the cluster and automatically switched to another server if the hosting server fails.
By manually switching services, IT organizations can maintain and upgrade servers

13.1.6 NetWare Core Protocol Support (Novell Client Support)
on Linux
Many organizations rely on Novell Client
highly secure file storage services.
Novell Storage Services (NSS) volumes are NCP volumes by nature, and you can also define Linux
POSIX volumes as NCP volumes. The main difference in access control between NSS volumes and
Linux POSIX volumes that are defined as NCP volumes is that NSS extended file and directory
attributes are not available on Linux POSIX volumes.
The NCP server for OES 2 lets you attach to Linux POSIX volumes that are defined as NCP
volumes using Novell Client software. For more information, see
