Everyone,
We are running DUV4.0D with TruCluster 1.5 on 2 Alpha 4100s running
Oracle database. The question is, how do we manage the cluster environment
with things such as:
User management (we have 5 locations of users, with support staff at
each that would need to take care of their own location)
creating accounts
changing passwords
retiring accounts
Printer support (we have printers are 5 different locations)
Managing /etc/printcap
Print queue management
Having 5 differnet locations with system staff at each location, we
have to have a way for each location to handle accounts/printers at their
own location without stepping on the toes of others trying to do the same.
AND also do the changes on both ASE machines so TruCluster won't be hosed.
Here are some situations that I can see that we need to take care of:
If someone creates an account on one machine while someone else is
creating an account on the other machine - then the TruCluster will be
screwed up because it requires the same UID for the same person on both
machines.
If someone creates a printer on one machine without doing the same
thing on the other machine - then the same holds true.
If someone changes their password on one machine without changing it
on the other, then if TruCluster relocates the service to the other
machine, the person won't be able to log in, because their password wasn't
changed on that machine as well...
Are there any tools out there that aid in TruCluster management? Any
advice would be appreciated...
