®
The Novell Server Consolidation Utility supports Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) on the
®
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) platform as a destination server. This chapter discusses
special considerations and steps that must be taken when consolidating data from NetWare
Windows to OES Linux.
Novell recommends that you read through this information carefully and plan how to proceed before
you start your OES Linux consolidation project.

8.1 Meet System and Software Requirements

Linux destination servers must be installed and running Open Enterprise Server with the following
components enabled:
Novell eDirectory
TM
Novell NCP Server for Linux
TM
Novell Storage Services
Novell Storage Management Services
Novell Linux User Management (LUM)
For more information on installing and configuring OES on Linux, see the
Guide.
If you are copying data from NetWare source servers, one or more NSS volumes must be created
and configured on the Linux destination server. These are the only volumes where you can drop
folders in the Server Consolidation Utility project window. For more information on creating NSS
volumes, see the OES 2: NSS File System Administration
If you are copying data from Windows source servers, you can drop folders onto NCP volumes. For
more information on NCP volumes, see the
