Situation
If an OES11 SP1 cluster node has ever received the "July 2013 Scheduled Maintenance for OES11SP1" update, the iPrint cluster resource will load to comatose state when attempting to load to that node. Upgrading to newer code will not get past the problem.
Resolution
1. Within the cluster load script, comment the following 3 lines
3. Run the iprint_nss_relocate script
5. Offline and online the cluster to the problem node to confirm the problem is resolved.
;ignore_error mv /media/nss/<iPrintVolName>/var/opt/novell/iprint/iprintgw.lpr /media/nss/<iPrintVolName>/var/opt/novell/iprint/iprintgw.lpr.bak2. Load the cluster resource to the non-working node.
;exit_on_error rcnovell-idsd start
;exit_on_error rcnovell-ipsmd start
3. Run the iprint_nss_relocate script
Syntax:4. Remove the 3 comment marks from the cluster load script./opt/novell/iprint/bin/iprint_nss_relocate -a <admin dn> -n <NSS path> -l clusterExample:/opt/novell/iprint/bin/iprint_nss_relocate -a cn=admin,o=novell -n /media/nss/MyiPrintVolName -l cluster
- Replace MyiPrintVolName with the name of the cluster volume
- Do not have '/' after the /media/nss/MyiPrintVolName
5. Offline and online the cluster to the problem node to confirm the problem is resolved.
Cause
The "July 2013 Scheduled Maintenance for OES11SP1" update incorrectly sets some of the Novell iPrint symbolic links necessary for an iPrint cluster configuration. The incorrect sym links are:
/var/opt/novell/iprint -> /media/nss/<iPrintVolName>/var/opt/novell/log/iprint/
/var/opt/novell/log/iprint -> 601
The correct sym links should be:
/var/opt/novell/iprint -> /media/nss/<iPrintVolName>/var/opt/novell/iprint
/etc/opt/novell/iprint/conf -> /media/nss/<iPrintVolName>/etc/opt/novell/iprint/conf
/var/opt/novell/log/iprint -> /media/nss/<iPrintVolName>/var/opt/novell/log/iprint
Releases after the July update does not introduce this problem, but the newer updates also do not resolve the problem. The steps in the RESOLUTION section of this TID must be followed.
