Customizing The Software Selections; Combining Hard Disk Partitions - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP2 Installation Manual

Combining Hard Disk Partitions

Partitions from two or more hard disks can be combined by using the logical volume manager
(LVM).
Partitions (physical volumes) can be combined into a volume group, which in turn can be
divided into logical volumes that contain their own file systems.
Doing this increases flexibility because physical volumes can be easily added to the volume group if
more storage space is needed. Logical volumes can be added while the machine is up and running.

Customizing the Software Selections

IMPORTANT: To install any of the OES patterns, you must customize the software selections. If
you don't make any selections, only the base SLES 10 and base OES packages are installed.
However, you can install any of the patterns after the base SLES installation is complete. See
"Installing or Configuring OES 2 SP2 on an Existing Server" on page
To customize which software packages are installed on the server:
1 On the Installation Settings page, click Software.
The Open Enterprise Server add-on adds the OES Services category of patterns to the base
software selection categories offered by the SLES 10 installation. OES Services include
patterns that contain Novell services or products such as Novell DNS and DHCP services,
iPrint, or iManager.
None of the OES Services is selected by default. This lets you fully customize your OES server.
2 At this point, you can do the following to customize your software selections:
Select any number of the OES Services patterns.
