1.5.1 Dynamic Storage Technology

OES 2 introduces Novell Dynamic Storage Technology, a unique storage solution that lets you
combine a primary file tree and a shadow file tree so that they appear to NCP and Samba/CIFS users
as one file tree. The primary and shadow trees can be located on NSS volumes on the same server or
on different servers.
This lets you manage storage costs in new and efficient ways that were not previously possible.
For more information, see the related sections in
page 121 and the

1.5.2 OES 2 Migration Tools

In addition to the legacy Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, OES 2 includes new migration
tools for migrating data and services from NetWare to OES 2.
For more information, see
page 73.

1.5.3 Xen Virtualization Technology

Both OES 2 and NetWare 6.5 SP8 can run in virtual machines on either an OES 2 or a SUSE
Enterprise Server 10 SP1 or later server. This is especially valuable to those organizations that are
deploying new hardware that doesn't run NetWare as a physical installation.
For more information, see

1.6 Where's NetWare?

Novell Open Enterprise Server SP3 does not include NetWare. Anyone who wants to deploy
NetWare in an OES 2 SP3 environment should download NetWare 6.5 SP8 from the
download site
