supports the following console commands:

·	CVSBIND ADD SERVER_NAME IP_ADDRESS
·	CVSBIND DEL SERVER_NAME IP_ADDRESS

The syntax is similar to the NUDP ADD and DEL commands. CVSBIND commands should
be added to cluster volume resource load and unload scripts as described below.
Add the CVSBIND ADD command to the cluster volume resource load script before
the NUDP command.

Add the CVSBIND DEL command to the cluster volume resource unload script after
the NUDP command.

The simplest way to do this is copy then paste the existing NUDP command and
substitute CVSBIND for NUDP. The CVSBIND command is case insensitive but the
server name should be entered in upper case.

Example cluster volume resource load script

nss /activate=TESTVOL
mount TESTVOL VOLID=254
trustmig TESTVOL watch
CVSBIND ADD CLUSTER_TESTVOL_SERVER 10.10.10.10
NUDP ADD CLUSTER_TESTVOL_SERVER 10.10.10.10
add secondary ipaddress 10.10.10.10

Example cluster volume resource unload script

del secondary ipaddress 10.10.10.10
NUDP DEL CLUSTER_TESTVOL_SERVER 10.10.10.10
CVSBIND DEL CLUSTER_TESTVOL_SERVER 10.10.10.10
trustmig TESTVOL unwatch
dismount TESTVOL /force
nss /forcedeactivate=TESTVOL

The CVSBIND ADD and DEL commands will add or delete bindery service entries in
the SLP namespace for the supplied virtual server name and its corresponding IP
address. NetWare bindery emulation is implemented via the SLP URL
service:bindery.novell. You can inspect the SLP namespace with the following
console commands:

display slp services
display slp attributes service:bindery.novell:
