Consider the guidelines in this section when converting Novell Storage Services (NSS) pool cluster

16.1 NSS Pool Cluster Migration

In the mixed-node cluster, NSS pool cluster resources created on NetWare can be failed over or
cluster migrated to nodes that are running OES 2 Linux where NSS is installed and running. Some
NSS features are not available or work differently on Linux. For information, see
Issues for NSS" in the OES 2 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for
Pool snapshots use different technologies on NetWare and Linux. Make sure to delete pool
snapshots for all clustered pools before you begin the cluster conversion.
16.2 NSS File System Migration to NCP Volumes
or Linux POSIX File Systems
To move data from NSS file systems on NetWare to NCP volumes or to Linux POSIX file systems
on Linux, you must use the OES 2 SP1 Migration tool. For information, see
from NetWare, OES 1 or OES 2 to OES 2 SP3
Administration Guide.
16.3 Estimated Time Taken to Build the Trustee
File on Linux
On Linux, NCP Server stores file system trustees and rights information in the
.trustee_database.xml
system also stores this information in its file system metadata as it does on NetWare. This database
file is updated when you:

Add file system trustees and rights

Delete file system trustees and rights

Modify file system trustees and rights
When you migrate an NSS volume from NetWare to Linux, the trustee database file does not exist.
NCP Server reads the trustee and rights information from the NSS file system metadata, validates
the User object, and stores the settings in a
the volume. The information collection process begins automatically when the NSS volume is
mounted on the OES 2 Linux server.
