System from NetWare to Linux

For general information about moving from a NetWare cluster to a Linux cluster, see "Converting
a NetWare Cluster to Linux" in "Installation and Setup" in the OES Novell Cluster Services 1.8.2
Administration Guide for Linux. It is possible to have a cluster that includes both NetWare and
®
Linux servers. Therefore, you can move your GroupWise 8 system from NetWare servers to Linux
servers one component at a time. However, all of the servers on the failover list of each GroupWise
component must be of the same platform. For example, a domain and MTA on a NetWare server
cannot fail over to a Linux server; they must fail over to another NetWare server.
Ideally, you should administer a GroupWise system on Linux using the Linux version of
®
ConsoleOne , which is available from Novell Product Downloads site (http://
download.novell.com).
The GroupWise Server Migration Utility Installation and Migration Guide provides instructions to
help you move components of your GroupWise system to Linux.
GroupWise 6.5 cannot run in a cluster on Linux. Therefore, if you have a clustered GroupWise 6.5
system, you must update it to GroupWise 8 before you can move it into a Linux cluster.
