1. Copy the NDPS directory from the sys volume to the shared cluster print volume.
2. Edit the SYS:ETC\HOST file. Add the shared print volume IP address to the HOST file on each node in the cluster. (ie: 151.155.10.10   ClusterPrintVol )
3. From NWAdmin or iManage: Create the broker object. The Resource Volume is the shared cluster volume. (see note 1)
4. From NWAdmin or iManage: Create the manager object. Point to the virtual server object for the server and the shared cluster volume.
5. In ConsoleOne, make changes to load / unload script for the Pool that holds the shared print volume.

At the BOTTOM of the load script add this:
        nss /transaction=<cluster volume name>
        load broker <broker name>   /allowdup
        load ndpsm <manager name> /dbvolume=nocheck /ipaddress=<shared print volume address>
        httpbind <shared print volume address> /keyfile:"SSL CertificateIP"

NOTE: You do not need to add the switch for the CertificateIP. For instance, you can add httpbind x.x.x.x:631 in order to open the unsecure port.

At the TOP of the unload script add this:
        unload broker
        unload ndpsm
        delay 5
        httpunbind <shared print volume address>

6. From ConsoleOne: Take the print volume offline then online. Check the server and observe that the broker and manager loaded.

7. From iManage or NWAdmin: Create printer objects.
8. From iManage or NWAdmin: Enable Printer object for IPP printing.
9. The customizable parts of iPrint (custom maps, etc.) are stored in SYS:LOGIN\IPPDOCS of the node that is hosting the NDPS volume, and must be manually copied to the SYS volume of each node in the cluster that the NDPS volume may migrate to.

NOTE 1: When creating the NDPS print objects, run iManage or NWAdmin from the node that is currently hosting the print volume.

NOTE 2:
** In Network Neighborhood the machine icon represents the pool,
** and the folder icon represents the shared volume
