Services
On NetWare, Archive and Versioning Services uses a MySQL database. On Novell Open Enterprise
Server (OES) 2 Linux, it uses a PostgreSQL database. You can migrate the data from the MySQL
database to the PostgreSQL database on Linux. You must configure a new cluster resource on a
shared Linux POSIX file system for the PostgreSQL database.
The load script commands are also different on OES 2 Linux. For information, see
and Unload Scripts" in the
Guide.

4 Cluster migrate the shared NSS pool resource that contains the volumes that were being
archived from the NetWare server to a Linux node.

Archive and Version Service for Novell Cluster
and Version Services 2.1 Administration
7 On the Linux node where the primary NSS pool resources are active, use the Clusters plug-in
in iManager to create an Archive Versioning cluster resource.
