Comparing Script Length Limits For Netware And Linux; Comparing Script Commands For Netware And Linux - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER - CONVERSION GUIDE 12-2010 Manual

The normal translations performed by the Cluster Translation Library are described in the following
sections:

Section 3.3, "Comparing Script Commands for NetWare and Linux," on page 20

Section 3.4, "Comparing Master IP Address Scripts," on page 21

Section 3.5, "Comparing NSS Pool Resource Scripts," on page 22

Section 3.6, "Comparing File Access Protocol Resource Script Commands," on page 23
IMPORTANT: If the commands in cluster resource's load or unload scripts are not part of the
translation library, the cluster resource can end up in a comatose state.
Beginning in OES 2 SP2, Novell Cluster Services allows you to customize the translation syntax
that us used for load and unload scripts in mixed-platform situations by defining new syntax
translations to be used in addition to the normal translations. For information, see
"Customizing the Translation Syntax for Converting Load and Unload Scripts," on page
3.2 Comparing Script Length Limits for NetWare
and Linux
Scripts have different size limits on NetWare and OES 2 Linux. In a mixed-node cluster, the scripts
for NetWare resources that are cluster migrated to OES 2 Linux nodes are restricted to the NetWare
script-size limits until the final
The maximum supported lengths for cluster scripts' content are as follows:
Script
Load script
Unload script
Monitor script
In cases where a Linux converted script exceeds the imposed NetWare script size limit, it is best to
avoid bringing the resource online on OES 2 Linux nodes until the final cluster convert command
has been run.
IMPORTANT: Because the Linux script for GroupWise exceeds the NetWare script limit, we
recommend that you do not online GroupWise resources in while running in mixed-node clusters.
3.3 Comparing Script Commands for NetWare
and Linux
Table 3-1 identifies some of the NetWare cluster load and unload script commands that the Cluster
Translation Library script searches for and the Linux commands that it replaces them with (unless
the commands are deleted).
