Dhcp Server - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP 2 - CLUSTER SERVICES 1.8.7 FOR LINUX Manual

Use one of these two methods for migrating the VLDB from NetWare to Linux:
"Cluster Migrating the Shared NSS Volume for the VLDB" on page 69
"Adding a Linux Server as a Replica Site" on page 69
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 Install Novell Storage Services and any dependent services on the Linux node, then add it to the
mixed cluster that you are converting.
2 Cluster migrate the DFS cluster resource from NetWare to Linux.
3 On the Linux node where the VLDB is active, offline the DFS cluster resource.
4 Remove the NetWare clusters from the cluster by using the
finish the cluster conversion.
This automatically updates the basic cluster commands in the cluster resource scripts.
5 Using the Clusters plug-in in iManager, modify the load script of the DFS cluster resource to
change the command to the Linux format. For example, change it from
vldb
vldb /dir=vldbpath
to
vldb -dir /vldbpath
6 Online the cluster resource.
7 Run a VLDB repair to ensure that the database is correct.
Adding a Linux Server as a Replica Site
Use this method if you want to use a different shared disk for the VLDB on Linux. You can do this
by adding a DFS replica site on Linux.
1 Install OES 2 Linux on the server that you want to add to the cluster. Make sure Novell Storage
Services and any dependent services are installed.
2 Create a shared NSS pool and volume on the OES 2 Linux server, or create a shared Linux
POSIX volume.
3 In iManager, add the Linux server as the second VLDB replica site for the DFS management
context, and point to the shared NSS volume as the VLDB location.
4 Allow the VLDB data to synchronize between the NetWare replica and the Linux replica.
5 In iManager, remove the NetWare instance of the replica site.
6 Add the Linux server to the mixed-node NetWare cluster.
7 Continue with the cluster conversion as described in
Nodes to OES 2 Linux (Rolling Cluster Conversion)," on page

6.3.7 DHCP Server

The Novell DHCP Server for Linux is a standards compliant implementation that is based on the
bind protocol. DHCP uses a different schema on Linux to store the configuration in eDirectory.
