| After the installation of ERP LN on all the nodes, some additional manual actions are needed. In the Cluster Administrator, open the group with the Disk used by ERP LN. Rename the group to a more descriptive name. On the Baan group, right click and select the New->Resource menu item. The New Resource dialog will appear. Supply the following: Name-> resource name Description-> meaningful description Resource type-> IP Address Group-> select a group from the drop down list Click Next, the dialog with possible owners will appear. Click Next. The ERP LN IP address has no dependencies. Click Next. Supply the IP Address and select the Public network. Click Finish. On the ERP LN group right-click and select the New->Resource menu item. Create a resource of type ‘Network Name’. Supply the following: Name-> resource name Description-> meaningful description Resource type-> IP Address Group-> select a group from the drop down list Click Next. Add all nodes. Click Next. The ERP LN Network name is dependent on previously created IP address resource. Add the ERP LN IP address dependency and click Next. Finally, provide a name for the ERP LN network. This name is the virtual node name by which the ERP LN cluster is accessible, such as BW. Select DNS Registration Must Succeed and click Finish. The addition of an IP Address resource and a Network Name resource can be done in parallel with the installation of ERP LN on all the nodes of the cluster. Post-installation steps clustering The following steps can only be done if the installation of ERP LN on all the cluster nodes is finished. Whenever the porting set must be updated, the ERP LN Environment resource must be removed beforehand. The porting set can then be upgraded and the ERP LN Environment resource must be added again. Right click ERP LN cluster group, and select the New->Resource menu item. Supply a resource name and select the correct Resource type: ERP LN Environment. Supply a meaningful name and description. Click Next. The ERP LN environment is dependant on the disk used by the cluster group, used by ERP LN. Select the disk resource and click Add. Click Next to continue with the environment properties. Select the parameters Tab and supply the name of the ERP LN Environment. Optionally select the Start JobDaemon checkbox. For more information about the job daemon, refer to the section “Setup a failover job daemon“. The environment name provided here is the same name as the environment used earlier (erplncluster). Click Finish. After the resource has been created, the resource must be brought online to use it. Right-click the group name, and choose to bring the group online. For best performance it is advisable that the Database group and the ERP LN Group are owned by different nodes. To move ownership of a group, right-click the group to select the Move Group menu item. Moving the ownership of a group takes some seconds. Moving the ERP LN Group can take longer, because of the reaction of the Job Daemon to the Stop command. For instructions on how to enable license daemon on a cluster, refer to the section “Setup a failover license daemon”. For instructions on how to enable job daemon on a cluster, refer to section, “Setup a failover job daemon”. Failover The failover behavior of the groups may be influenced by specifying so called preferred owners. This is done as follows: Right click the group, to select the Properties menu item of the group for which you want to see or modify the preferred owners. Click Modify. Select the nodes to be added to the preferred owners. Click the arrow (->). 4 Adapt the order of the preferred nodes by means of the ^ and V buttons and click OK. For further information about failover behavior and preferred owners, refer to the corresponding help topics of the Cluster Administrator. Setup a failover license daemon Open $BSE/lib/license6.1 file. This file must contain all names of the nodes as comma separated list, for example node1,node2. Open Infor Management snap-in via Start-> Programs->Baan menu. Right click on BaanLicensing and click Install Service. The BaanLicensing service is now registered to the Windows service manager. Obtain a license key and brand all cluster nodes. Repeat Steps 2 - 4 on each cluster node. Open Cluster Administrator. Right click on the ERP LN cluster group, and select New->resource. Create a Baan Licensing resource. Supply a meaningful name and description. Open $BSE/lib/license6.1 file. Replace the list of comma separated nodes by the virtual ERP LN node name. Setup a failover job daemon If the ERP LN Environment resource was created with Job daemon enabled, refer to step 6 of Post-installation steps, complete the following steps: Open Infor Management snap-in. The snap-in can be accessed via Start-> Programs->Baan menu Right click on Job daemon service: Install the job daemon service. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on each cluster node. |
