Make your NCP volume highly available with heartbeat
I wrote a Heartbeat2 resource agent to make your NCP volumes on an OES2 Linux server highly availble if you don’t want to use Novell Cluster Services (NCS).
This only works for NCP volumes that do _NOT_ reside on NSS!
Take the resource agent and drop it in /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/
Create an IP resource (IPaddr2), a filesystem resource and a NCP Volume resource (NcpVolume) and put them together in one group.
If you are interested drop me an email and I’ll provide you a complete INSTALL/README document.

OES2 fanboy
I must admit it, I really like the new Open Enterprise Server 2 from N. It’s a great product with a lot of nice features
- Virtualized NetWare
- eDirectory integrated DHCP/DNS on Linux
- Dynamic Storage Technology
- DFS
When I’m doing presentations and demos about this product it’s always fun to see the faces of old-skool NetWare admins when I’m starting a NetWare inside Xen on top of Linux.
