NAME

       networker.cluster - configure NetWorker software as highly-available

SYNOPSIS

       networker.cluster [ -r nsr_bin ]

DESCRIPTION

       The networker.cluster is an interactive script for configuring the Net-
       Worker Client or NetWorker Server as a highly available application  in
       a  cluster.   It should be run after a proper installation of NetWorker
       on all the nodes of the cluster to activate the failover	 and  cluster-
       aware capabilities of NetWorker.

       The  configuration  separates the local NetWorker database area used by
       the cluster-aware NetWorker Client from the global  NetWorker  database
       area  used by the Highly Available NetWorker Server. This is done via a
       set of symbolic links  which  are  created  to  enable  easy  switching
       between	the global and local NetWorker databases. The global NetWorker
       database is on a shared storage media and follows the Highly  Available
       (virtual) NetWorker Server on a failover.

       The  NetWorker.clustersvr  file	is  created  in the NetWorker binaries
       directory to specify that NetWorker has been installed as a high-avail-
       able service.

       The script then creates the appropriate lcmap(8) script for the cluster
       platform.

       When NetWorker Server is configured, the	 user  is  asked  for  cluster
       platform	 specific  information to prepare for registration of the Net-
       Worker Server with the cluster software. However, the setup is finished
       manually.  Only the NetWorker Client is started on the node by the net-
       worker.cluster script.  Refer to	 the	NetWorker  Installation	 Guide
       appropriate for your cluster platform for specific instructions.

       If  a  mistake  is made during the configuration, run networker.cluster
       with the -r option to undo the changes.
       

OPTIONS

       -r nsr-bin
	      Used to remove the cluster configuration of NetWorker  software.
	      The  optional  nsr-bin parameter is used to specify the location
	      of NetWorker binaries when NetWorker software  is	 installed  in
	      non-default location.
