6.3.2 Apache Web Server

1 On NetWare, offline the NSS pool cluster resource, then modify its load and unload scripts to
remove the Apache start and stop commands.
2 On NetWare, online the cluster resource, then cluster migrate it to a Linux node.
3 After the cluster conversion is finished, use the standard Apache Web Server for Linux to set up
the Apache service on the OES 2 Linux servers.
4 Use a procedure similar to the one on NetWare to set up the Apache configuration file, and
copy it to every Linux node in the cluster. Point the service to the virtual IP address of the NSS
pool cluster resource that contains the Web content.
5 On Linux, offline the cluster resource, then modify its load and unload scripts to add the
Apache service start and stop commands for Linux.
6 Online the cluster resource.

6.3.3 Apple Filing Protocol (AFP)

Novell 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 migration
tool to convert the configuration. For information, see
Linux
" in the
OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration
The commands in the scripts are also different. After the migration, modify the load and unload
scripts on the Linux server. For information, see
Resource Script Commands," on page
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
in the
OES 2 SP2: NCP Server for Linux Administration

6.3.4 Archive and Version Services

Mixed-node cluster configurations are not supported by Novell Archive and Version Services.
Before you begin the conversion, make sure that Archive and Version Services is not running on the
NetWare servers in the cluster.
1 Install Archive and Version Services on an OES 2 Linux node in the cluster.
2 Install Archive and Version Services on a a second OES 2 Linux node in the cluster.
3 Using the database migration tools, migrate the data in the MySQL database on NetWare to the
PostgreSQL database on of the Linux nodes.
4 Cluster migrate the shared NSS pool resource that contains the volumes that were being
archived from the NetWare server to a Linux node.
5 Remove the NetWare nodes from the cluster and finish the cluster conversion process.
6 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.
