The Novell Distributed File Services volume location database (VLDB)
on both NetWare and Linux. The shared NSS volume that contains the
migrated to the Linux server.
Use one of these two methods for migrating the VLDB from NetWare to Linux:

Section 10.1, "Cluster Migrating the Shared NSS Volume for the VLDB," on page 47

Section 10.2, "Adding a Linux Server as a Replica Site," on page 48
10.1 Cluster Migrating the Shared NSS Volume
for the VLDB
Use this method if you want to use the same shared disk where the VLDB is currently stored.
1 For each Linux node where you expect to run the VLDB service, install Novell Storage
Services and any of its dependent services on the Linux node, then add it to the mixed cluster
that you are converting.
2 For each of the Linux nodes, assign the node's nssadmin user as a trustee of the container that is
configured as the Management Context for the VLDB, and give the user at least the
rights to the
Compare
IMPORTANT: If the Management Context is configured to use the container that contains a
node's Server object, the nssadmin User object for that server is a already a trustee of the
container and has the
nssadmin User object when you add rights for the
2a In iManager, select Rights > Modify Trustees.
2b Select the container that is configured as the Management Context, then click OK.
2c Click Add Trustee, select the nssadmin User object, then click OK.
The nssadmin User object is in the same container as its server. The username format is
servnameadmin.context. For example, if the server name is
then server1admin.ou1.mycompany is the nssadmin username.
2d Click Assigned Rights for the selected nssadmin User object.
