Novell Distributed Print Services Cannot Migrate To Linux; Nss Caveats - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER - PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 12-2010 Implementation Manual

NetWare Licenses and OES 2 Trees
OES doesn't use Novell Licensing Services
servers don't need a license container in eDirectory as part of the server installation.
In a mixed OES 2 and NetWare eDirectory tree, at least one NetWare server must hold a replica for
each partition where there is a NetWare server object. Without this configuration, It is impossible to
install licenses or to service requests from NetWare servers to consume those licenses.
If you need to install a NetWare server in an OES tree, you must do the following after installing the
first NetWare server in a partition:
1 Install iManager on the NetWare server, or use iManager Workstation.
You can do this during initial installation or later as described in
Novell iManager 2.7 Installation
2 Add a Read/Write replica to the server as described in
eDirectory 8.8 Administration
3 Install the NetWare license as described in
the NW 6.5 SP8: Licensing Services Administration
The iManager Licensing plug-in is not installed on OES servers. If you have configured Role-
Based Services, you need to make sure the licensing plug-in is installed and added to the RBS
collection. For more information, see
Installation
NetWare 6.5 Servers Must Be Running SP3 or Later
If you are installing OES 2 servers into a tree containing NetWare 6.5 servers, be sure that the
following server types have been updated to SP3 or later prior to installing OES 2:

SLP Directory Agents: If the SLP Directory Agents on your network are not running NetWare
6.5 SP3 or later, installing an OES 2 server into the tree can cause the DA servers to abend.

LDAP Servers: If the LDAP servers referenced in your installation are not running NetWare
6.5 SP3 or later, the servers might abend during a schema extension operation.
3.9.15 Novell Distributed Print Services Cannot Migrate to
Linux
NDPS clients are not supported on OES. You must therefore migrate any NDPS clients to iPrint
before you migrate your print services to OES. For more information, see

About New Media Support and Clusters
The new media support for hard links on OES 2 NSS volumes was not available for OES 1 SP2
Linux and earlier, but it was available for NetWare 6.5 SP4 and later.
