DNS Server

1 2
You can migrate the data from the Novell DNS Server on NetWare to a Novell DNS Server on Linux
after you have installed and set up DNS services on an OES 2 SP1 Linux node in the cluster. You
cannot directly reuse the data.

12.1 Prerequisites for Migration

For information about prerequisites, see
OES 2 SP3: Migration Tool Administration
12.2 Migrating the DNS Configuration from
NetWare to Linux Clusters in the Same Tree
In this scenario, both the NetWare server and the OES 2 SP1 Linux server are in the same eDirectory
tree. The NetWare source server must be running NetWare 5.1 SP8 or later versions. The Linux
target server must be running OES 2 SP1 Linux on either 32-bit or 64-bit hardware.
Use iManager to move the DNS server from a NetWare NCP server to an OES 2 SP1 Linux NCP
server. For information see
in the OES 2 SP3: Migration Tool Administration

12.3 Post-Migration Tasks

See "Post-Migration Procedure" in the
1 Use iManager or the Java Management Console to check for the existence of the following
objects:

DNS-DHCP

DNSDHCP-GROUP

RootServerInfo

DNS Server object
2 Use the Clusters plug-in for iManager to verify the Cluster load script and unload script of the
DNS cluster resources.
For information, see
Administration Guide.
3 Start the DNS server on the OES 2 Linux cluster.
