Comments
NSS itself is not
clustered. The NSS
service must be installed
and running on each
server node where you
want to load the shared
pools. Server-level NSS
parameter changes must
be made manually on
each node.
Shared NSS pools and
volumes that were
created on NetWare can
be migrated or failed
over from a NetWare
server to a Linux server
during a cluster
conversion. For
information, see
Chapter 6, "Converting
NetWare 6.5 Clusters to
OES 2 Linux," on
page 59.
Most NSS features are
available on both
platforms. For
information see "Cross-
Platform Issues for NSS"
in the OES 2 SP2: NSS
File System
Administration Guide.
You cannot convert the
NetWare Tomcat
configuration for a Linux
server.
