Unable to change lookup namespace on clustered NSS volumes

Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2)
Novell Cluster Services 1.8.4
Novell Cluster Services 1.8.3

Situation

You are unable to change the lookup namespace on a clustered NSS volume if using 64-bit OES2.  You don't receive an error - the change simply never takes effect.  There is no problem making the change on non-clustered volumes on 64-bit or any volume type on 32-bit OES2.

Resolution

This has been reported to engineering.

As a workaround, modify the load script to specify a namespace as described in the documentation here: https://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/clus_admin_lx/data/bffyhvq.html
