Page 18: Edirectory Rights Needed For Installing Oes
To install an OES server in a tree, you must have rights to extend the schema, meaning that you need Supervisor rights to the [Root] of the tree. You can extend the schema by using the Novell Schema Tool in YaST or by having a user with Supervisor rights to the [Root] of the eDirectory tree install the first OES server and the first instance of each OES service that will be used into the tree.
Page 19: Rights Required For Subcontainer Administrators
This section outlines the eDirectory rights required and explains how a subcontainer administrator approaches various installation tasks. Section 2.5.1, “Rights Required for Subcontainer Administrators,” on page 19 Section 2.5.2, “Starting a New Installation as a Subcontainer Administrator,” on page 21 Section 2.5.3, “Adding/Configuring OES Services as a Different Administrator,”...

“The OES 2 Solution: Standardizing the UIDs on all OES servers” on page 24 NetStorage, X-Tier, and Their System Users By default, certain OES services, such as NetStorage, rely on a background Novell service named X-Tier. To run on an OES server, X-Tier requires two system-created users (named...
Page 24 X-Tier users and the novlxtier group. You need these to standardize the IDs on the server. 3 Download the following script file: fix_xtier_ids.sh (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/scripts/fix_xtier_ids.sh) 4 Customize the template file by replacing the variables in angle brackets (<>) as follows: <server_name>: The name of the server object in eDirectory.
Page 25 For example, if the server name is myserver, replace <server_name> with myserver so that the line in the settings section of the script reads server=myserver <context>: The context of the X-Tier user and group objects. Replace this variable with the fully distinguished name of the context where the objects reside.

“Extending the Schema While Installing OES 2” on page 27 “Using the YaST Plug-In to Extend the Schema” on page 27 “Extending the Schema for Novell Cluster Services” on page 28 Who Can Extend the Schema? Only an administrator with the Supervisor right at the [Root] of an eDirectory tree can extend the tree’s schema.
Page 27: Extending The Schema While Installing Oes 2
3 Depending on the installation method you used, you might be required to insert your OES 2 installation media. 4 On the Novell eDirectory Extension Utility page, specify the information for an eDirectory server with a Read/Write replica of the Root partition.

“Deciding Whether to Run OES Services on VM Host Servers” on page 193 Meeting Server Hardware and Software Requirements To accommodate NetWare VM guest servers, your VM host servers must: Meet the criteria specified in “Setting Up a Virtual Machine Host” (http://www.novell.com/ documentation/sles10/book_virtualization_xen/data/cha_xen_virtualization_vhost_setup.html) in the Virtualization with Xen (http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles10/ book_virtualization_xen/data/book_virtualization_xen.html)
Page 194: Planning For Netware Vm Guest Servers
To ensure that optimal resources are available to the virtual machines, each VM host server should be dedicated to running the Xen virtualization software as much as possible. However, there are several good reasons why you might want to choose to install one or more of the supported OES services on the host server itself.

Page 201 By default, this is a sparse file, meaning that although 10 GB is allocated, the size of the file on the disk is only as large as the actual data it contains. Sparse files conserve disk space, but they have a negative impact on performance. The NetWare install allocates 500 MB for a DOS partition and 4 GB for the volume.

If the option to launch the VM Manager for installing a NetWare guest is not available, the most likely cause is that the Xen kernel is not running on the Xen VM host server. See The Boot Loader Program (http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles10/book_virtualization_xen/data/ sec_xen_config_bootloader.html) in the Virtualization with Xen (http://www.novell.com/ documentation/sles10/book_virtualization_xen/data/book_virtualization_xen.html) guide. 204 OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide...

IMPORTANT: After adding the block device, you will probably need to reboot the NetWare VM guest before it will recognize it.
Page 207: Disabling Oes 2 Services
Disabling OES 2 Services ® Although you can uninstall Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES) Linux service RPMs through YaST , we do not recommend it because so many modules have interdependencies. Uninstalling services can leave the server in an undesirable state. Instead, we recommend disabling the service.

Page 211: A Installing With Evms As The Volume Manager Of The System Device
Section A.3, “Using EVMS to Manage Devices,” on page 217 A.1 Using EVMS to Manage the System Device The Novell Storage Services file system requires that the Enterprise Volume Management System (EVMS) be used as the volume manager of devices that contain (or will contain) NSS pools and volumes.
Page 212: Configuring The System Device To Use Evms
Possible workarounds for these problems are: (Recommended) Use Additional Disks for NSS Pools and Volumes: Use multiple devices on the server, and reserve the system device for system partitions and Linux POSIX file systems. Create NSS pools and volumes on the non-system disks only. This solution does not require that the system device be managed by EVMS.
Page 213: Prerequisites
Table A-1 shows the default proposed setup for a machine with 768 MB RAM. The default swap size is 1 GB or larger, depending on the size of the RAM on your machine.

If you install iManager on a different server, make sure you install the storage-related plug-ins that you need to manage NSS file system and services. For information about installing storage-related plug-ins on an existing server, see “Novell iManager and Storage-Related Plug-Ins” in the OES 2 SP2: NSS File System Administration Guide.
Page 218: Linux Posix File Systems On Evms-Managed Devices
For the best performance, if you plan to use a non-system device for both NSS and Linux POSIX file systems, create the NSS file systems on the device first. NSS partitions the device in a manner that ensures the best performance for the NSS file systems, and does not adversely affect performance for Linux POSIX file systems.
