Novell Clustering Problem

clusternovellsles

I am trying to cluster 3 servers to then mount an NSS. I have all 3 configured and ready to roll. The only problem is none of them are apart of any cluster. When I run the:
"cluster join"
command I get the following:


Joining...
Now a member of
This node is not a member of a cluster

I'm very green to clustering so I don't know exactly what to look for in this case. There is an edirectory object that is labeled "cluster" and it has all 3 servers listed underneath the object.

I have NCS installed and I am assuming configured properly. I have looked in the HA section of yast and insured that all 3 servers are a part of "cluster". iManager throws this error when I try to run cluster manager:


File Protocol error occurred: cannot open the NCS version file on the selected cluster. The Cluster software may not currently be running on this server.

It is all sles oes sp2. Not updated (for authentication reasons).

Any amount of help is greatly appreciated.

I Know its annoying when people say "have you looked at the documentation" but Novell do have a lot of resources on the support site...

If you go in to yast2 and use

OES Enterprise Server > OES Install and Configuration...

Once run it shows the parts that are configured etc...does it report NCS as configured?

Novell Doc Link

Hope this helps or gets you started in the right direction

I forgot to mention that iManager will throw back issues with cluster if it can not connect etc so you need to look at the cluster from the server level first in my opinion...

see you error comes with tickets like iManager Cluster which could be confusing
