Novell Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) for Linux is available beginning in OES 2 SP1 Linux.
After you set up Novell AFP on the Linux node and before you finalize the NetWare-to-Linux
conversion, use the AFP function in the Migration Tool to convert the configuration. For
information, see "Migrating AFP from NetWare to OES 2 SP3 Linux " in the OES 2 SP3: Migration
Tool Administration Guide.
The commands in the scripts are also different. After the migration, modify the load and unload
scripts on the Linux server. For information, see Section 3.6, "Comparing File Access Protocol
Resource Script Commands," on page 23.
AFP on Linux supports NCP cross-protocol file locking, which allows NCP, AFP, and CIFS users to
access files on an NSS volume concurrently without data corruption by locking the files across
protocols. On Linux, the cross-protocol file locking parameter for NCP Server is disabled by default.
It must be enabled on each node in the cluster if you plan to give both NCP users and AFP users
access to NSS volume in the cluster. See "Configuring Cross-Protocol File Locks for NCP Server"
in the OES 2 SP3: NCP Server for Linux Administration Guide.
