2 Make a note of the services that are installed on the server you are converting.
You might want to install the same components on the Linux node if they are available.
3 On the NetWare server that you want to convert to Linux, remove eDirectory.
You can do this by running NWConfig, then selecting Product Options > Directory Options
<install NDS> > Remove Directory Services from this server.
4 Bring down the NetWare server you want to convert to Linux.
Any cluster resources that were running on the server should fail over to another server in the
cluster.
You can also manually cluster migrate the resources to another server in the cluster prior to
bringing down the server. This prevents the resources from failing back to the node after you
have completed the upgrade.
5 In eDirectory, remove (delete) the Cluster Node object, the Server object, and all corresponding
objects relating to the downed NetWare server.
Depending on your configuration, there could be 10 or more objects that relate to the downed
NetWare server.
6 Run DSRepair from another server in the eDirectory tree to fix any directory problems.
If DSRepair finds errors or problems, run it multiple times until no errors are returned.
7 Install OES 2 Linux on the server, but do not install the Novell Cluster Services option in OES
Services at this time.
You can use the same server name and IP address that were used on the NetWare server. This is
suggested, but not required.
