Converting NetWare 6.5 Clusters

to OES 2 Linux

You can use a rolling cluster conversion to convert a Novell

NetWare

6.5 SP8 to Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 SP1 Linux. This section describes

how to prepare for and perform the conversion, and how to manage the temporarily mixed cluster

during the conversion.
