  2. Introduction: Presentation Outline • Introduction • Speakers • Presentation Business • Review the Plan • The Design Matrix • Protected Memory Design • Additional Tools • Implement GroupWise • Domain and MTA • Post Office and POA • Gateways-GWIA and WebAccess • Summary

  3. Introduction: Speakers • Gregg A. Hinchman • Hinchman Consulting, Consultant • 10+ years of GroupWise Experience • 4 years of GroupWise clustering Experience • Co-Author: • “Success with Clustering GroupWise” • www.TayKratzer.com • “Success with GroupWise Document Management” • GroupWise Advisor Magazine Articles • Cool Solutions “Consultant’s Corner” articles

  4. Introduction: Speakers • Ed Hanley • Senior Consultant, Novell Inc. • 13+ years of GroupWise Experience • 5 years of GroupWise clustering Experience • Contributing technical Author: • “Success with Clustering GroupWise” • “Novell's GroupWise 6.5 Administrator's Guide” • “Novell's Guide to SANs and Cluster Services”

  5. Introduction: Presentation Business • Topic • We will discuss the implementation process for placing GroupWise in a clustered environment. • Format • OES NetWare Clustering: Session ASO402 • GroupWise Cluster Planning: Session ASG307 • GroupWise Cluster Implementation: This Session, ASG402 • Questions • Please hold until “Question Breaks” • Knowledge: • Clustering Principles • Advanced GroupWise 6.5 (understand configuration files, parameters) • NetWare 6.5 (OES)

  6. Review the Plan: The Design Matrix • What information did we collect? • Naming Standards • IP Addresses • Ports • Directories • Fail Over

  7. Review the Plan: Protected Memory • What is Protected Memory? • Administrator-defined space for NLMs • Why do we “love” and need Protected Memory for Clustering? • The cubicle office worker analogy • What we do not like about Protected Memory • Memory Used/Multiple GWENNx.NLM • OES Stability • Our Protected Memory Design • *MEM • Example: PMDOMMEM, GWIAMEM

  8. Review the Plan: Additional Tools • Handy tools for Clustering • Novell Server Consolidation Utility • NetWare Logger Screen • Cluster Monitor (CMON) • Cluster Resource Manager • NSS Management Utility (NSSMU)

  9. Review the Plan: Question Break • Questions? – Take “5”

  10. Implement GroupWise: Domain & MTA • Directories • Domain • Volume:\System\gw654 • Configuration Files (*.MTA) • /Home-Volume:\Domain Directory • /Cluster • /TCPPORT- • /HTTPPORT-

  11. Implement GroupWise: Domain & MTA • Loading the MTA • First time manually • Second time with GWUP.NCF - What's this? • Unload the MTA • First time manually • Second time with GWDN.NCF - What's this? • Configure the Cluster Resource • Load Script • Unload Script • Fail Over • Test the Cluster Resource

  12. Implement GroupWise: Question Break • Questions? – Take another “5”

  13. Implement GroupWise: Post Office & POA • Configuration Files (*.POA): • /Home-Volume:\Post Office Directory • /Cluster • /IP- • /PORT- • /MTPINPORT- • /MTPINIPADDR- • /MTPOUTPORT-The Parent Domains MTP Port • /MTPOUTIPADDR-The Parent Domains MTP IP Address • /HTTPPORT-

  14. Implement GroupWise: Post Office & POA • Loading the POA • First time manually • Second time with GWUP.NCF -What's in this? • Unload the POA • First time manually • Second time with GWDN.NCF -What's in this? • Configure the Cluster Resource • Load Script • Unload Script • Fail Over • Test the Cluster Resource

  15. Implement GroupWise: Question Break • Questions? – Still another “5”

  16. Implement GroupWise: Gateways • WebAccess Agent Configuration File (WA1.CFG) • /PH-Volume:\Domain\WPGATE\GATEWAY • /User=NONE, and /Password=NOTNEEDED • /Maxusers=500 • /Cluster • /Logdiskon • /HTTP • GWIA Configuration File (GWIA.CFG) • /Home-Volume:\domain\WPGATE\GATEWAY • /Dhome-Volume:\domain\WPGATE\GATEWAY • /Cluster • /HTTP • /HTTPPORT- • /Work-Volume:\domain\WPGATE\GWIA\000.prc\GWWORK

  17. Implement GroupWise: Gateways • Loading the Agent • First time manually • Second time with GWUP.NCF - What's in this? • Unload the Agent • First time manually • Second time with GWDN.NCF - What's in this? • Configure the Cluster Resource • Load Script • Unload Script • Fail Over • Test the Cluster Resource

  18. Summary • Best Practices • Knowledge -ATT Classes, Articles, Books (www.TayKratzer.com) • A Cluster of two is not much of a cluster, Use three nodes • Check the Health of GroupWise • Plan, Plan, Plan • Document, Document, Document • Set Standards - Names, IP Addresses, Ports • Use the configuration files to guarantee success • Not everything must failover - Acceptable Degradation • Not every GroupWise component must be clustered

  19. Summary: Question Break • Questions? – Yet another “5”
